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

As someone who rents from family, they can totally be fucking scumbags about it.
At least from my anecdotal experience (lived at different times with separate parents and both sets of grandparents after turning 18) I think most people who would expect rent from their kids would be total scumbags and likely burger-brained.
The only one who asked for it, also conveniently kicked me out once for a short time on a misunderstanding (thought I was lying about having a job- or at least that's the claim, nowadays I don't know if that was just part of the plan- uh, typical narcissist stuff). They'd also always threaten to refuse the rent (and boot me out) if I didn't go to church, etc... and of course transitioning was a no-go. Talked to them about it much later (nowadays we're NC) and they said they had never even considered that it could be rental abuse... they're still a shithead but at least I don't think they're charging my siblings rent now
we must imagine Artemis happy
Thanks
it honestly is really nice to receive a message like that I wasn't expecting 
I started using this name after somewhat of a complete breakdown, but that's a few years ago now if it helps :> still usually sad but it gets better, lately been socializing more so that's a plus.
