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 [email protected]

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

His mouth didn't look like it was frothing to me. This seems to be an unneeded word in your post title and is wrong.

Do you not know metaphors, analogues or similes? It's a reference to this frothingfash
Pedantry is for children.

I assumed op was being sarcastic.

I think Hexbears have an automatic negative reaction to anyone with an @ in their name, leading them to assuming the worst.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Honestly, yeah*.

  • I had bad insomnia last night and I'm not used to that so I'm grumpy today.

We all get grumpy too and that's cool and ok. Happens.

I love all our comrades. I'm just a little jumpy cause of all the stuff that's been coming into mod logs lately.

I mean after 5 more days I would say the user does not seem to be a good commenter. Might be ND, but doesn't really vibe currently. Might change in time, the last comment https://hexbear.net/comment/3927591 does show that, too.

lmao I hate being naive and trying to see the best in everything

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It could be one of your better qualities?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Maybe? I don't want to change it because it doesn't hurt to get these situations wrong but it does hurt when they're good people.

This reminds me of that recent thread about bits and bit detection and the burden of catching bits. debord-tired

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You're talking of my request for the bit clarification rule? Or another thread?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think that was the one, if it was the one about bits and the trouble of identifying them.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah that was the one.

wojak-nooo

His mouth didn't look like it was frothing to me.

You need to work on your perception, Sneed, there was a fountain of diarrhea erupting from his soy mouth all over the microphone throughout the clip.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You're right. In every sense except the most literal textbook definition, he was frothing. So he wasn't frothing.

They're not nazis unless they wear an armband, speak German, and were part of the National Socialist Party of Germany from the 1920s to the 1940s morshupls
