Hi everybody! I’ve been lurking all the way back since the Chapo subreddit and never made an account there or here. I don’t know why not or what changed in my weird brain to make me decide to finally do it last night, but I did and then the site almost immediately went down lmao, so sorry about that. monke-beepboop

(Btw, does anyone know how to clear the second set of pronouns on your profile? I don’t know how to deselect it. Not that I don’t consider myself a comrade, it just looks a little redundant having double thems there.)

      I don’t remember if it was here or the subreddit but the bit where someone kept photoshopping Charlie Kirk’s face slightly smaller really got me charlie-kirk

      During the early parts of the Ukraine war, the newsmega here was one of the only places I felt sane getting any information about it so big shout out to SeventyTwoTrillion. Tons of people in my day to day life were full on "Ghost of Kiev"pilled and thought mentioning anything about Maidan and the Donbas conflict or anything bad about Azov was Russian disinformatsya. Hell, my own parents started watching the fucking Zelensky comedy show where he was a teacher that becomes the Ukrainian president on accident and I was fully 👁️ about predictive programming for a second.
