oh yeah it's totally fine! The custom emojis are fun but not necessary lol. I'm glad you like it here! I find it to be a super supportive community too. Can be toxic like most online spaces here and there but for the most part people are hilarious, intelligent, and super nice unlike other places on the internet that I've found and I'm grateful for it
Not sure if it works for kbin, but if you look at the bar above the text box there should be icons that help you format your comment. The smiley face one should pop up an emoji menu. You can also just start typing :"random word": and most of the time suggestions will come up that can be pretty funny. If you use a mobile app I'm not sure that you'll see all that though. On your phone you should be able to long press an emoji too and itll show you what the keyword, or on a desktop just drag your mouse over the icon, try on this 
Agree with this. I went through a sort of identity crisis in my early 20's because I never related to being a "Red blooded American" or anything like that and kinda actively despised it as a baby punk. A lot of my close family is Mexican, and at the time that was a part of my upbringing that I became very fond of; I was raised by my Mexican family as a very young child so I kinda started going down that road. I very quickly learned that I shouldn't start hardcore co-opting culture or anything like that, but it DID inspire me to study Latin American/Latino studies in college as a way to learn about and connect to some rich cultures, and that really radicalized me, so I am grateful for that experience.
Still have that yearning for connection to where I came from, though, since the US isn't my home (or it isn't supposed to be)
In order to post on Hexbear you must become a CIA asset
Students who graduate from CIA assassination training are part of an elite class of ~~soldiers~~ posters. Their work is only ever acknowledged by their ~~superiors~~ admins. They live a life of secrecy and they risk their lives regularly. CIA ~~assassins~~ posters in training should know that their actions may be scrutinized by future administrations, and total knowledge of their involvement in ~~assassinations~~ posting may be disavowed.
Did you happen to forget that Hexbear is a serious posting website only and that you can only give cold, calculating, professional, objective analysis and if you utter any words of disappointment or frustration that comes naturally out of a high stress situation, that you will need to write up a report defending that position to your dying breath even when it should be obvious that underneath it all you know that the situation is more nuanced?
I am really invested in reading through everyone's analysis and predictions and even the pushback between positions is illuminating, but I said this in another comment I think there needs to be a bit more grace for people. The same sentiments being recycled over and over can get annoying for sure but people cannnn just ignore the comments they don't like and move on, especially if they've been argued over dozens of times already. Feels like we are due for our monthly spat of strugglesession though so we just gotta ride it out
Came on the YouTube algorithm this morning. Very chill but still has that jungle BPM to help keep me moving while getting ready for the day. I'm really selective about my EDM nowadays so it's always nice to find something I enjoy.
Reminds me of my old renegade rave days on the beach 
My friend who was just denied for SSI benefits just got tickets on both of his cars for expired registration. One vehicle acts as emergency shelter as he has been housing insecure for years, and the other is what he uses for work (delivery driver). He can barely work as it is due to his disability, anything helps!
The amount would cover both parking tickets, plus 1 year car registration for each vehicle. Even if we could get to half of that he would be sooo grateful. Thank you comrades 
DM me for money transfer info
UPDATE: my friend got locked out of his delivery driving account since his registration was flagged and so he cannot do the only job that he's been able to do with his disability. He cannot stand or walk for long periods at all and is waiting for surgery. He has already been talking to his housemate about moving back into his van due to his inability to pay rent, even before his account got locked.
