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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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

I checked the r/neoliberal redditor's history. it's like they are doing a bit.

In another thread - somebody asked for advice because they were having disagreements with their mother about taking vacation to Iceland together. The redditor's reply includes words like "rapprochement" which I guess makes sense if you look at your mother not a person who loves you but like a country that has no friends - only interests.

Disingenuously attending a vacation is part of the problem. You should be going on a vacation out of your own volition, because you want to. To do otherwise, under false and resentful pretenses, isn’t fair to you or to your mother, and is only exacerbating the problem at hand.

You should have fixed the problem and wiped the slate clean before you scheduled any vacation. Tiptoeing around real rapprochement and reckoning is only a temporary false band aid. You should be striving, especially with people close to you, to have authentic relationships. Even if this vacation miraculously makes you closer to your mother and fortifies the relationship, it has set an unhealthy precedent for dealing with conflicts in the future.

As far as evaluating your boundaries that’s kind of impossible for anyone judge without knowing the specific original problem, i.e., the reason for the boundaries in the first place.
