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'm not entirely opposed to capping gifting, it's one of the ways the rich get around inheritance laws and such.

Over here, your welfare is dependent on your partner not earning too much. So, for disabled people you're at much higher risk of abuse being trapped in a relationship, have lower independence, and anyone entering a relationship with you has to take on a financial burden.

Yup same here on that too. Also spouses income impacts your rights. So a lot of domestic abuse or exploitation gets hidden when people (often women) have no personal income and are at home with a spouse who earns so much they don't qualify for the basic income to even theoretically fund getting away, not that it would be enough for that.
