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

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 63 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Wtf they always let reactionaries roll them over while showing the strongest contempt towards leftists

[–] miz@hexbear.net 43 points 1 month ago

dictatorship of the bourgeoisie in a nutshell

[–] KoboldKomrade@hexbear.net 33 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Because they are reactionary themselves and/or do not actually care about anything.

[–] HamManBad@hexbear.net 23 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

They care about those juicy profits

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago

Because leftists don't have any cultural or polticial power, despite what the fascists in power say.

The very deliberate conflation of zionism and antisemitism by Zionist orgs in an attempt to defend their genocide has so much to answer for.

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 40 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Fuck you, Weather Channel!

I'll no longer be using you seldomly throughout the month to confirm what I already knew from looking out the window.

all u really need anyways is weather.gov (fixed link)

[–] TomBombadil@hexbear.net 24 points 1 month ago

It has all the data. It's the data almost all other weather prediction services use anyway. Weather.gov gang raise up. I love spending hours on there digging through historic data too. Of course usually that just makes me doomer since climate change is so apparent even in the basic data. But it's fun anyway

[–] hexthismess@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago

I am a huge fan of weather.gov. I can get all the data and forecasts I want without a single ad. All the other weather services use the same data, so there is no huge benefit to using anything else.

[–] Edie@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That doesn't work, it needs to be https://weather.gov in the ()

[–] Des@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

thanks. lemmy is really weird with copy/paste for some reason

[–] wtypstanaccount04@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

ah, glorious 2004 web design, how i miss thee

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

just use https://earth.nullschool.net/ instead of looking out of a window

I've never seen corporations so cucked.

The Overton window is rolling down a rightward slope while being shoved by suited corpos sprinting after it.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Always has been right wing. There is no window to shift.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I disagree that there's no spectrum of right-wingedness to measure getting perceptably worse.

Outright nazi takes that would have to be masked up and covered in "thought experiment" qualifiers only a few years ago are now mainline conversation in both major political parties now.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I guess I can see it from that perspective, but at the end of the day it's all right wing.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

Right wing can range from "asshole harassing neighbors with HOA enforcement" to nights with long knives and beyond.

[–] newacctidk@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Reagan had to tell israel off when they invaded Lebanon because it was so blatantly evil. I would say there has been a shift

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

Reagan is Khamas

[–] sweatersocialist@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

fuck the weather channel for caving to this fucking stupid made up bullshit.

[–] TheLastHero@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

excuse you, that's The Weather Company® and its consumer brand The Weather Channel™ to you

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 20 points 1 month ago

The dictionary should have this exchange under the definition for "spineless"

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 20 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Lmao, just start pretending any shit is antisemitic and then call out everyone from that

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 15 points 1 month ago

Yes Mr. ZionNazi. We didn't mean to offend the Nazis. Please donct remove our broadcasting liscense. Can't have the Diaper Force members in shit their pants on the subway now. Public health concern.

I'm sure links have been linked, but I'd like to get a solidarity keffiyeh, also they just look nice. I'd like the cool pro playtime black n white and if I were to get some where would be somewhere that my money is well spent? I'm a big fan of things that are like scarves
