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

This might just be a coincidence. CA is pretty strict with vanity plates.

14 88 To ME I dunno, it's in the nose, all his windows were tinted even the windshield

There was a twitter account a while back, I think it's on Mastodon now, that used to show all the vanity plate applications in California and on what basis they'd be denied. They were really strict, and good at finding hidden meanings people were trying to sneak by. I find it hard to believe they'd let this one through.

That's the dumbest secret handshake yet

1488 is a combination of two popular white supremacist numeric symbols. The first symbol is 14, which is shorthand for the "14 Words" slogan: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children." The second is 88, which stands for "Heil Hitler" (H being the 8th letter of the alphabet).

No, this is just a "commercial" plate, meaning a plate issued to a vehicle that is heavy enough to potentially be used commercially for transportation of goods, construction, etc. and is thus subject to yearly fees to cover the increased cost of road maintenance they incur. The numbers are random but it always goes five digits, then a letter and one more digit. I handle titles and shit all day while buying in vehicles.

As someone else pointed out, CA is super strict on vanity plates and a well-known fascist dogwhistle like this wouldn't get through. It's just randomly assigned by the state. So it's the state that is fascist. Which, you know, we already knew.

Also San Diego County, and all mostly rural counties. California passed Prop 187 (Anti-immigrant) and Prop 8 (Anti-LGBT)

This is definitely a coincidence

Edit: Maybe not? How often you California tags only have one letter?
