Once gave a ride to a dude on Grindr that was leaving his abusive husband at 4am for similar reasons, didn’t know the neighbors, didn’t trust they wouldn’t be violently anti gay.
Another time I was broke down on the side of the road and a dude came and hung out with me in freezing weather until the wrecker got there.
One other time I was broke down in a city an hour from home in a blizzard (I’ve had a lot of shitty cars) and a dude got me a hotel room for the night, no strings.
Grindr, and the gay community in general, can sometimes be really great places
Thanks for sharing - the gay community can be awesome sometimes!
This is only tangentially related, but in university, I became acquainted with the party gays, which meant I went to a few parties where there was plenty of drug use going on. I remember being initially very intimidated by this, but then realising how actually, I felt way less pressured to do anything than I would’ve done on a “regular” night out, with my mostly straight friend group. Additionally, I felt like people who I barely knew had my back, regardless of what intoxicants I may or may not have been partaking in on a given night.
Don’t get me wrong, this kind of atmosphere can be one of the most pernicious aspects of the LGBTQ community, especially because the wider context of things acts as pressure in and of itself. However, I was blown away by the sheer wholesomeness I experienced in settings where I wouldn’t have expected to find it (especially when I started university, shy and semi-closeted as I was).
The party gays can be super cool. They’ll hook you up if you’re into it, and just appreciate the trip sitter/designated driver if not. Haha
A faucet assembly contains nearly no screws.
Some may have a single hex screw holding it’s handle in place. If the faucet has two knobs each knob may be held in place with a Phillips head screw.
But a flat head screw? Maybe to pry a cover off something, but for that you could just use a butter knife. Flat head screws are more commonly used on electrical faceplates and barely anywhere else.
?In my experience a lot of shutoff valves on faucets, particularly shower and tub faucets, are flathead screws.
Crazy, i’m used to shutoff valves having handles.
Same here, this is weird.
I have a flathead in my plumbing bag because sometimes those funny shaped nuts are so inconveniently located the only thing that will get to it is a really frigging long screwdriver.
Though if it’s leaking…? From where? Won’t shut all the way off or the drainage or around the faucet? I need more details.
Yeah I wondered the same thing.
Who doesn’t have a flathead screwdriver at home? That’s like a “Living 101” level tool
Yes, but even if you don’t have one, everyone will have several dozen things which can turn a flathead screw/bolt with a bit of willpower.
That’s kind of touching. I hope it’s true.
fuck hexbe4r
I swear to god you people are like the cone nipple vs. spiral nipple race war meme personified.
wait… there are spiral nipples?
Hexbear: posts a cute meme
Infosec.pub: string of explicatives
Who is the bad guy here?
hexb3r: posts never ending brigades of anti-solidarity, direct russian psyop propaganda, fake socialist exclusivity, rage bait, concern trolling, and zero moderation of obvious bad actors.
underpantsweevil: they posted a cute meme! they’re the good guys!
While I generally agree with your sentiment about hb, I don’t block them in my feed because of mod duties. And lucky for y’all, I filter out all the pig-poop-balls content on your behalf, and only crosspost the good memes :p
the constant pig poop balls is a dead giveaway that they’re disingenuous….
no way they actually think that means something to anyone… unless they’re russian
posts never ending brigades of anti-solidarity, direct russian psyop propaganda, fake socialist exclusivity,
Point to any of this on their frontpage.
look for yourself
Bro this is Reddit. Evidence is for chumps.
sigh So true.
Adverse selection means we got some of the old site’s worst posters.
Infosec claiming other communities are brigading is top tier meme material.
bruh, i’m not a representative of infosec in any shape or form
Does cross posting imply that the post already existed somewhere else first? I’ve submitted links independently which then showed up as a crosspost from somewhere else.
I wonder if you’re on an instance that doesn’t federate if it would still show up as a crosspost.
If you use the same URL for a link, I believe it records the parent as the first place it was listed assuming you’re Federated.
Idk how images work.
dbzero is a bridge between World and Hexbear, so we occasionally see people like an image while a smaller group of anti-hexbear zealots start screaming in the comments that the site is hosted in Russia or some such nonsense.
Legit question. How do I block all hexbe4r posts from hitting my feed?
See this post.
Omg thank you!!
Game recognise game, tho.
what?
It’s a good meme. No matter where it’s from.
it’s fine
Play the ball, not the player.
make actual statements, not meaningless references to figures of speech that don’t even kind of apply….
