It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

this is going viral online for being unhinged, although it has its fans. the author's parents are rich gusano pro lifers, and her mom was appointed to the state board of education by desantis

I had to give up halfway through this because of how painfully bad the writing is. The most shocking part of the text is that whoever wrote this claims to have an English degree.

I feel like the trainwreck of the opening sentence just captures the vibe

In the summer, in the south of France, my husband and I like to play, rather badly, the lottery.

Beyond how God awful the structure and pacing are, what is this content? It takes her like a hundred words and almost as many commas to say 'I won the lottery when I met my partner'.

Good writing - is when punctuation; the more punctuation, the gooder writing it is.

Are they 13 years old or something? It's written worse than verbose reddit comments, and that's saying something

Begging these people to read an actual book by a good author. Even books written for kids and teenagers are 100x better than this article.
