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

It’s funny that I’ll never have kids but if I did I’m “supposed to” experience the best thing in life (love for a child) yet the best thing I can do for the unborn child is to not bring them into existence because of how harsh it would be for them. In essence they exist but in reality they don’t because they shouldn’t exist because I’m stopping them from existing because my love for them is too strong.

Nerd reply guy: “Adopt kids” 🤓

why don’t you mind your own fucking business?

Is it better to gain positives or to avoid negatives?

Regardless as a utilitarian I need to have kids to run the moral calculation abacus

I think people are inherently gain seeking for the most part and I'm not really convinced by westerners about the "harshness" of life
