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

There is no difference between posting and being president you imbecile. You fucking moron

[–] Wheaties@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago

that might be the case, given the two most recent people in office

being happy someone survived a deadly health crisis and is recovering is exactly the same thing as propping up a guy who cant remember where he was that morning to run the country with the largest nuclear stockpile on the planet, sure

Being a podcast host is the same thing as holding the nuclear codes, actually

Even in a shitpost he's trolling neoliberal dorks.

Let's compromise and make Joe host a podcast instead.

The will to post is too strong for Matt. He's been holding it in for too long. He needs the release.

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 28 points 2 years ago

Genuine invalid Matt Christman.

"It's a stutter!", fucker just never stutters when he's doing something incredibly evil.

One of those Rationalist™ dorks wrote a trillogy about a gestalt consciousness that developed out of computer network protocol. It only achieves sentience when a blind girl is given computer camera eyes. The biological signals of human vision, translated into machine code, allow it to see alongside her and work out what it is. Eventually, her parents find out she's been chatting with an "AI person". To test this stranger danger scenario, her father sends the bot a. m.e.s.s.a.g.e. w.r.i.t.t.e.n. l.i.k.e. t.h.i.s. When Mister Information Superhighway immediately responds back with "Syntax error, unable to parse", her father concludes that yes infact his daughter has achieved contact with higher consciousness.

Apparently twitter users are even less capable of parsing meaning from unusual grammatics.

Idk if the author is a rationalist, just a big fucking liberal.

Matt is still not well enough to be recorded talking to his friends for 1-1.5 hours straight twice a week. I don't think that speaks well of Brandon.

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

so true king

[–] ZWQbpkzl@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago

Now that Matt had a stroke, he's qualified to be a senator at least. Unfortunatly, he has a daughter so we have to preserve his humanity.

[–] Raebxeh@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago
