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

When I worked the front desk at a gym, my primary job was keeping out people who weren't supposed to be there. Does that make me a cop?

Unless your company didn’t care about liability and had you physically barring people, your job was to call the cops lol.

Security guards are the ones responding to your call if they’re on site, and many are required to be physical if anything happens, although a lot of places will also have them just call cops if they’re unarmed. So being a security guard proper is closer to being a cop than you threatening to call the cops if some disruptive guy trespasses.

But to call anyone remotely involved with security or reporting a cop is pretty funny. The teenage cashier at Walmart is a cop because his manager tells him to check people’s receipts and report any theft lol.

That is also the job of the vast majority of security guards who encounter something dangerous or illegal.

Yes I know

although a lot of places will also have them just call cops if they’re unarmed.
