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

They're mostly getting dunked on, but they're wriggling around all over the thread raging about science being made "political."

Then what were you saying? Take a stand instead of shuffling around holding the goalposts until you appear like the superior one in the room.

Emergent behaviours emerge from simple observations, the existence of exceptions to an observation isn’t a statement about the emergent behaviour of the population

Your straw manning isn’t me moving goalposts, if you feel the need to resort to name calling in a discussion, it’s probably worth taking a step back from the monitor for a few minutes

I don't think it's possible to deliver that in a more condescending and Reddity way while providing less explanation of where you actually stand.

Your masturbatory sense of inflated self-regard would make you plenty of fairweather friends in a lower division STEM class, but otherwise all I see is a "nuh uh."

All I see is glasses-on

I believe that FEEEEEMALES statistically select for conveniently helpmeet roles in a way that makes exceptions and different cultures irrelevant because biotruths, and I do it in a plausibly deniable way that doesn't sound like misogyny, bucko. up-yours-woke-moralists

it’s probably worth taking a step back from the monitor for a few minutes

You first, and take your fedora with you after tipping it.

Wow. I hope you find whatever you’re searching for in life, it isn’t here
