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

Okay honestly though I’ve always thought it was kinda fucked up that people just read this poor little girl’s private diary

Literally nothing is safe from the Onion. It's literally America's Finest News Source (TM)

Lol the onion runs the same article every time a mass shooting happens. And these people are upset that they’re taking the most milquetoast shot at a guy with power and influence. 1 Zelensky is worth 500 mass shooting victims. I don’t make the rules.

If The Onion did the same thing but the article is about Putin saying “it was avoidable” after every brutal bombing of civilians, these people would genuinely think they’re pro-Putin and threaten to kill the writers

I'm honestly shocked it's still allowed considering more innocuous stuff is banned on here.

I was thinking of legitimate oids and found myself looking up celluloid and cellulose. Here's the medium for an art form that changed the world and its name still describes it as somewhat like something else. Then again, the something else is used in paper manufacturing and things written on paper have had impacts on human history as well, so the name actually became more apt when celluloid's utility in photography became apparent.

But I'd be OK with a ban on oid suffixes for people.

When did the libs start calling this a genocidal war exactly? Is it like recently or have I just been ignoring them

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

It started pretty early into the war after Ukraine accused Russia of massacring civilians. They also willfully misinterpret Russian propaganda, which questions the legitimacy of the Ukrainian state, as a genocidal threat. There’s also the thing about orphans in Russian occupied areas getting adopted by Russians.

I wonder how they reacted to this Onion article

Here’s the direct link to the Onion article if you don’t want to read the lib comments: https://www.theonion.com/zelensky-grabs-whatever-office-supplies-he-can-get-hand-1850861718
