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

seppo brainworms tbh, but have fun ig
"It's brainworms to make kids happy when kids in the local area are already doing the thing that the unwormed genius from a faraway land disapproves of"
I'm not. But if people in a local area are already doing it, like they are where I live, there's an option to not participate by leaving the front lights off for a few hours. No one would want your high and mighty speech about your righteous non-participation if you were here.
You're arguing that living in a place that has a tradition that makes kids happy, while I have no actual means or ability to leave, has some arbitrary ethical mandate for me to not make kids happy on one fun day a year where kids wear costumes and run around collecting candy because you disapprove of it?
The "invite" is just leaving the front light on, or decorating. You're being sanctimonious in a way that kids around here would find hilariously lame. They'd be fine not getting candy from you, but the speech is just... stop.
disengage
Getting tagged then immediately calling a timeout
Humanitarian pause
TIL, having fun by dressing up is a uniquely American tradition that nobody else in the world has ever done.
Americans invented giving away gifts and treats to the community. No one else was able to conceive this before 1845 in Wyoming
Are you seriously pedojacketing over giving out candy on halloween?
Wait until you hear about the white vans on the highways
What are you on about
for some posters, using yank as every possible part of speech is the purpose of posting and the context is irrelevant
What no grass does to a mf
No. I will not “just let people enjoy things” nor will I “just let people not enjoy things.”
If I can’t be happy then no one else can be. Suffer with me!
seppo?
abbreviated rhyming slang. seppo = septic tank = yank
