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

My grandma survived cancer 3 times (different cancers: breast, skin and ovarian) and lived to be 97. She got radiation treatment for the skin cancer at ~85. You would be surprised how long people can live and how much they can cling to life with adequate medical support. When she got cancer the 3rd time at 95 she just got meds to slow it and deal with symptoms but didn't bother with chemo or radiation, but if she was 75 she would have 22 more years of lie.
Yeah that's fair. Both my grandma and grandpa declined fast at like 80, so for me I never saw much appeal living that long. But I just remembered my great grandpa lived to 93 and in pretty good health mentally and physically till like 89 or so, so idk.
