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

in evil communist china, you can usually just walk to the subway because a stop is within a 10 minutes walk of basically any condo

its almost like they... planned things

Americans don't wanna walk ten minutes though lol

Americans don't know what's good for them. You gotta force them to do good things and then they'll change their mind. Yeah, it's authoritarian. animengels

Stupid sexy communists

Much rather sit for an hour being traffic and screaming inside their boxes at all the other fuckers being traffic with them

honestly, maybe im old as fuck, but a very short walk outside even in extreme heat feels great on my bones and is refreshing.

Honestly I'm a large guy, I totally get it. That's what skybridges and underground cities are for!

And many many more! Sure they can be a little sterile and many are public-private partnerships disgost but they can be a great tool in fighting some of the effects of climate change I think.

walking is boring af and takes far too long to get anywhere. fuck 15 minute cities give me a 1 minute city.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So just like a city in one building? I love mixed use zoning let’s do it

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

yaah i'd fuck with an arcology, sure.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 year ago

yeah obviously they should build the cities shitty and then later maybe consider rebuilding them good but actually do nothing because nimbys would complain

Meanwhile, I can't even walk to the exit of my hellhole suburbs in 10 minutes agony-deep

In evil capitalist amerikkka you can find the same in dozens of cities, because civil engineers and planning commisions are things that exist.

Woah, dozens of cities in one of the largest countries on the planet? Incredible! How does LA fair in that respect?
