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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
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

MODERATORS
There might literally not be one single person on the planet less qualified to speak to the issue of "reasonable spending" than the guy who spent $44 billion dollars to make everybody hate Twitter.
He also took billions in government subsidies and ordered the construction of a car tunnel with LED lights and zero safety measures. That one was a success for its intended purposes, however; it prevented the construction of mass transit rail in California.
I think he made that up after the fact once it became abundantly clear how dumb hyperloop was. US states, generally, don't need the help of a billionaire to stay car-brained public transport deniers.
He never wanted improved mass transit in California, so even if he bumblefucked into that outcome, it's still serendipity for him.
That's a lofty goal though
Ehh, everybody already hated it before but they hated it while using it.
He made everybody hate it in a way that was different enough to actually kill it (slowly). It's already the same as seeing a greentext to most people at this point.
There's a paid privilege to wear a dunce cap, too.
That's a good point even the worst of the worst on 4chan would never in a million years pay for the service.
People paying a monyhly fee for their internet dunce cap is keeping the service aflot, which shouldn't be an effective business model but here we are.
If it makes you feel any better, it's not actually an effective business model and he's still hemorrhaging money lol
there were always tripcode users (basically verified users even though it wasn't really verifiable) on 4chan, they posted the most cringe things and were hated by everyone, so pretty much the same as blue-checks. Q of Qanon fame was one of those.
idk money well spent imo
We should abolish money anyway
