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

California Uber Alles
But yeah, hippies are fucking scary. I worked at an organic food store for like a few months until I got fired cause they didn't order flour so I went home instead of baking muffins and cookies WITHOUT FLOUR. I WAS A BAKER, what the fuck do you want? I can't go to the store and get some cause it's an organic place and so it's specific products going in, I can improvise quite a bit, I'm a very very good cook and being able to improvise very well and reworking recipes or just making up new ones on the fly is really one of my greatest strengths. But I need fucking flour. It was according to them my 'attitude' which was not giving a fuck cause they hired one 17 year old to handle all the dry bulk orders and I wasn't allowed to just order shit myself, she dropped the ball, not me. I had a better gig ready to roll anyway so it was fine. There was a walk out a year later and it's now under new ownership.
Also like 80% of the profit was from 'supplements' aka fake medicine. There were people dying of cancer who wouldn't see doctors and were convinced this was the real shit, and bear in mind, we have public Healthcare here, these people profited off of it. Sometimes it was people who doctors said there was nothing that could be done and were just yknow dying and willing to try anything and this place was there to exploit that and bleed their next of kinda inheritance on snake oil. So if mainstream medicine is an evil for profit industry that wants to keep you sick even in a country with socialized Healthcare somehow, what's the fucking difference? If their shit worked they'd be no better than big pharma gouging people for medicine, but they're worse cause it doesn't even fucking work. And whsts even sicker is they're convinced it does. They believe it. Our uniforms at the place had 'it's our lifestyle 'on the back. No it fucking isn't. I also lived with Gen x hippies for a good while cause my first girlfriends family is thst and their parents who are older hippies and they're just libertarians. Absolutely self centered outside of their immediate group and they all act like a weird cult to each other. It's weird and gross.
Never follow a hippie to a second location
