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

Real estate industry: Increase price on housing so that young adults can't afford to buy/rent places with an extra roomporky-happy

The duplex I rent doesn't even have closets.

My house literally has five rooms

Kitchen, living room, laundry room, bathroom and bedroom

So, eat my shit and hair is what I'm getting at

[–] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You have a laundry room? Well, well, well, if it isn't Farncible P. Moneybags

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago

Right!? Lookit at them with their, "I don't walk two miles with my hiking backpack full of clothes to the laundromat." Must be nice, kulak

[–] [email protected] 26 points 10 months ago

even on someone’s floor once, but we don’t talk about that

Hmmmmmm eat shit maybe?

I thought the Era of "how millennials killed x" was dead. I'm fucking sorry that I don't make enough money to partake in the same fucking treats as my parents did.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Most of them are just Ctrl+f replace "Millennials" -> "Zoomers" now

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

That's what I always expected to happen

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

People like these are so threatened by those around them that they'll shame poor people for being poor as it doesn't conform to their worldview.

How ~~millennials~~ the lack of affordable housing killed the guest room. Fixed the headline

[–] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago

Man, my house is less than half theirs in size. Costs more than double but you keep calling me out for doing stuff.

All i'm doing is trying to not become a full time working homeless man.

"As the national housing crisis continues, more and more people are leaving behind the idea of reserving an extra room for guests."

How rude of us for not getting our priorities right during a literal crisis.

My guest room is my bedroom floor and a blanket.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

guests? like a room mate or what? if you wanna room you're paying rent, just sayin

[–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I had a disagreement with my partner about this. We were finally able to move into a place with a little more room and they wanted to reserve a whole ass room for “guests” and I’m like “no one has stayed with us in like eight years.”

Neither of us won, so there’s an unusable room because there’s a mattress shoved in the corner and I can’t use the rowing machine because there’s no room.

Murphy bed or foldout couch in the office/home gym?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I wish I could afford a Murphy bed. They’re much more expensive than just our old mattress and box spring lol, and also I always feel wasteful throwing away a mattress

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

I’ve listed it online before and no one wants it. It’s been in plastic for years!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

i just hope they aren't actually paying people to write these and it's getting outsourced to chatGPT by now. imagine the bourgeoise ennui of the poor wretch who wakes up every day and has to write another "m'leminals are roonin X"

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

I wish I had a guest room. It would have been viable to keep seclude myself in the past when I got the old RoRo.

Murphy beds in the living room baby

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

I had a Futon, a recliner, a couch, and a big comfy chair. Would easily sleep 6-8 people in my 900sqft apartment.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

Guest implies a temporary stay, they're housemates now. This... this is their home.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

Why would millennials do this?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I've been in offices more comfortable than that "guest room" in the article.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

This is like a Kelly comic but unironically
