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

Taking a hardline approach to prescriptivism is the language equivalent of feeling very strongly about one specific year of pop culture and wanting to hit the brakes on the march of time and keep resurrecting, say, Pump Up The Jam.

Women tend to use emojis more, so redditors and by extension lemmitors hate emojis

Check out the logiclords in that thread; yeah I think you're right.

If you go into the rest of that thread, a number of euphoric Redditor-tier insufferable nerds showed up to go berdly-actually about punctuation omissions, too. berdly-smug

Sarcasm is very hard to convey with just text. Emojis help fix that.

Are they trying to make themselves feel superior to us since we use lots of emojis?

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

Um... I hate to tell you this, but honestly, let's be honest, it's almost as if the only way to be a Peak Human is to be cromulent with your vocabulary, using ten words when would would do, and to fill your bloviations with visceral trendy words that get Reddit-popular among the very smart people that like logic, reason, facts, and other things that are exclusive to their specific secret club. I'm sorry if that hurts your delicate fee fees. Who hurt you? smuglord
