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

What's expected within the Buddhist community is that his lineage will probably"go to ground" for the foreseeable future, maybe for one incarnation or maybe a few.

While this isn't precedented for the Dalai Lama or the head of the Tibetan theocracy, there are high ranking Lamas such as the Tai Situpa who have had the recognition of their future reincarnations "banned" by the government (unsurprisingly, this was due to politicking from the then-Tibetan government and it served to benefit the Dalai Lama's sect) and so they've been recognised clandestinely.
