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

Therapy if you're upper middle class or richer is like like 10% learning coping mechanisms, 90% feeding your ego. Why are these guys so against it? Like it's basically a consumer product at this point, trust me it's not going to make you check your privilege or whatever you think happens at therapy.

I read some self help books recommended by a therapist, then I found out the authors were Ayn Rand rationalists, and one of them had an affair with Ayn Rand. They were helpful because I tend to be in my own head too much, but looking out into the world a lot of people deserve to hate themselves more than I hate myself.

It's easy to use self-esteem and self-actualization to justify pretty much anything you do to get ahead. Very little in those books is taking responsibility for shit things you've done, opposed to something like the 12 step program. Guilt/shame can be paralyzing if you feel too much of it, but Elon Musk deserves those feelings because he should completely change himself.

It's the modern version of Catholic confession, but instead of being rich, buying indulgences, and saying a few hail Marys, it's doing questionable philanthropy and learning to love yourself even though you're throwing kids into the orphan crushing machine

This is why I refuse to go no matter how many people say I'm "unstable" and "clearly in need of 'professional' help"

That and I'm a MAN (blues riff)

Yeah sure, as long as the gravestone happens in the near future.

Knowing Musk this is a brag about how he isn't a snowflake cuck that needs therapy and not an admission that he has issues.
