Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Kind of kooky how these once in a lifetime weather events just keep happening, man wonder what the cause is? Oh well.

One of my coworkers who im going to be working with much more closely now kept rambling about directed energy weapons in Hawaii

It's the same shit the right used to DEBOOONK the cali wildfires years back and where marjorie taylor greene got the "jewish space lasers" meme attached to her.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

I just can't figure out how she found out about my space laser... I tried distracting her with all of my blood libel and all-the-wars starting!

[–] TrashGoblin@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

My chuddy brother sent me a meme about that.

[–] GVAGUY3@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

Just tell them if China invented space lasers then we should just surrender to them

Why is this an emoji? It makes Hillary look cool.

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago

we have like 1200 emotes, there's bound to be some duds on the list.

Correct. She is cold blooded.

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Honestly folks it's fine. I just purchased some carbon offsets so that fixed it. The ocean cooled back down to a reasonable temperature and the hurricane will die down before it makes landfall

Come on dude, I was monitoring coast line house prices, they'll have to sell once water levels rise!

*I meant Hilary and Sunday.

Thanks! Didn't know that.

[–] pixelscience@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It will be a tropical storm, not a category 2 or 3... you can clearly see the yellow on the california coast and the yellow in the little color key below the map.

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Fortunately nobody lives in Mexico where it's going to hit first so that's fine

[–] Dolores@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

theory-gary baja is still california. you may refer to yankee-california as "occupied california" if you wish

[–] pixelscience@lemm.ee 11 points 2 years ago

The way the title is worded it's referring to landfall in California, not Mexico.

[–] Coolkidbozzy@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

looks like TJ and SD will hopefully be spared from a hurricane, at least

but that area is basically a desert lmao, I wonder how much erosion will happen
