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

chef's kiss levels of layered irony here.

A)The market distributing housing based on gambling instead of need is irrational

B) still believing TSLA will somehow redeem itself instead of continuing to slowly unravel like a cheap coat is irrational

C) preferring homelessness to losing investment positions already massively losing value is irrational, literally sunk cost fallacy, but HODL my dude ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿ’Ž๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿค‘

D) if we ignore the insane predatory distribution of housing as a moral issue and accept this bizzaro world distribution system as it is, YOU'RE THE MARKET ASSHOLE. THE ONLY REASON TSLA EVER GOT SO HIGH WAS BECAUSE OF IRRATIONAL MANIACS LIKE YOU ENDLESSLY PROPAGANDIZING MUSK, SOY FACING WHILE LICKING HIS BOOTS AND CONVINCING YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO SO THE SAME. YOU'RE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS THE MARKET ACTUALLY CORRECTING FOR A GODDAMN CHANGE, AND YOUR RESPONSE IS TO DOUBLE DOWN? YOU'RE GOING TO DIE. YOU'RE GOING TO DIE BEFORE THE MARKET WILL EVER BE RATIONAL, BECAUSE MARKETS DON'T MAKE RATIONAL DECISIONS, AND YOU'RE A MORTAL LITTLE SPECK OF EMBODIED HUMAN CAPITAL AND WHEN THE MACHINE HAS NO USE FOR YOU IT WILL DISCARD YOU WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT. BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD LINE MUST GO UP.

E) living in a Tesla is a terrible decision. You can buy a good minivan for less than $5000 Dollars and do a no build camper build in it for much better quality of life. Link for comrades who might genuinely need it--i know I might in the near future pain https://youtu.be/25VBk8AOqRQ?si=mfyXb8YfPP69ne6-

F) Living in your car is illegal in some states (cities?) because the homeless are basically America's domestic enemy #1; what's legal today could be illegal tomorrow with literal examples of it happening.

Yes--which is why "stealth camping" is a worthwhile thing to consider as you think about a camper van as an option. Buy a used all white cargo van for a start. Maybe slap some fake "business" logo on it for extra plausibility. You want the kind of thing that's not going to stand out in a quiet neighborhood or industrial park. That's just the start, though. Other tips include making sure light isn't visible from the outside so folks can't tell you're living in there, make sure once you're parked for the night you've got everything you need to sit tight so people don't see you going in and out, lots of tips like that for stealth camping.
