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

None of his "goods" (such as making NLRB not be completely hostile to workers) are enough to counter the fact that he is supporting a genocide.

The impact: A move to Schedule III would be the biggest change in U.S. drug policy in more than half a century. It would make marijuana much easier for researchers to study — which could give politicians and regulators a better idea of how best to write laws concerning cannabis.

yeah u.s. drug policy is just based on a big misunderstanding and surely some nerds testing it in a controlled environment will provide that much needed insight that will finally help us get it right. just one more linear regression, i promise, and that will fix the systemic racism.

Building armies of drones to counter China

The move: Biden’s Pentagon unveiled the Replicator program, an effort to build thousands of relatively cheap and quickly replaceable drones...

The upshot: Tech firms and lawmakers still want more specifics on how this is all supposed to work. But if things go as planned, the success of the program would be a major win for the White House...

there's actually no plan, but it'll definitely be a major feather in genocide joe's cap if anything ever comes of it

10 years from now the drones will be called the D-35 and they'll be enormous, cost 30 million dollars and full of complicated technology and will randomly crash or explode.
