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

They're going to ban Ozempic for purely capitalist reasons aren't they. I guess we're about to see who is more powerful, the pharma industry or the agriculture industry. The agriculture industry is going to have allies in the entire fast food industry as well here so I have to imagine they're going to be the winners

What a profoundly stupid country this is

This would be really funny. I mean they let COVID spread rampantly for capitalist reasons so I don’t see why obesity curbs would be any different.

they'll do it as a moral panic type thing. play up the side effects and shame fat people for not being able to eat less.
