i am not a hexbear power poster i cannot even triforce

I hate to say it, but the owlposting scares them away anyways here's a triforce

with maybe, being really generous here, a hundred active users

be for real there are way more than just 'a hundred active users' lmao. there were over 900 active users on the homepage in the last 24 hours.

yes, there is probably only a hundred people who are making new posts daily but there are way more users across the site than you're saying.

anyways we should be atomized - half the posts in ChapoTrapHouse are shit. The Megathread is uh, a single thread.

I can commiserate as someone who has always had a strict 6 year limit (going in both directions) on the age of any potential interest. That means, as someone about to turn 30 next year, my cut-off for older interests is 35 (I'll bend this rule if like, the person is only a year or two older than the upper limit - but they have to be either really interesting as a person or really attractive. It's only happened once). If you're younger than 23, I don't care if you're literally sculpted by the gods or the only person on this entire earth who could ever fully understand me as a person - don't even look at me.

I wish I could be paid $6,000/week just to tell some stupid white woman "no, do not buy any more cheese..."lmfao

My notifications have for the past 4 years been unreliable lol. Replies will get stuck for days. Sometimes they won't trigger notifications/unread. Mark All Read will only work like 25% of the time and usually if I want to clear notifications I have to hit the button, go back to the homepage, navigate back to the Inbox, and hit the button again.

I've just succumbed to it. If Hexbear doesn't want me to reply to something, I won't....

Many time's its because we would only provide support in English. They could just put it through google translate and get the gist of it, but wont...

the fucked up thing is that, in my 6+ years of working at this specific job, I have found that the foreign language clients who reach out are NEVER as fucking helpless as the people from English speaking countries (I'm primarily talking about the US/UK/Australia). We actually run shit through Google Translate in the event someone writes in in like Swedish or Japanese & send our replies back translated; so I'd completely understand if someone wrote back in with like a "こんにちは。説明が理解できません。翻訳が間違っていると思います。ビデオを送ってもらえますか?" (Hi I can't understand those instructions I think they were translated wrong can you send a video?)

But no, this will be people who are native English speakers and they will fucking lose their shit if they get a succinct email back that puts each individual step into bullet points. "I DON'T LIKE READING EMAILS IT IS TOO HARD TO FOLLOW ALONG PLEASE SEND A VIDEO OR CAN WE SET UP A ZOOM SCREEN SHARING SESSION??" to which I reply no.

Real.

A large percentage of my job relies on giving instructions to the dumbest motherfuckers you've ever interacted with. I try to make it SUUUPER simple for people by including bullet points and/or numbered steps. It'll be shit like:

• Sign into your account
• Navigate to the area you're having trouble with
• Do this
• Done

Inevitably, I will get some fucker daily who is like "that's too much can you please send me a video" fuck off no just read what I sent you

The Justice and Vampire Weekend albums are pretty good but are the only ones I've listened to from your list.

I'm fully convinced the people I know with back pain that a chiropractor fixes are actually just getting stretched by them and feeling better from that.

Though cracking your back does feel great too, for me it's just something that happens as I stretch in stead of a stretch happening when I crack my back

Yeah this is genuinely 100% it in my experience having talked to many friends who are intelligent enough to realize "hmm maybe I shouldn't be letting this barely 'licensed' dude twist my neck around" but will gladly keep going because they've correlated their back feeling better with the appointments. In my experience though if you invite them to a yoga class, or just challenge their ego by saying they can't do Downward & Upward dog into Bow pose and subsequently leading them into it if they happen to be one of your male friends; suddenly they'll realize "wow this is a lot safer and more relaxing....I thought getting my back cracked was supposed to be painful" -- actual thing my friend, whose mother used to take him to her monthly chiro appointments, said to the rest of us after we started doing yoga on the beach one day.

people love chiropractors and it is so funny to me as someone whose parents have always been like "do not go to a chiropractor they will FUCK up your spine"

have had multiple friends throughout my life who have been like "I need to visit my chiropractor" whenever their back hurts and I'm always like NO...YOU NEED TO STRETCH...

ooh that one is very sneaky
