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

Why do libs always rush to defend abhorrent things with "🤓👆but achtually it's technically not illegal".
And in any case, according to the unanimous vote (sans US and Israel ofc) in the UN every year, the blockade is illegal and a violation of the UN Charter.
Stay in casa particulars (no hotels or resorts). Take a lot of euros or dollars with you. You can exchange the for pesos on the street for a much higher rate than at the bank. Save some of those euros/dollars for long taxi rides. Absolutely use express VPN if you intend to book buses using their viazul website. You won't be able to pay for your bus otherwise. First thing you do when you get there is try to acquire a sim card. I would advise doing it officially and not picking one up of a street vendor as 50% of the time you'll find the SIM gets cancelled.
Visit baracoa, viñales, Santa Clara, Santiago de Cuba, Trinidad, and Havana (both old Havana and the suburbs).
Drink a canchanchera. Go to all the local music halls you can. Drink a michelada. Smoke their cigarettes (Jesus they are good). Eat the seafood in baracoa. Dance. Try not to get too caught up in tourist traps. Talk to locals (learn more Spanish than I did). Have fun.
Thanks! I don't get very much time off unfortunately so I will only spend a week, so probably just Havana and surrounding areas. Perhaps a train or bus ride to Santa Clara is possible. But it would be an entire days travel to the east end of the island.
