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

Consider the following: no one should devote their entire life to pool. It's an asinine waste of resources

Lol, a semi-uncharitable reading of your comment would just be "don't have hobbies, or fun".

Why not devote your life to pool, or any other sport? Seems a lot less of a waste than, like, golf.

[–] GreenTeaRedFlag@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

how? Golf and pool are at the same level, not skills which apply to other areas, not useful to society, and not in this case creating community. Pool can be a hobby, but a complaint that anyone can't make a living off of it is absurd.

One giant difference between pool and golf (I'm putting off work by posting to hexbear and now you have to suffer my nitpicking, I'm so sorry) is that golf is a massive waste of water and land, water and land that could be a dope ass park or wildlife preserve or literally anything other than a golf course. But pool is just an overly expensive (and heavy) table, a few balls, and a couple of sticks.

Pool is way better than golf, is what I'm saying.

That's fair and I agree with it, but in terms of career path they are identical.

You shouldn’t have professional hobbies according to Marxist theory, luxuries are bad.
