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

$700/mo for a cot in a plywood box.
What a scam.
energies in me are rising.
SROs for the poor are more expensive even and the conditions are usually much worse. esp in this part of the city I bet the target market for pods is pretty much only people who already have a nice office they can shower and exercise and hang out in and only need a space to lie down, so really they're probably doing fine.
sorry I'm a little skittish around this discourse bc a lot of the time it's cast as "gross why would you live this way instead of like a human being" which can really catch housing-precarious ppl in the blast radius
For sure. I think the issue is really that people think it's okay to pay $700/month for a tiny box to sleep in at all. As if it were a good thing for society.
We should really just fucking house everyone and get rid of bloodsucking landlords.
