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

This is what stopped me from going through with signing up when I was 18. The recruiters kept telling me more and more fanstical jobs I could be doing as the conversation went on until I just stopped believing them, and knowing they could just put me whereever and I wouldn't be able to leave for 4 years was very unappealing.
Side point: They made me take some computerized test in a back room and when I was finished that's when the stories got all fanciful. First they said I could be a nuclear engineer, then they said a cryptographer, then they said I could be in intelligence where I'd be writing the news that the networks run. Each time they had a different job the pay went up and up and up. Once they hit the intelligence thing writing the news and said I'd be making at least 100k I completely stopped believing them, though not that they don't have people writing the news, just that they'd pay some dipshit from the midwest $100k to do it.
