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

Same here, nostalgic for the times when I’d stay up all night playing N64 and eating pizza in my friend’s basement. But I also recognize I was a child so I had no responsibilities and not really any way to engage with the wider problems in the world, so of course it was all just a bowl of cherries.
I also later came to find out during that time my dad came into a bunch of money. I love my dad but I also know he doesn’t really have a lot of marketable skills. He lost his job just before coming into that money and I don’t think he’d be able to make much more than minimum wage but also support a family (the job he lost was a favor someone did him so he was making more than he would otherwise). Had that not happened I’m sure my childhood would be drastically different.
