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

One of the biggest problems the military has is that too many kids fail the ASVAB, I GUESS thats what happens when you defund education to enrich the elites oops

or, you know, why take a test seriously that doesn't count for an actual grade?

[–] Mokey@hexbear.net 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

ASVAB is a military test they use to see what jobs youre qualified for and if you meet minimum standards

Yeah, I know, I've taken the test. It was mandatory in USA's public schools in the 90's. Probably still is.

You get nothing for taking a test if you don't plan on going into the military. It doesn't count as a grade for a class, you get no cash from the recruiter who brings the tests for each correct answer.

There's literally no reason to try to make a good grade on this test for the majority of people who aren't sitting in a recruiter's office unless you just like having your phone ring off the hook to tell the recruiters to go fuck themselves.

Fill in the dots, make a pretty picture and take a nap until time is called.

I dont think its mandatory unless your school makes it mandatory. I went to a shitty poor high school and we didnt do that, despite being there target audience
