    Seems like there are 4 or 5 hexbearians from the area which is a lot more than I would’ve guessed. Definitely upgraded my opinion of our city a bit. And I didn’t mean to imply it’s a uniquely shitty city, just one that has personally infuriated me quite a few times.

      Nah, I get it. I’m from one of the small towns originally, we got a lot of shitty people and shitty places around here, but also a lot of good people too and I have a special place in my heart for the big cities. Sending my love comrade, maybe you’ll see the Hexbear sticker on my car one day hexbear-chapochat
