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

You heard it here first: you should only fear the market once it becomes a bazinga-imperative robot god. Before then, lazy women keep the worst excesses of the market in check, which Grimes claims is a good if temporary thing... i think? morshupls

The copious amount of drugs and bazinga technobabble from being in melon-musk's inner circle is probably enough to thoroughly scramble a brain

I've linked about such things before, but there's an entire subsection of Silicon Valley's social structure that's designed around drugging and effectively reprogramming impressionable young women into asymmetrical sexual relationships with rich creepy men, often under the vague promise of money and access to the techbro boys' club.

CW: sexual abuse, mental abuse, emotional abuse

This is what happened to that Aella lady, right? Grew up in a religious cult, ended up in a secular cult as an adult?

Yeah, and she wasn't the only one.

Some never got out and just sort of carried all of the "math pet" brainworms and other creepy techbro indoctrination with them ever afterward.
