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

Afaik this is the brand of particularly obnoxious liberals who once had a empathetic thought, decided it was bad and wrong, and then go and write everywhere "i was once far left, but then i got defeated by the facts^TM^ and logic^TM^ and now i'm slightly right of Churchill".

Moralists don't really have beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded. Centrism isn't change -- not even incremental change. It is control. Over yourself and the world. Exercise it. Look up at the sky, at the dark shapes of Coalition airships hanging there. Ask yourself: is there something sinister in moralism? And then answer: no. God is in his heaven. Everything is normal on Earth.

Fun fact, on Linux using alt-graph you can get alternative symbols FROM EVERY KEY ON THE KEYBOARD. For example on the polish keyboard using alt-graph + shift + H you get •

Now I don't remember whether it was under T, but somewhere you should be able to get ™.

Also by using alt-graph with and without shift on ~ and 6 you should get logical math symbols. Useful for plaintext math notation.

Usually I don't remember where what is so I just go ham on the keyboard.

I wouldn't encourage anyone to use Windows but if you do then there's a handy little utility app called WinCompose which does this same function.

Virtually every symbol you could imagine comes intuitively and it's customisable if you can copy-paste extremely simple code to make your own command keys for typing a particular symbol, such as where a command isn't intuitive or you need very obscure symbols like a zero-width space.

Hopefully, i won't ever had to use ^TM^ so much to learn such things.

Sometimes you fat finger while typing and instead of a ł you get some other random character. That's how I found this feature and then I've tried like every key.

ahh but typing ^tm and having it rendered literally is part of the bit
