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

jesus christ, how are these "people" so scared of everything? so scared of having to interact with your community?

I went as a fat cracker australian tourist and it was this easy:

land domestic flight
catch train to brooklyn, ride train like normal person while literally carrying suitcases and backpack
stumble into random building in darkness to find accomodation
wake up, google closest atm/bank
withdraw literally hundreds of dollars on the street because you need to carry cash in your shithole country
put cash in wallet like a normal person
buy bagel
get drunk
wear small day backpack for 5 days straight to carry water and snax
buy deli sandwich
buy the guy next to me a beer at WWE raw in MSG because he was cool and didn't smell (particularly notable for wrestling fans)
get drunk
ride subway a few more times
give unhoused dude a 20 because i was actually forced to carry cash
leave

ezpz, get good chinless chuds lmao

Never been to NYC but my experience in USA is that there is 0 sense of community anymore on the streets/public transit. Even Canada is much better

So many people think like the tweet where even if you try, they'll think you're a scammer or some nutcase and just look at you weird/ignore you

I've visited New York and Long Island before, but outside of Hawai'i. In my experience, the sense of community there is as good as it gets in the US.

It's a shame property values are so high there, because I would have gotten myself a 1-bedroom apartment there the NANOSECOND I graduated college instead of wasting half of my 20s rotting in a conservative rural/suburban shithole.
