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 sure? I feel like this is really difficult unless somebody already like literally never goes outside and never opens their curtains for weeks at a time
I've gone like actual months without leaving the house and even this I couldn't handle. No privacy, obnoxious lighting that'll trigger a migraine in a heartbeat, no entertainment. Just sitting day after day staring at the wall because the stranger and you had a falling out on day 2.
I think it'd be harder alone, but with someone else there to talk to, that's easy. With a common goal, you could also hype each other up.
Though for 500k, that's lifechanging, I think could do it alone too. There's enough space and props in there to exercise and make my own fun.
Depends on what else is in there tbh. I gave myself photosensitivity after a few years not opening my curtains.
 
It would suck but this is also like 4+ years of income for most people. You'd have to drag me out of there lol
I'm just concerned the damage to your mental health wouldn't be worth it
Way harder to fix that than fix poor finances
I've struggled with depression for around a decade now and I can't even imagine that this would damage my mental health more than owning a house no one can take away from me would help it. I'm not the person you said "somebody who never goes outside and never opens their curtains for weeks at a time" I play a summer sport and a winter sport, go camping, exercise. 100 days is nothing and 250k (I read it as 500k each but still) is in fact 8 years of median income in the US or almost 7 in my state. That would put you more than 8 years ahead if spent smartly, that's 8 years pay up front
Being in a room with another person for a couple months cannot be near as painful as being micromanaged at work.
I'm not trying to "debate you" about your perspective, just sharing mine
