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

My brother-in-law (who is Gen X) wanted to charge my nephew (his stepson) rent when my nephew graduated high school. My nephew's grandfather told my BIL "Nephew is whose name is on the house in the will. Yours is not." Also had to remind him his kids were probably taking up more resources since they were under 16 and not working.
Of course my BIL got married to my sister, had them move out to a farm, and got his name on her will instead of her other relatives, like her son. I didn't go to their wedding for other reasons, but the brainworms run deep among Mayonnaise-Americans.
Some people are beyond shitty, I hope your sister finds someone better
[x] Doubt because my sister has gotten more reactionary as she's gotten older.
I blew up on her one day when she was calling George Floyd a criminal and shouldn't have flags flown at half-staff in his honor. Honestly not sure if I'll want to maintain a relationship with her when our mom passes away (whenever that may be).
