phone’s browser (safari) had 1.2GB of website data in my local storage, nearly 1.1GB of that was hexbear??

when i deleted the hexbear data safari took up 90% less storage, have i just been that much of a chronic lurker or is more data being stored than should be? i promise i use other websites

it’s not 20-30% of them, it’s +20-30 net percentage points which means a majority or at least plurality want it (eg if 60% of ppl support it, 30% are against it, 10% don’t know, then 60% - 30% = +30 pts)

capitalism breed innovation

probably had a bunch of assholes spending weeks making a 300 page marketing report on why they chose roboto over arial while earning 7 figures

looked up his religious beliefs and it seems he’s an atheist/agnostic who subscribes to christianity solely for the vibes and his western world fetish

Elon Musk announced that he’s a “big believer in the principles of Christianity” and “a cultural Christian”. Musk’s reasons are moral and political – he believes Christianity can boost both happiness and birthrates.

the other day my 70s born dad got pissy when i asked him if movie theaters had color when he was a teenager

people who say that have either never owned a cat or never truly tried to bond with theirs. my cat rubs on me and purrs when i’m crying, guards the bathroom door when i’m taking a shit, and freaks out meowing and scratching on the door like i’m drowning when i shower

she also has full on separation anxiety from me even though my mom’s the one who feeds her and stuff. the first couple weeks i was away for college she got depressed and full on neglected herself, not eating as much and looking mangy because she barely groomed herself. last time she heard my voice over the phone she meowed and searched the house all confused :/

communism is when the government does stuff. communist = authoritarian. aspiring strongman leader = communist

implied that natural gas was a renewable energy source

literally something i’ve only heard from ultraconservative climate denialists

“This debate swayed my vote”

1 in 4 yes

do they just…not know what sway means?

most americans are heavy into the “we do not negotiate with terrorists” fantasy

she’s an immigrant who was raised by muslim refugee parents, definitely about to be fodder for swiss fash who’ll ignore the fact she’s agnostic

i’m expecting to see dozens of social media clips captioned “Kamala served BRAT 💚🥥” and edits of her to charli xcx and other mediocre popstars

phone or work phone that gives email notifications? i feel like that’d be a lot more convenient seeing they could wait 5 minutes vs having to immediately drop whatever they’re doing for a call

they mean draw what ur dick looks like cumming i think. this was in our library bathroom btw

average college male bathroom wall:

he’s definitely not losing in every swing state, most of the polls are super close to margin of error and trump’s gotten several leads. 538 simulates their odds of winning the electoral college:

https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2024-election-forecast/

right now they give trump a 44-in-100 chance of winning. that’s basically a coin toss, and it looks like his odds improved a bit in the past week

for comparison, before 2020 election day they gave biden a 89-in-100 chance of winning and in 2016 gave trump a 30-in-100 chance

supporting a ceasefire does not at all mean you’re pro-palestine. most EU countries voted for the UN deal months and months before all while supporting israel. plenty of zionists want a conditional deal where israel’s hostages are returned and palestine’s colonial subjugation and apartheid continue, just not as overtly.

found a poll from this week that 60% of americans support continuing military aid to israel. and you can’t assume the 40% against it are against it on principled grounds, many of them are simply isolationists who don’t want their taxpayer money going to other countries

thanks, and yeah it’s kinda like my brain is running 80mph instead of 100. ngl, i’m a little underwhelmed because i saw all these posts “first time i took adderall my inner monologue was quiet for the first time and i cried,” “i was able to do a chore without repeating it in my head 40 times,” “i finally felt present and out of my head when talking with someone,” etc

not expecting a miracle pill and i know i have to apply myself too, but everything is very subtle and i only feel slightly less scatterbrained. my psych said i seem to have severe ADHD but she wanted to see how it affected my anxiety and insomnia first (all of which it’s minorly helped), so now i have to wait another 2 weeks to talk about raising the dose. wish i’d started this earlier but oh well

also a couple frat boys tried to recruit me which surprised me because i dress somewhat alternative and they all look like clones. one gave me his insta and he had a group photo of like 25+ people where every single one of them was white despite our school being 50% poc, like wtf?

also very depressed rn. i transferred universities and this is my first week at a much bigger school than my last one. pretty intimidated cus i dont really know people here, and i’m in the sophomore dorms where it seems like everyone already knows each other and has their established groups :/

i went to a transfer meetup thing yesterday and got a couple instagrams and talked with someone for a little while, so that’s promising, but now idk what to do. kinda wanna hang out again but i don’t wanna come across as desperate dm’ing him at least for a couple days. he mentioned a rock climbing thing which i think i would be into.

club fair starts on wednesnday so hoping to meet people there but so far i’m feeling extremely lonely this weekend and a constant fomo. nervous i’m not going to make connections this year because i’m either too awkward when i’m anxious or too chatty when i’m comfortable

went on a starting dose of ADHD meds a couple weeks ago and they’ve been helping my social anxiety a good bit and maybe calmed my brain 20%, defo helping more than any anti-depressant meds ever have, but i’m still overthinking how things will go here at almost every moment and probably will be doing that all weekend. kinda just wish i could have a normal brain for once
