  • Probably stock up on shoes with different sole & treadhight. Flipflops one day, combat boots the next. Or identical shoes with different amounts of wear on the bottom, vary your leg height & you’ll adjust your posture to compensate. Might be able to get away with just carrying really heavy shit in only one of your pockets. Anything sensitive enough to track small signifiers in stride length & foot pronation would hopefully be easy to juke by that same sensitivity.






  • I thought about spraypaint, but i don’t know if that’ll hurt the snake. Would definitely piss it off. I figured a bit of nail polish would do the trick, but i dont know if thats bad for snakes either. And then at least i’d have a firm grasp on a pissed off snake. Was informed this was a terrible idea. DO NOT paint snakes.

    I’ve got a lot of rats & fieldmice around the house, so i dont mind the snakes. I just want to stop them from trying to raid my coop.

    rat-salute

    It happens to all of us at one time or another. We all live in societies scarred by hundreds of years of brainworms; Grew up with them, internalized them. It takes effort to just see the scope of these brainworms, much less change them.

    Most of Hexbear is hyper-vigilant against this sort of thing because we’ve spent a lot of time deprogramming ourselves and others of these particular ideological blinders. We can get pretty defensive when our fash-detectors ping. I’m sorry if we’ve hit you with undeserved ire.

    Yeah I saw that but only after I added terms like racist and offensive to my search result, meaning if I just type that phrase by itself into Google nothing.

    That’s the point of a dogwhistle. If they didnt want to whistle, they’d just yell a slur. The whole point of its racist usage being able to signal racist ideology to those in the know, while hiding behind people like yourself who insist on it being fine.

    The preferred response to learning of a dogwhistle for the first time is to go “Oh shit, my bad, i wont use it again.” It costs you nothing and removes camo for actual detestable people.

    When you argue to the effect “It not that racist”, you provide screening for racists, and are doing their work. Normalizing crypto racist shit attracts racists. For this reason, you will be dunked by bears.
