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 a fucking nerd

"those corporations earned the right to throw out that merchandise for nothing!"

"you can't deface public billboards like that, it's ILLEGAL"

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You are giving a bad name to nerds by comparing them to this absolute fuckwad

[–] [email protected] 65 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah, I remember being a LIB

My buddy would swipe fast food cups from the food court and get "refills" all the time. The speed with which I would jump embarrasses me these days. Doing graffiti and consequently getting arrested truly was a character building exercise.

[–] [email protected] 62 points 1 year ago

YTA and she should leave you for someone that will go graffiti billboards with her.

This post is 5 years old, not sure why we are dumpster diving for lib takes on reddit-logo . It's not like there's any shortage of it on the front page.

It's also most likely fake given it's the only post on the account

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

yeah, does this post meet rule 8? (genuinely curious)

Babe do you want BASED on your tombstone?

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 year ago

i'm anxiety brained too and telling someone "just don't tell me when you're gonna do it" would NOT calm me; despite being a sniveling dork i would probably just go with her to make sure she's safe

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Don't tell me where you do your dangerously hobby, so if you have an accident and don't come home I have no idea where to look for you.

How do I find a girlfriend who's that cool? sicko-wistful

...he's stressed out, so he goes online and DRAWS ATTENTION TO THE ILLEGAL STUFF in a way that would make it easier to profile and arrest her

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ummm how do you find someone like that cri

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

minecraft your local 'pro-life' billboard during the twilight of a New Moon? You might bump into your future partner in an act of surreptitious serendipity!

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

Dana does mildly illegal things, and Prismatickk9 is a major dork

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago

She deserves someone better than a whiny redditor

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

BREAKING THE LAW, BREAKING THE LAW

You might get hit with some public service if caught for graffiti, but trespassing abandoned property or dumpster diving generally comes with the consequence of being told to leave if caught, assuming she's white.

Does she have a sister? 🥺👉👈

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

I'd worry for her safety a bit, but the legality? She's not hurting anyone, fucking nerd.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

She sounds amazing, this dude needs to join in with her activities

She sounds cool, but it's okay for him to be a square (just not a "pro-life" square). Goodness knows dating an activist can be a stressor.

I've got 3 partners already but for someone this rad I can make space for one more send her my way

Treating women like moving talking wombs is kinda bad, but I draw the line at graffiti margot-disgust

Also make sure to vote extra hard this year to make the fascists go away

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

someone tell her to dump this prick and come hang out with us

Man finds insanely cool GF and realizes he can't handle someone that awesome.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

She should break up with him for being so lame

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

this reads like a parody which means it's real

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

This does violate rule 8 which is my first time learning about it. I'll do better next time 🥺👉👈

I mean, I get it, you don't want people you love getting nabbed by the feral-hog pigs. This is lame nerd shit, but I've been anxious when my partners are doing cool stuff, and vice versa.

Seems harmless enough. There’s room for injury here but that can happen every time you get into a vehicle. Safer than a Boeing right now anyway.

Way back in college, 90s, a graduating class or two ahead of me, there was a Guerrilla Theatre of the Absurd. At a time when Martin Luther King Jr Blvd was forever in the poorest most dangerous part of a city (see: Chris Rock, for more detail), they spearheaded a campaign where they redecorated the city overnight by artfully changing all road signs, including freeway signs, to change the main road downtown to MLK Blvd instead. The freeway signs looked legit, reflective paint and everything. Spearhead of the act “of vandalism”was unofficially slipped cash by the dean of the college as a graduation gift, not reprimanded.

Well done activism isn’t a bad thing. Maybe she’s practicing up. And recycling is usually a good thing.

I’m not seeing anyone getting hurt here, so, whatever. High odds these two break up.

So many dweebs to shove into gym lockers, so little time.
