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

My money says we're looking at the Unnamed GOP Staffers Complaining that They Can't Get Dates in DC in a Slate/Atlantic Human Interest Piece Class of 2033.

Instead of "resurfaced picture of senator in blackface" it's going to be "resurfaced clip of senator saying racial slurs in Xbox voice chat".

this looks like every group of white teenagers but in their dad's suits

although these are literal actual children so lets maybe tone in some of the commentry here

I know these are just kids but if my kids were doing this I'd be correctly investigated for abuse

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago

their dads are way fatter than that, the awful fit is because their suburban moms are convinced they're not done growing yet and tailoring is for ... theater kids

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

I am stauchly against bullying in schools except for these kids specifically.

I doubt any of these groups struggle with comprehending a level of zero.

Considering that the scientist that originally coined the concept of "alpha male" later regretted it and said the data was flawed because it was describing socially damaged wolves in brutal captivity and not a functioning wolf pack in the wild, them calling themselves "alpha" is like saying "is fine with their privileged place in a socially damaged and fucked up environment."

I mean, the picture shows what happens when you tell alienated permanently online boys they'll get status and a tradwife when they dress as if they're invited to Ben Shapiro's Bar Mitzvah and take standing lessons based on neon green lines drawn on celebrity photos, so the socially damaged captive wolves analogy is not that far off.

Even by their own "alpha chad" standards these guys are complete "betas" (they don't have strong jawlines, look shorter than 6ft, and don't seem very built/muscular/lean). How tf did they think this was a win?

No way "GOP Josh" isn't a bit account.

But either way I really hate the "blue suit red tie" thing. Like I get why it's the USA's political uniform but I wish we had something cool like a mao suit ranmao

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 years ago (2 children)

nah, it's not a bit account. white boys from wealthy families are just sincerely like this.

This is how the three-piece business suit dies.

Not with a bang, but with a bunch of wieners.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago

I'd normally make an edgy joke about how those wieners won't bang, but there's workarounds for the failsons of the political and economic ruling class. epsteingelion

And here I thought that I looked awkward in a suit.

And yet, I bet I could hold all five of them in a headlock at once and introduce them to the 5:09 northbound

Somebody get the lockers ready, I'm shoving each and every one of these children in them.

Does anyone know what causes the cheeks of the one in the grey suit to be flushed like that? When i was a kid i knew a couple guys who always had flushed cheeks same way but never noticed it on any adult. Is it something that is outgrown?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago

it's just rosacea, a lot of people have it.
