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 [email protected]

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

Sure maybe, but should there also be a chance for people who made a lot of mistakes in their lives (bad diet, smoking, lack of exercise, poor sleep) to change that?

The guy hits 4/4 on that one. I'm pretty sure it's either he got incredibly lucky or cycling is a a panacea to ail ills or something, biased towards the latter one for obvious reasons.

I like to think of anti-aging research as akin to the poverty alleviation that AES countries are doing right now. Of course it goes without saying that it should be freely available to all and not just the rich.

Tbf there is a lot of "anti-aging" reasearch and it all points towards "don't become a couch potato" which my dad expertly avoided doing. Millions of factors that should've gotten that guy in the hospice for one reason or another, lack of movement wasn't one of them.

That is to say, I'm well aware my da' being in great physical fitness at 45 because $reason is no indication for anything, but neither is being a psychopathic blood vampire to your own children
