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

he's said before that he's had a gun pointed at him in anger more than once (not surprising considering what a piece of shit he is), it does sound a lot like hypervigilance

We should make him honest then...

[–] context@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

let me believe this one

[–] tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

I wish he would at least lie with more difficulty

I doubt that actually happened to him (maybe that's how he gamed it out in his mind). But if i take him at his word then wow. That's not a normal thing to happen to anyone once. He's a piece of shit and deserves it, but I've met plenty of assholes who this hasn't and won't ever happen to. What the hell has been saying irl and to who?

I know of at least two people who have had it happen to that are perfectly normal as a result of road ragers due to "cutting them off" or honking. Nearly been in a similar situation myself I suspect had I not made an illegal u turn and sped off. Car brain in the South is something

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

Oh, yeah unfortunately that scenario makes a lot of sense to happen to regular people for no reason. Car brain sucks and it is extremely dangerous in the South

Retvrn to sawn off coach gun for dealing with road bandits

Thread had me thinking back on all the dumb shit people had pulled pistols on me for & had one of those moments when you realize "Oh shit this really isnt normal everywhere else on the planet huh? Fuck me."

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Damn sorry to hear that comrade. Thread has me feeling it might be more normal cause the world is a pretty fucked up place

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Why couldn't it have just been once?
