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
I'm so sick and tired of libs demanding that students juggle scholarship applications, working, studying, and fucking starving in order to get through college.
Y'know what? I don't think students should have to fucking work during school and it is fcked up that we've normalized grinding people into dust in order to achieve an education.
Oh, and fuck you if you have a learning disability and can't do both school and work. Guess it's poverty for you, buddy.
Who goes to college without working? Seriously.
My parents actually had a college fund for me that was enough that I only had to work summers, like in the boomer myths of old, though this was over a decade ago. That said I went to a pretty cheap local college.
my parents insisted I take loans and focus on school. I ended up working on campus for professors later in college but that was functionally part of my education. was immiserated for a long while after graduating until a good chunk got forgiven when my mom became completely disabled (they were technically in her name). not sure this is a smart path to go down - I really lucked out. loan payments on 100k+ was more than my rent because they were using my mom's income to calculate the payments.
