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

sadly need to inform you that using the word "chick" has unfortunate misogynistic tones – why are we referring to an adult woman with the word for a baby animal?
excising it from my own vocabulary is a fucking challenge. it is in heavy use in my extended family and was one of my late sister's favorite words, and learning how it comes across to some other women was a real bummer.
I agree. It's a hard habit to break when it's decades-deep embedded into your vocabulary.
That said: I don't know how anyone can stand that woman.
While normal in the English language, it still reads a bit misogynistic.
I don't know how anyone can stand that

That's a fair criticism.

Oh yeah didn't AOC stream League like several times? I totally memory holed that one.
Edit: or I just made that up, I could've sworn some politician did
