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 haven't traveled outside the US very much but when I was in China, I took a 2 hour domestic flight on Shenzhen Airlines and they served hot meals both ways for free with 2 or 3 choices of meal. I was impressed, I've never received that kind of service except on long international flights.

This was the hot teriyaki chicken, rice, and vegetables with a box containing a roll, banana, pickled vegetables, and candy.

I had to go to divided by zero to see the image, what the fuck is that site design

We removed in-line images from different instances on the first day of federation, after someone/people started spamming CSAM and gore in our threads.

I like it. Very anarchist colors.

You can change it to mostly usual colors though by changing the theme in settings to anything other than the default (ironically)

Sorry, I thought it would be embedded inline because I just used the Sync for Lemmy app to upload it but I guess it just hosts it on my home instance.

It's ok gamer there's no need to apologize

Hexbear automatically removes externally hosted images because trolls and wreckers would try to post gore and CSAM

I flew on Sichuan Airlines on my birthday and they gave me a handwritten birthday card.

The Chinese equivalent of "how are you" is "have you eaten yet?" I think there's a lot more emphasis on having a proper hot meal than in many other places.

You can even see that attitude reflected in government COVID supplies. In Japan the delivered supplies for people in quarantine were almost all instant processed foods. In China, lockdown supplies had tons of fresh vegetables and meats. Ironically, that made food deliveries more expensive and difficult but there was never any talk of replacing fresh food with processed food.

Whoa, hol up. Their governments cared about them?

Chinese domestic flights also have enough legroom
