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

Your friend needs a life. Join a gym with her, start a running club, get her a Switch, get her obsessed with something besides social media.

Have you thought about play vibeo gameos so ur friend don't think abt her current country's destruction and immiseration of her natal country and possibly her growing self awareness that but for a few lucky breaks she would probably be on the business end of the extractive apparatus she currently benefits from?

Ironically, that recommendation of various forms of escapism is the opposite of "having a life".

Yeah, absolutely the pinnacle of r/neoliberalism to give advice about a friend who's obviously feeling a lot of stress about current events that amounts to "have you tried looking for ways to get her to stop talking about it?"
