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 starting to see why America hasn't won a war in like 100 years.

It's pretty embarrassing when you starve your people just to have the world's most expensive army... only to constantly lose. Lmao.

The royal academy of the Spanish language has always been run by the most reactionary, petty and self-important aristocratic geezers, as the name suggests, and considering Spain's history, they're VERY reactionary, petty and self-important.

Not even they do this kinda bs. This is clown shoes.

Also, if it's the Ukrainian spelling shouldn't it be in cyrillic?

They’re preparing for the romanization of Ukrainian language so they can get rid of all ruzzian influenza

Not when its geared to a Western English-speaking audience.

I have to imagine that academy gets its knickers in a bunch frequently with regards to regional variants of Spanish in the Americas.

Or it reminds them of the good old colonial days.

they also might only care about how spanish is spoken in spain

is the implication supposed to be that Russia, the country, does not exist?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

that would be the real implication i suppose, but I'm sure it was intended just as disrespect
