Can someone please explain to me how some users are now able to wipe their account to the extent that it's not possible to even look at their /u/ page anymore? I've recently noticed there have been several former hexbear users (and current users who switched alts) that when trying to view their user page, it will just give an error as if that user never existed. Unlike with normally wiped accounts that still have a place holder for their account name and all comments are deleted, you can still come across old comments of these error-accounts where the content of the comment is still visible and not "deleted by creator."

There's all kinds of loopholes for this even in the states where it's illegal to sell. As someone mentioned in another thread, dairies will let customers buy token "ownership" of part of one of their cows. Since it's not illegal to drink raw from a cow you "own," the dairy can now charge you for the milk they extracted and distributed to you from "your" cow.

edit: it was @[email protected] who mentioned it here.

When your comment gets removed, you can go to https://hexbear.net/modlog and see the comment itself as well as the reason it was removed (usually). Same thing for post removals and bans.

As others have already informed you, saying "some dem ____" is indeed misogynistic. If you aren't misogynistic or don't consider yourself as such, please think about why that language is and commit to not using it in the future. As for the rest of your comment, I think everyone here is in agreement with.

That's not what I meant though. Before, you didn't have to log in even with a guest account to just observe. The page loaded and the video+chat were already going. Maybe that technically counts as being on a guest account, I don't know, but while just observing you couldn't participate in the chat until you entered in a guest name, which is what I would expect would constitute a guest account.

It was nice to be able just to load the page and see what was going on without having to log in or have your presence registered at all, though obviously also not having the ability to interact in any way, even as a guest. But I see that that is gone now too. I am constantly losing my connection with the shitty barely functional internet access I have, and "QuietCupcake has joined" showing in the chat window every 2 minutes was annoying as hell for me and presumably at least slightly for everyone else too. This sucks and seems like overkill, but whatever.

My local pharmacy just recently put up a sign in their window "We no longer carry or sell Codeine with Promethazine." All the thugs and the delinquent teens who want to be thugs are into that stuff, they even call it lean! We have to ban it pronto.

I don't think they realize they're like what, a decade or something behind the times now.

Am I the only one who saw this pic and immediately wondered why he would be standing up there with his hog out?

I know! It was awesome that way. Using a movie-specific name for different movies was fun (Stalin did that best). Popping in and being sly and anonymous (but respectful and not weird) was fun. It was almost always laid back. Sucks that this has to happen, but if it does, it does, I guess. deeper-sadness

Can we still watch without logging in at all? A lot of times, I'd watch a movie and read the chat without even using a guest account. Obviously couldn't join the conversation, just lurk. I'd imagine that still is the same.

I already have QuietCupcake registered with hextube even if I rarely used it. If that won't work anymore then yes, please just use my name here for the account mods, thanks.

More specifically, JT has done a couple AMA's here and Yugopnik came here to recruit our own local talent Eugene_V_Dabs to do video and editing work for him.

I'm not up to digging around for it right now either, but his antivegan cringe happened in his second AMA here, so it would be shortly after that for anyone who wants to try to find it. It wasn't all that long ago

Libs I know, after hearing me complain about capitalism, have told me "It's not like we're still living in the times of the Dickens novels. Oliver Twist wasn't a documentary, moron."

I now present them with this headline.
