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
Remember, it’s the queer people who are cringe.
Website won’t let me upload the second screenshot, I will put it in a comment if I can.
What if I told you women aren't all social butterflies with an emotional support network?
What if I told you a lot of us have extreme trust issues created by abuse at the hands of men that cause us to recede into ourselves and avoid social relationships?
It's fucking lonely sometimes. But sure, women have no problems. It's not like we had to fight tooth and nail to get basic rights which are still being taken away every chance chuds get.
I can't hear you over the manic pixie dream girl I'm constantly projecting over my perception of you
What if I told you that men do this to each other and they can stop at any time.
Wow, women sound like they have a pretty good deal. Maybe one could live as a woman, right?
Inland Empire: "People need to know of your vast, oceanic soul."
That Dude: "My soul is immense."
Inland Empire: "Utterly. And it needs to be heard. Through a hate forum. By other people."
"Being born with a dick makes you impossibly smart and noble, but also, it's like hard to be that smart and noble"
Nothing more smart and noble than dedicating years to stalking trans people in the hopes of getting them to kill themselves. :galaxy-brain:
Btw dude, I've got a trilogy of sci-fi novels from a certain author that frequents Hexbear arriving at my house tomorrow
I hope they're worth your time. :sweat:
Who told you about my book? I'll have you know "Wage, Labor, and Snacks" is nonfiction.
Everyone has periods when they feel alienated and utterly alone, scorned by the world etc. Etc.
When I was a teenager the answer seemed to be to goth up, smoke very bad hash in the graveyard and drink snakebites.
Actually thinking about it, a lot of the goths at my school were girls so I dunno where the fuck the idea its only men who can feel like this comes from.
Women generally have more emotionally engaged friendships and support networks because stoicism isn't encouraged as much.
It's also that generally neither men nor women are taught to care about the mental health or social connection of men. Men generally can't get emotional support from women, either. Women won't extend that kind of intimacy and often actively derride the need for it. To get that kind of emotional support and intimacy as a men you almost have to find some kind of counter-culture group where people have put the work in to untangle their role in patriarchy and the expectations placed on them by patriarchy.
Speaking from personal experience. I'm drowning in isolation and lonliness but I can't seem to communicate that to any of my friends. No one ever asks how I'm feeling even though all my social media posts and communications for the last few years have been screaming in pain. It sucks.
Man, I can't even dunk, this is just so sad. Don't self-mutilate your psyche, folks, don't romanticize this incredibly liberal conception of a man as an island and instead embrace the people who love you and tell them that you love them back. :heart-sickle:

I would like to, but really the only person/people that I can think of that are included there are my sister, her kids, and my granddad. I don't see any of them much, I'm probably gonna see less of them when I get to moving out, and one of them isn't gonna be around for very much longer.
And also, with regards to like emotional support, there's not a whole lot I can realistically ask of any of those parties myself.
ah yes gendered solipsism
I maybe should have clarified that this was in response to the other dorks/fascists asking why trans people would want to be women if they aren’t going to be hotties.
Like they literally think that women can’t experience loneliness or existential dread.
yeah they seem to not believe women have inner lives
Why do these 4chan diaspora types always talk like this? Ceaselessly prattling on about this supposed great spiritual strife that ( western) men go through? They all use this highly dramatic and flowery prose that I guess its supposed to sound inspirational but they always end up sounding like a villain from a fucking Marvel movie. It's so corny!
This guy used an awful lot of words just to say "I and everyone else on this trash board are incapable of acting like normal human beings, so I have to retreat to my safe space so I can make fun of trans people on an anonymous forum."

It's also very common to talk that way in capital-R "Rationalist" circles. It's been called "Dying Wizard" format.
This is why Ignatius J. Reilly is the perfect embodiment of :reddit-logo: and Chan-types, just the most solipsistic, arrogant, alienated people on this planet, getting completely psychically destroyed over toys and treats changing slightly, violently hating anyone that don't want to play along with their nihilistic delusions of grandeur. Gifted children that thought that meant they wouldn't have to grow at all.
If Confederacy of Dunces was written decades later, Ignatius J. Reilly would go on and on about szechuan sauce. :pickle-liz:
absolutely. "Well, you see, it's about ethics in game journalism, not that I would expect you dimwitted cretins to understand that"
"Between notes, he had contemplated means of destroying Myrna Minkoff. His most promising scheme had involved getting a book on munitions from the library, constructing a bomb, and mailing it in plain paper to Myrna. Then he remembered that his library card had been revoked.”

Stop staring at the sun bro I'm begging you
There's a bright green (and definitely strong enough to give you eye damage) laser-light sensor on one of the fan-balancer machines at my job. I think I remember my boss pointing it out to me & told me not to look at it when I started; but you're not really ever supposed to be able to see it anyways, cause it faces directly up towards the ceiling & normally you have a part directly overtop of it anyways.
So anyways I looked at the laser-light the other day when I was trying to clean the machine. :cri:
