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

They can't even build the planes right without the cabins depressurizing the least of their worries is a woman pilot.

That was what I found so dumb about Elon talking about how the problem was how there's black pilots now.

What skilled pilot maneuvers should they have used to keep the fucking door from falling out because some bean counter decided properly tightening the bolts would cost Boeing $70 extra a month?

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wait the fuck did Elon say now?

[–] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Something about black pilot school graduates having a lower IQ and being incompetent. Typical racist shit

can we launch that turd into the sun already

Just let him live on Mars away from everything

[–] TrashGoblin@hexbear.net 27 points 2 years ago

I don't care about the flight crew, but if it's Boeing, I'm not going.

(jk, haven't been on a plane in at least a decade and can't foresee a situation when I'd expect to.)

because it's the libs of tiktok woman, i'm guessing this is a transvestigations quote tweet

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 25 points 2 years ago

I wonder what it's like having complete material comfort and having to invent shit to be mad about

I feel like we should CW this for Chia

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 19 points 2 years ago

The idea they could articulate let alone focus their outrage on one topic is hilarious.

They just get frothing mad whenever they see anybody that isn't a white guy.

[–] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago

this is one of the gender accomplishment things where i don't really understand why it's an accomplishment but it makes chuds mad so we should have a big party every time the schedule works out that way.

spoilerenduring sexism and earning wings is something to be proud of but flight attendant is a traditionally female profession so if anything i feel like that role still being so gendered is the opposite of an accomplishment

[–] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago

There's a third option of "one of these women is too clocky", but yeah I think it's the women pilots thing.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

They're mad there's no male flight attendants. It's like Marge Simpsons dad never existed.

if you have enough maxipads it cancels out the MANPADs

The mockery is a picture of people who will never let any part of his body touch any part of theirs

[–] MoreLikeHazBeen@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

The OP is the woman who runs libs of tiktok

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago

Then I don't know what her damage is, it reeked of incel rage

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

It seems weird to me that "women can't fly" would even be a thing, but of course it is.

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Fully simulacra-pilled, it would take years of immersion in the online right wing fever swamps to have any clue what she's talking about.

[–] Palacegalleryratio@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

I’m going to guess that they think at least one of those women is trans, and that because they are idiots they would think that would be bad.
