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

How many dead children in Gaza does mark hammil want for the second term? wtf

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

A voice suddenly ~~appears~~ calls out to him "Luke... You must be told that The Force wants Gaza turned to glass..."

---

Ninja edit: A voice doesn't appear. But what verb is better? "Rings out" is so dorky. "Emerge" is a bit ponderous. "Arise" sounds like I'm trying to be poetic.

echoes

edit: possibly "calls" depending on feel

"Calls out" seems perfect. Somehow I just couldn't bring it to mind.

Luke would have voted for Darth Maul because at least he's 99% Hitler compared to Sidious who's 100% Hitler.

[–] Leon_Grotsky@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

Isn't Darth Maul more of a 50% Hitler?

Uncritical Support to Vader and the elimination of Alderaan! The Empire has a right to defend itself from terrorists! - Luke Skywalker, probably.

Can he read his own unhinged blue maga tweets in the joker voice?

[–] Angel@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

If I had to show the greatest example of lacking self-awareness with a single tweet:

Ok Mr. Hamill, you can stop acting like Fire Lord Ozai now. The show's over.

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

Oh no, Mark, no

This is a scathing critique of the US government.

Right?

Discovering that some nitter instances still work is bad for my sanity

oh no problem I'll be putting you on the invite list for our private instance when Poast goes down or starts poisoning everyone's responses on accounts they dislike, instead of just Vincent Cloutier's nitter-to-activitypub bridge

[–] radiofreeval@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

Judging as Poast is ran by Nazis it's probably intentional

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Some nitter instances still work

Which still work? The only one I know if is the Nazi site poast.org. I still use it because sometimes I want to see Twitter comments but of course I can't share the links at Hexbear.

[–] sloth@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

sometimes twiiit.com will work but it isn't always super current.
