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
polycule standup where everyone sits in a circle and has to say who they had their tongue in yesterday and who they’re having their tongue in today
we just, um, dumped the
person that tops in
that way, but now
you have been promoted!
you are now one
of my elite switches!
this sounds way better than actual standups
is that Anne Hathaway
haven't clinched a polyoff berth but am in the running for wild card
after a very mid-tier first date, I offered to make afternoon tea and dumplings at mine for a second date. they countered with a meet-the-entire-polycule / panel interview at theirs, complete with an outline of who would be hostile and who I needed to win over.
I withdrew my application, so to speak.
I don't even want to know why people are like this anymore.
Tech bros must be destroyed for society to advance
god yes.
how the fuck are the most insufferable people basically driving this "counter-cultural movement" that both is and isn't one
Less counter culture, so much as anti culture. They’re actively trying to devalue and replace culture (see ai) and replace human interaction and culture forming behaviour at every step with internet services and automated systems. It’s disgusting and alienating and they seem to like it?!
anti-culture.
i like it. i mean i hate it but i like the term it fits well
im in my third round of interviews for this polycule with great benefits and flexible hours. and its work from home!
Oh
Ah
Ugh
Just wanna live in a big house with people ~~I find cool and attractive~~ who'll play an entire Pathfinder adventure path with me
The dream.
this is something i so actively don't want to think about that i'm preferring to experience the pain in the hangnail on my thumb. do you understand how fucked up someone's post has to be to make me prefer to feel acute pain?
The husband who had to go to therapy and start taking antidepressants to deal with his wife's love life is really not making a good case for polyamory.

We're making acronyms!
To be fair to the hosts of Multiamory, it was a stupid source of inspiration but they renamed it to RADAR pretty quickly (I forget the acronym lol). A big part of the idea is scheduling regular check-ins with people so that you can discuss anything you need to in a format that's comfortable, instead of "hey, can we talk?" whenever something is wrong, or worse - bottling it up and holding grudges or bringing it out as ammo in an unrelated argument.
Their politics really aren't that bad - generally a vague libby anti-capitalist.
A lot of people are married and have primary partnerships. They’re coming to it from the opening of a monogamous relationship.
Oh boy this won't end well.
Rarely ends well unless both people were already interested
This wasn't as bad as I was expecting. The way some of them have their relationships set up seems decent, but the interviewees are filled with liberal brain worms. In typical NY Times fashion, they don't address the headline of the article and fail to actually do anything.
I think u nuked the link
what in the goddamn…
Death, as always, to Amerika. I can think of no other place on earth where this can happen
