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

Engineering majors need like 4 years of pure humanities classes to fix what's wrong in their mind. This whole thread is so cruel to op.

Start playing a very niche sport and get competitive. Racket ball, pole vaulting, sailing, golf, fencing, squash, crew, waterpolo, and lacrosse. Even unofficial sports can help you at some schools pickle ball, rugby, etc. Unfortunately many are very expensive but you may be able to get into the US on a D2 scholarship.

Because the only way a Black student can succeed is by playing sports?

JUST become a high level competitor in a sport! It's not that hard!

"Hey young refugee child running themselves ragged to become an engineer! how about you try out a sport!"

I'm not shocked that someone posting on an engineering subreddit knows nothing about sports, but lmao if you think pole vaulting or golf aren't extremely competitive.

Tbf over half of the sports listed are the bougiest, crackerist of sports. I mean golf? Sailing? Lacrosse? Rich people shit.
