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

The last few companies I've worked at would schedule one day a year to go do 'community service'. There would usually be way too many people to have most of them be utilized. And even then, most of charities we did stuff for were religious based (a couple times literally a higher-ups church).

The HR people would spend the whole day staging photos. Then they would use this one day to brag about how much they give back. They would also post this all over social media and on their website. I think most of them honestly believed that they were some great asset to the community because of this.

Local banks and businesses constantly donate to do-nothing charities which they themselves control and then brag about it in the local ~~real estate and car dealership advertisement bundles~~ newspapers even though every penny they give is tax-deductible.
