i get why people are nostalgic for the american landscape 40 years ago. it definitely had some stupid shit and people are certainly confused about what their nostalgia is really for, but in some ways its like most of the US was carpeted with neutron bombs and we're living in the sparse ruins and scavenged detritus of a mostly forgotten machine that was once buzzing with people loitering and hanging out.

damn, that's good. the absence of ANY FUCKING THIRD PLACES AT ALL (besides like bars) is pretty fucked up. I hate it here but I have nowhere else to go and I don't know where it's any different that I could afford to live.

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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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
