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 [email protected]

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

Holy shit c'mon. The regulators think "tobacco" is the neutral flavor that should be the only one allowed. By far worse than unflavored.

I can barely get snus online because "mint" is too attractive to children I guess.

Why cant a guy vape in peace.

I wanna know is why are all the "think of the children!" folks always thinking about children?? Seems kinda sus

Personally I think kids should vape more. Teen vaping is on a downward trend which I think is tragic. These kids are such dorks.

They pivot the anti-smoking ads to vaping, acting like its the same thing, and these losers eat it up.

I roll my eyes whenever some adult is complaining about teen sex/drinking/smoking. Those have all been on a downward trend over the last century. Beatniks in the 50s were doing more drugs than kids in the 70s. And those kids from the 70s had kids who did less of everything in the 90s and 2000s.

Today's kids are a bunch of fucking squares who always say no to drugs lmao

I mean, I'd go as far as to say you shouldn't be able to by tobacco products online at all. How is minimum age to purchase enforced?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I've seen sites where you have to upload a pic of your license/ID to a third party age verification system before you can complete the purchase.

Alright nevermind, I guess that's fine then.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 13 hours ago

Yeah that's the typical go-to. Only good reason for the photo-id verification on the internet imo.
