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
People basing their entire view of history on magazine adverts from the 50s like they're in some kind of post-apocalypse story, piecing together what the world that ended. They could just look stuff up because the world hasn't actually ended, but that's a cuck way of looking at things apparently.
It's just so dumb on so many levels.
One: uncritically accepting advertising as fact, despite exaggeration and puffery being standard practice
Two: flying was an outright luxury during that time. Only rich people and new "middle class" Americans were doing it, so airlines catered to that crowd. That's radically different from air travel today where most people have flown at least once in the past few years, and nearly half have flown once in the last year. If you're tailoring a service to 85% of the population instead of ~30% or less, it's clearly going to be different.
Three: if you want your fancy boy meals and two by two seating, you're welcome to buy a first class ticket for thousands of dollars. An approximation of this kind of service is available in first class today - these dipshits either don't realize that because they're completely unobservant and incurious, or, they're just looking for an excuse to hate women and minorities and think that SURELY they'd be able to afford it if we reintroduced segregation or something. Just downwardly economically mobile white guys blaming the proles they're forced to join instead of the bosses.
God I hate these people.
uncritically accepting advertising as fact, despite exaggeration and puffery being standard practice
In Communist North Korea, the impoverished masses are easily fooled by the ruling class' propaganda, which is laden with exaggeration and puffery depicting an idealized life wherein people readily consent to their own exploitation
I haven't traveled outside the US very much but when I was in China, I took a 2 hour domestic flight on Shenzhen Airlines and they served hot meals both ways for free with 2 or 3 choices of meal. I was impressed, I've never received that kind of service except on long international flights.
This was the hot teriyaki chicken, rice, and vegetables with a box containing a roll, banana, pickled vegetables, and candy.
I had to go to divided by zero to see the image, what the fuck is that site design
We removed in-line images from different instances on the first day of federation, after someone/people started spamming CSAM and gore in our threads.
ah
I like it. Very anarchist colors.
You can change it to mostly usual colors though by changing the theme in settings to anything other than the default (ironically)
Sorry, I thought it would be embedded inline because I just used the Sync for Lemmy app to upload it but I guess it just hosts it on my home instance.
It's ok gamer there's no need to apologize
Hexbear automatically removes externally hosted images because trolls and wreckers would try to post gore and CSAM
I flew on Sichuan Airlines on my birthday and they gave me a handwritten birthday card.
Chinese domestic flights also have enough legroom
The Chinese equivalent of "how are you" is "have you eaten yet?" I think there's a lot more emphasis on having a proper hot meal than in many other places.
You can even see that attitude reflected in government COVID supplies. In Japan the delivered supplies for people in quarantine were almost all instant processed foods. In China, lockdown supplies had tons of fresh vegetables and meats. Ironically, that made food deliveries more expensive and difficult but there was never any talk of replacing fresh food with processed food.
Whoa, hol up. Their governments cared about them?
Fascists when a complementary biscuit: 
Once again antisemitism is the fool's version of materialism. Could it be the never ending quest to extract evey iota of profit possible led to free meals being replaced with complimentary crackers? Or was it as this dumbass thinks and the secret Jewish cabal is taking away meals to further the great replacement or some other bigoted bullshit
This doesn't even resemble materialism.
This isn't "jewish bankers control the world and everyone is enslaved by them", this is "jewish space lasers control people's minds".
Pure magical thinking.
Oh God is that what "gock" is short for?!
Delta went woke 😔
and what is that Delta cookie thing, is that a giant cookie or is it a bread loaf or is it actually small but close to the camera and
looks like these are just regular cookies
edit: sorry, it's not a cookie, it's a "goyblock"
I like that they look like giant pills.
I took half a xan, 13 hours til I land
Had me out like a light, like a light
drake
It's literally just a regular sugar cookie
Hmm biscoff is way more than a suger cookie. Dunk it coffee and its magical.
I was going to comment, the delta cookies are quite good if you have a bit of coffee.
if you have a bit of coffee.
That's some crazy talk right there. I already had to sacrifice my wife and two children to afford to bring a bag with me. They'd probably want you to sign a contract for the next three generations of your family to be indentured servants to afford that cup of coffee...
The coffee is usually free?
It's a Belvita breakfast biscuit with their own private branding
The real reason airlines used to be like that is that there used to be stringent regulations on how many seats could be on a plane. That meant that there was a pretty consistent floor on how much airlines could lower prices and still turn a profit. Therefore, they competed on providing the best services and we're able to do that because there was leftover space to fucking cook a roast in the kitchen.
Deregulation prompted a race to the bottom for both prices and services because airlines could turn economy class into sardine cans and still make more money.
The Jews didn't do this, it was fucking Reagan.
Carter actually deregulated airlines first IIRC
The perspective makes it look like a fking giant cracker like the size of a serving tray
I wish, those things are great
We used to be a country. A proper country.
