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 sheer lack of curiosity toward so-called "artificial intelligence" here on hexbear

Definite what you mean by "curiosity." Is it also a "lack of curiosity" for people to dunk on and heckle NFT peddlers instead of entertaining their proposals?

is just as frustrating

Even at its extremes that I don't agree with myself, I disagree here. No, it is not just as frustrating.

No material analysis

Then bring some. Don't just say Hexbears suck because they're not "curious" enough about the treat printers.

is straight up reactionary

And hating on leftists in favor of your unspecified "curiosity" position is what exactly by comparison?

Are we just content to hand over a new means of production and information warfare to the technophile neo-feudalists of Silicon Valley with zero resistance

What does your "curiosity" propose that is actual resistance and not playing into their hands or even buying into the marketing hype?

I actually told my wife "watch this, I'm going to get a smug reply from UlyssesT," so thank you for not disappointing.

You made a smug post. Smug in, smug out.

I actually told my wife "watch this, I'm going to get a smug reply from UlyssesT,

Kind of weird to make me that important to you in your personal life, too. rent-free

Yeah, sharing what's happening on my phone with my wife is weird.

Yes it is if you're invoking the specific usernames of people you're seething about.

Normal behavior

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

I don't tell people IRL about my arguments online because I know that shit's boring to anyone except me

Good job, you recognize cause and effect

I want to hijack this opportunity to ask about pigeons. Are they soft and fluffy?

Hey, I’m just going to cuddle with it for a few hours. Hogging all the cuddles is bourgeois mao-aggro-shining

I heard pigeons cooing in a park once and now I want one deeper-sadness

Pigeons are often super friendly if you feed them
