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

The bazingas use the "you believe in souls" accusation to project their own woo because of their own fear of death, and sometimes even concern troll assume that I'm somehow invalidating the "perfect" copy's personhood in the thought experiment. I'm not. In fact, the belief that the copy is the original person denies the personhood of that new person in favor of whatever bazinga wanted to believe in the "upload" to begin with.

Also, regarding that death cult startup: memories are not the person. If someone loses some of their memories, are they now "less" of a person somehow? Again, the woo is on them.
