That’s exactly what comes to my mind whenever I hear people talk about how things are a conspiracy.

- Comment on What kind of things would you get up to finally doing if death was after you? 3 days ago:
This is an interesting question, long story short I thought I was dying for a few days a while back (I’m fine).
Knowing my time could be really limited completely changed my perspective on life, I almost instantly stopped caring about most things that were important or I was preoccupied with just a day earlier.
My thoughts were a bit all over the place, but overall I just wanted to spend the time I have left in the most meaningful way I could, with the people I love.
- Comment on What's the best present you've ever received or given? 3 days ago:
I bought a Michael Jackson vinyl bobblehead figurine for someone who really loves Michael Jackson, for Christmas.
I thought it was a pretty shit present but I didn’t know much else about this person. She literally cried of joy when she saw it and thanked me a million times. I think this is the happiest I’ve ever made someone with a present, and it was pretty inexpensive.

- Comment on North Korea’s Kim Jong Un reportedly ordered dozens of officials executed after deadly floods 2 months ago:
North Korea doesn’t have accountability, the ruling class is corrupt and rules with impunity. They have scapegoats, sometimes you have to sacrifice a few officials to shift the blame and make it seem like you’re taking action.

Isn’t it supposed to be “merge like a zip”?
- Comment on Yall need to cheer up 6 months ago:
There’s always going to be a status quo, an absolutely equal society can’t exist when people are not identical. You just want a different status quo.

You…
You’re one of my favorite people.
- Comment on What do you think people take too seriously? 7 months ago:
Hands down politics, or seeing everything from a political lens.
Not everything has to be a fucking political statement, and not everything about politics has to be life or death. That’s just bullshit that politicians want you to buy into so that you’re emotionally hijacked enough to be easy to manipulate. Take a step back and stop taking them so damn seriously.

Clothes, mostly. I’m not unemployed and you can find affordable clothes, so there’s no need for it.

- Comment on Deeper, chief! Expanding federation 7 months ago:
I mean we’re not trying to be wolfballs or EH reincarnate, and we’re not an absolutist free speech instance either. I think right now HC is not that controversial, they’re more likely to defederate us because of people claiming we’re just like these past “evils” than they are to defederate us for what we actually are. I hope they can see past that, but I guess we’ll find out.
Regardless, I don’t think we have anything to lose.
- Comment on Deeper, chief! Expanding federation 7 months ago:
It is nice, and yes I completely agree with you, being antagonistic doesn’t help anything.
I think HC right now is a desirable instance to federate with, we are content generators (which very few instances are) and we’re not trying to fight anyone or piss anyone off on purpose. Majority of our content is not political at all either.
I think most of the instances that have de-federated us went by the “they’re just EH reincarnated” stigma and didn’t bother to look any further. I think that’s pretty silly, since we’re really not that despite many users having come from there.
We’re always going to be a bad fit with the “super safe space” instances and that’s fair enough, but my hope is we can play together with everyone else.
- Comment on Ok guys, just quick thoughts after reevaluating the situation with the instance 7 months ago:
That’s unfortunately how it is, most people don’t post anything. It’s the same on all instances, the proportion of active users is tiny compared to the total user count. It’s very hard to get a critical mass of active posters going.
I think it’s a good call, I agree it’s probably going to be a slow burn over time.
