New account but I’ve been using burner accounts and lurking since the sub got banned. I’ve been seeing all the standard liberal brainworms again for the first time since people who wandered into the sub.

I gotta imagine this will only last another week before everyone defederates us, but let’s enjoy it for now.

Sometimes I think about trains, but then I remember that liberalism is the reason that American doesn’t have high speed rail, and also the reason I can’t get high speed railed (I am highly vulnerable to Covid and it makes dating unfeasible).

LIBS ARE REAL. ITS NOT AN OBSESSION ITS THE TRUTH. THEY BROADCAST THEIR BELIEVES WORLDWIDE ON LONG BAND RADIO FREQUENCY AND WIRED CONNECTIONS THROUGH YOUR SKULL DAILY[1][2]. THEY DONT WANT YOU TO KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT THEM THE SKY-FOX MEDIA WANTS US TO THINK THEY ARE A MINORITY THAT DONT MATTER AND THAT THEY ARE FIGHTING AGAINST BUT WE AT HTTPS HEXBEAR.COM[3] HAVE DISCOVERED: THEY LIVE AMONG US ALL! THERE MAY EVEN BE LIBERALS IN YOUR TOWN AS WE SPEAK?!?!

EVIDENCE SUGGESTS THAT THE LIBS HAVE RULED THE USA (UNITED STATES OF AMERICA) FOR MANY DECADES AND THAT EVEN THE FOUNDING FATHERS WERE ALLEGEDLY LIBS. COINCIDENCE??? IT WAS PLANNED FROM THE VERY START. BUT IT GOES FURTHER.

THE LIBS EVEN SECRETLY DOMINATE THE RIGHT WING WORLD WIDE[4][5][6] AND HID THIS FACT FROM THEIR FOLLOWERS. BUT THEY ARE BETRAYED BY THEIR CALLS FOR FREEDOM (LIBERTY && LIBRE) AND ECONOMIC LIBERALISM WHICH HAVE BEEN THE CORNERSTONES OF LIBERALISM[7] SINCE ITS BIRTH IN THE ENLIGHTENMENT ERA. THEY HAVE USED THE MASS MEDIA MODEL[8] TO TRICK THE MAINSTREAM PROPA-CULTURE INTO BELIEVING THE LIBERALS ARE MERELY THE IMPOTENT PASSIVE LEFT HALF[9] OF THE MAINSTREAM POP CULTURE AND NOT ENCOMPASSING ALL THREE LARGEST PARTIES OF THE TWO PARTY SYSTEM. ITS A NEO-LIBERAL EMPIRE AND YOURE LIVING IN IT.

Basically everything I just wrote is undisputed academic fact, despite the stylized phrasing. Liberalism is by far the dominant force and status quo in modern Western societies, it would be absurd not to address its issues when discussing politics.

Any sort of goober is funny. I’d happily take any other kind. Libs are just the generic donkey of the week that show up the most and post anything other than a slur. The other species of goobers don’t inadvertently end up on socialist websites so you can’t reliably bait them or expect them.

I do have another question I’ve been thinking about, yeah. It’s more for everyone, I’m not singling you out. When you make popcorn at home, do you heat up some butter and pour it on it and shake it up, or do you just add salt and eat it without extra butter?

permalink

I find that buttering homemade popcorn is a hassle that leads to a soggy kernels if you aren’t careful, I usually just add some fine popcorn salt to the frying oil before throwing the unpopped kernels in, imo that’s really all you need

permalink

depends on the preparation method. cooked in oil, no need for more. airpopped dry you need coconut oil or something to make salt, pepper, other spices stick.

so the problem with butter is that it has water content, so you’re inherently sogging your popcorn if you do that. clarified butter or ghee are good dairy solutions, and coconut oil is similar to what you’d get in a theater.

I’ve read all the answers. They’re all wrong.

  1. Get a microwave silicon bowl made specifically for popcorn. It has fill lines and everything.

  2. Pop in microwave until you can count 1 second between pops.

  3. Separately, heat up 3 - 5 tbsp of ghee.

  4. Pour ghee on popcorn. Shake.

Enjoy.

I use a vegan ‘butter flavoured’ substitute oil as I managed to find some restaurant stuff for cheap (not because but because it makes it a lot easier to make in a pot). I’m used to popcorn in a neutral vegetable oil with just salt.

I use canola oil in a sauce pan and pour the kernels on that, and that’s enough oil for me. Then I add nutritional yeast, although that doesn’t stick very well without extra oil.

Move on to where? The offline world? I’m not super online so I am completely unaware of any leftist forums that are remotely similar to prefederation hexbear. I will say there are limits to the entertainment value of having dumbasses wander into our threads, and sometimes the broken sorting mechanism is a bummer, so I get where you’re coming from. Honestly not sure where one would move on to though.

Can I ask why? They’ve only been in like a handful of threads and those are only the ones on frontpage of /all/ under “active” sort. Like, 3 or 4 bans per day seems like practically nothing? In the last week there have been 17 bans and 6 of those are ban evaders unrelated to federation. 11 bans in 7 days seems really low impact.
