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

@[email protected] claiming that queer people are faking it is incredibly uncool and offensive. Stop doing it. You would not claim that a black man isn't really black because he says something you disagree with because you'd get knocked the hell out. Don't claim people's identities are fake because our politics are to the left of yours. You're literally just abusing other lgbt people with that sentiment by essentially stating "unless your politics align with mine I will deny you the right to your gender".

@[email protected] blahaj.zone did defend a transphobe, refusing to demod a person engaging in transphobia because they didn't want to rock the boat and lose the activity of that community definitely unsafe for trans people. They make decisions in favour of activity over trans safety. Being trans or having a shork aesthetic is literally irrelevant to whether they make good decisions for trans people, you wouldn't claim that Caitlyn Jenner is automatically safe for trans people by virtue of being trans, and if you would then you're an idiot because she'd sacrifice trans lives for her wealth any day of the week.

That's precisely what a Russian shill would say to try to obfuscate the issue. I would know, I learned about whataboutism and those tactics in my political science 101 class. I only had to take that class because its a required core elective for my STEMlord degree. So back the fuck off TANKIE!

Defending trans people thoroughly and in all cases is not "loser" behaviour to anyone except transphobes.

Nah.

Btw, I'm trying to figure out what I should do with my starter house. I want to sell it, but I also have a coworker looking for a cheap place to live while they save up to buy. They don't want to purchase it, but they were excited about the idea of renting for a year or two. I'm game because prices keep going up and I can sell it for more in a few years.

You guys all rent, so I was wondering: how much should I charge? Comparables around here are $900-1200/mo, but I don't want to screw the guy.

$600/mo for a 2 bed 1 bath sounds fair, right? That pretty much covers taxes and maintenance while it accrues value.

The city of Berlin is expropriating property from landlords across the entire city.

You think you're invincible, but the position on landlords will slowly mainstream elsewhere. Hope you're not too attached to your property.

Jesus, a transphobe, loser, and parasite.

Don't listen to these losers trying to keep us down. You and me are going to post out way out of this shithole lemmyverse. We're going to post ourselves off the internet and become real boys.
