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

I don't even want y'all to dunk on this, I just want to share this because it's so funny. no dunking if you can resist took-restraint

If you don't know what this website is btw, if HackerNews is Reddit for tech bros, then TeamBlind is 4chan for tech bros. Unfortunately very useful for career related information and specific company/tech industry information since everybody there is obsessed with climbing the job ladder

nerd immediately btfo by top reply:

The British Prime Minister Churchill killed at least 3x more people than Hitler, the British government killed more than 150 million people in India.

They're objectively worse, and yet you name your Halls, libraries, and children after him. 🧐

Hitler was rather inefficient, he routed people to the camps. The British were so efficient, they turned entire Indian states into their camp.

Hitler literally mad that the English achieved lebensraum first.

The apocryphal story about when Bush was told 2 Brazilian people were killed in 9/11

And he sits down in shock and asks how many a brazilian is

Eleventy-bajillion people killed and you question our methodology with mockery?

I'm guessing the atrocities of the CCP haven't been as well covered in media so many people are unaware.

My dude, have you seen media?

We were so busy watching the Chinese Balloon, we didn't even notice that everyone in Xinjiang was executed, resurrected, and then executed a second time.

Please point me to an 80M people genocide performed by the American government, I'll wait.

Never thought I'd see the day people thought The Black Book was lowballing its numbers.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The US has killed 20M people directly since WW2, so we could probably demonstrate 80M easily if we tried

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

they're also responsible for every single death that wouldn't have happened without their coups

not easy to calculate, but I'd imagine we could reach a few hundred million

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

USians need a law against denial of indigenous genocide. Every death since Europeans colonised native land has been part of it. It continues to this day. Or against trans people. Or immigrants at the southern border locked up in cages, separated from family, being forcibly sterilized. This smug asshole doesn’t care about people dying other than to drum up reason to enrich the military-industrial complex by going to war with sovereign nations they don’t like.

Would you work for Hitler?

We do this experiment every day and the answer is overwhelmingly "Yes, as long as the pay is competitive and the benefits are decent".

there is no such thing as a private Chinese company

Make up your fucking minds, would you? Has Communism Ever Been Tried or hasn't it?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

We do this experiment every day and the answer is overwhelmingly "Yes, as long as the pay is competitive and the benefits are decent".

That's a weirdly high bar. I usually see it as "is he hiring?"

I'm torn between uninstalling Tiktok for being a standard attention-span-killing novelty app, and keeping it installed because the app's existence pisses off the western techbro crowd.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m actually not allowed to have it installed on my phone if I’m staffed on a public sector project πŸ™„

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not even a personal phone not used for work?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

You can have it installed on your personal phone if you don’t access any work stuff on your phone.

I really need to have teams and email on my phone so I can chill in bed when I have nothing to do though.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My biggest problem with TikTok is that the channels I actually like don't produce a ton of content while the annoying cheapo content mill shit is an endless deluge I have to wade through in order to get what I'm here for.

Like all social media, over a long enough timeline its just "Oops! All ads!"

It's so good at what it does lol

I keep it because there's times I want to be not aware of existence and for time to pass quickly when sleeping/drugs aren't an option. Bam, three hours gone

Wish I could get into books as easily.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (8 children)

It is because you have access to tiktok and similar things it's so hard to get into books. I'm no better, but the instant and certain fun of a short video just beats out the long, potentially low fun you get from a book.

Pretty sure most if not all the guys in my high school class who took the hard math/science classes with easy English/social studies classes are now making six-figure salaries building bombs for weapons’ manufacturers.

My mom used to have a boss whose last name was Hittler (two "t"s). Got a lot of joke mileage out of it when I was a kid.

If you work for meta you’re supporting a genocide regime (unironically)

Ukrainian NATO man told me Hitler is le based, of course I would be honored to work for him (and by extension Chinazi)

It's a Korean company

Rest of the world is drastically behind America and Canada when it comes to UI/UX in my experience
