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

Couldn't be worse this one. Can't believe it's real. Pelosi then made a speech about cooking dosa with Kamala Harris.

edit: I like that as of now there's almost as many comments on the post as there are upvotes, and yet there is no struggle session to be seen.

It's just that such a high number of people have had an absolutely guttural reaction of disgust that it needed to be put into words and shared.

I also think some people could simply not bring themselves to upvote such a psychically damaging image. Or they were turned to stone by it.

In the PRC, the most common profession in their highest governing body, the national people's congress, is engineer.

God I was about to type out a long reply to this, then I realized why I don't use twitter anymore.

Lol I am an engineer and this was a joke but also, not really. Lots of very strange people who are engineers
