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

I absolutely love how congress is so cringe on these things I'll find myself accidentally rooting for a CEO.

Yea I think they were talking to Zuckerberg at some point and I tuned in and some chid was just yelling over and over again "yes or no will you personally compensate everybody who lost somebody because of your site"

And I was rooting for zuck to tell them "no fuck off are you stupid"

Same thing with them repeatedly asking "do you agree the internet is a dangerous place for children" and if he started a response with anything other than yes they'd just yell over him. They asked him why he wouldn't answer the question directly and he was like "I'm not going to say on congressional record that the internet is dangerous for all children because you're going to try to use that to justify banning children from the internet"

How are politicians so dogshit it makes the literal bad guys of society seem repeatable and reasonable
