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

i don't understand this image, but i see it all the time.. somehow I've not been able to glean its meaning from context. Can you explain it for me?

its called "sicko wistful" so its ment to express longing. Like this emoji ussr-cry The sickos's are from these https://www.theonion.com/opinion/cartoons

It's a reference to sicko-yes yes-hahaha-yes-l . Same character, who would like to be doing that and is thinking wistfully

Huh, i've always viewed it as external expression, internal thought, like the meme "i do not want to speak. If i speak, i am in big trouble."

So why is ElChapoDeChapo wistful for the tenant to go to jail?

[–] Shinji_Ikari@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

Because he wishes he could sicko-blur but he cannot if the tenant goes to jail.
