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

Guys, I think if we win in 2024 we can PUSH THIS GUY LEFT. His name is Timmy Blackstone Google, and he owns ten butlers, and a private helicopter. But at least he's a Democrat, right? We can't let those fascist right-wingers win next November, right?

Also, I love that Sachs Goldman led the impeachment trial against Trump. He is fine with inheriting a fortune based on extracting labor from children in sweatshops. But breaking the sacred traditions of democracy? Sir, that cheeto has gone too far!

What jeans aren't mid? I've found paying anywhere between 50 euros and 200 euros gives you pretty much the same quality. Is going beyond that worth it?

It can be but it can be really hard to sort it out especially in online retail today. Some brands will offer a quality that's cut above the rest but often as time goes on and the profit motive kicks in and/or they get bought out, they'll start cutting corners and start coasting on the name recognition. Also there's the question of where they are made/produced. If you go down the rabbit hole on this enough you will actually find Levi's are considered extremely right quality depending on where they come from and in fact there's entire groups devoted to keeping track of this info to help people find the good stuff.

Also it depends on what kind of qualities you're looking for in jeans. Personally I just stick with banana republic because they have a nice blend of fabrics that are fairly breathable and also hella stretchy. I work from home in the city so I don't really need jeans that can withstand the elements. I just need want to be comfortable and look nice.
