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

Sword attacks were not the only possible application of this act. In a variation named tsuji-nage (辻投げ, "crossroads throwing"), the samurai would attack the passerby with jujutsu in order to test his own techniques or indulge in alive practice.[3] This must not be mistaken with tsuji-zumo, unsanctioned sumo bouts hosted in the street between willing participants.

Lots of people don't know this but before Unsanctioned Sumo changed their name - they had a few angry altercations in/near the clubs they played at. In the worst one - their lead guitarist got punched in the face by an irate guy who said "Where's the fucking sumo? I bought tickets to Unsanctioned Sumo Bouts and you're a fucking indie band?" The guy was wearing a big ring on his punching hand and the guitarist got a tooth cracked. The band changed their name the very next day.
