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. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
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

MODERATORS
honestly new york city is one of the richest places in the world so this is hilarious. if anything it's sort of why NYC sucks now it's basically just all of the most annoying suburban upper middle class losers from everyone's high school living on top of eachother. I don't see the appeal it has for people other than "look pretty"
Mass transit
meh, philly and chicago basically have a similar amount of transit coverage per capita (im not being super scientific here but you get what I mean) and have real people living in them and not just software engineers that are too snubby for LA

for people that want to spend 30$ on bespoke chicken sandwiches
yeah, well what if i told you that chicken made $302,000 in dividends alone last month and fucked a different model every night? tastes like $30 now, doesn't it?
If you want to claim things about it, I suggest going there at some point or at least doing some actual research.
I've lived in cities adjacent to NYC my whole life and have visited it since 2013 and seen how it's transformed over the decades.
