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

Just to get it out of my system: To address Brutus directly, Caesar would have employed the vocative case, which would be “Brute”.
Your name changes based on tense? That's rude.
Nominative - Brutus got on his horse.
Genitive - He got on horse Bruti. ("He got on Brutus's horse" - look I don't know how to make that look right in English)
Dative - He gave the horse to Bruto.
Accusative - The horse bit Brutum.
Vocative - Brute, get on the horse.
Ablative - He stole the horse from Bruto.
Think that sucks? The plurals are Bruti, Brutorum, Brutis, Brutos, Bruti, and Brutis.
