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

lol, imagine if they actually did it and suddenly nobody in the Pentagon could see, let alone translate, Russian messages.

That would be the embodiment of this.

And they do it by looking for a Cyrillic keyboard generally

[–] discontinuuity@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

It's not like any other languages use Cyrillic

Fact: the only person who uses Windows with Russian language settings is Vladimir Putin, and he can't read any other languages.

Hopefully he doesn’t allow auto update

I remember watching Oliver Stone's interviews with Putin from 3/4 years ago (I'd recommend watching them, v interesting) and you could see he had Windows XP with a picture of the Kremlin as his desktop background. In recent photos of him at his desk you can make out that he's still going strong on XP with the exact same background. :putin-wink:

He might be president, the official enemy of the west and an autocratic strongman but he's a boomer at heart.

“The people deserve it for having that government “
