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

Robert Moses would totally move buildings if it meant 7 lanes streets.

Most of the people who demand what is essentially a car mandate are always fucking slow drivers.

If they're so unimportant, so boring that they can spend the days twiddling their thumbs in constant traffic jams. Fine. But why are they unable to enjoy their boring 'hobby' without forcing EVERYONE to participate? Urbanists support walking, biking, trains, monorails, lightrails, buses, all sorts of choices in how you get around and it's all leagues more aesthetically pleasing than spending hours on end in bumper to bumper traffic because hollywood said "carz gotz duh freedumz!"

I'll admit that I like the look on the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio, but even that will lose it's appeal real fast when I'm stuck in bumper to bumper traffic.

being a "I respect their lifestyle but they need to stop shoving it in everyone's face! 😤" guy but for driving

We can't keep letting these urban planners think that more lanes are gonna solve the problem.
