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

Why should we be the only ones not to profit from it ("pay-for-care") kombucha-disgust

The whole sub is just awful. They advocate for calling patients "clients" too.

Oh yeah and people give nurses stuff all the time. We've got chocolate, cards, I got a t shirt once. It's all lovely and appreciated. It is unethical to accept gifts over a certain dollar amount, I think $100. We usually redirect them to donate to the hospital foundation, or return precious items to family (like jewelry). Its normal human nature to want to show appreciation to people who cared for you and some people feel they can only show it by giving gifts.
