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

MODERATORS
considering this is a thing exclusively a high schooler would say I fucking doubt it
Tons of older people say shit like this. Nothing they can do or say to impress or convince people. So they have to think of something to give them and their ideas relevance. Ideally something fixed that society likes. Of course they can't just learn and grow and change like everyone else. that'd be hard
What they think it means
"im wiser than you"
what it really means
"I've inhaled more lead than you"
I've worked some old paints and pewter figurines. Let this creaky Millennial at him.
My money's on a man whose emotional growth stopped around high school. They get really into seniority in lieu of growth
i'm beginning to realize a main aspect of the boomer mentality, which is divorced from actual age or generation, is an unwillingness to acknowledge that someone younger than you may be more informed. it's so silly. there are teenagers who are way smarter than me and that's just how the world is.
this is baffling to me because the curriculum gets updated over time so younger people ought to be better informed about matters they've been educated on than people who learned about it 20+ years ago.
