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

Surprised I've not seen any cyberpunk stuff talk about software suites for emotional masking. Be sweet and pleasant to everyone you want. Rant in your head about how much you hate them and all that comes out is a warm "have a nice day"

I'm surprised too, but I don't think I could ever trust any software that pinky promises to change my words lol.

Because you know some rich exec would have some kind of exclusive pass to see the original message, and then I would be called in to the office to discuss my email of "get fucked get fucked get fucked".

Thinking this through for a million years would mean that there is an evolutionary pressure to fake smiles. At some point humans and smileys will become inseparable.

There already is an evolutionary pressure to fake smiles. People treat you like absolute shit if you don't fake smile in the appropriate situation.

I would argue that culture means that these evolutionary pressures don't have the force they'd have in a machine AI dominated world in which human culture is subordinate to algorithms and capitalist ownership of things. My version was for a more dystopic future vision.
