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
This man is deranged
For those that don't know, ComStar is the name of the central communications company in the tabletop game Battletech. They control all the communication in the entire galaxy, are styled as and act like a religious institution, and have their own private army empowered to show up and coup anyone who doesn't pay up or attempts to create a separate communications network
Whoever told Musk about this fucking lore needs to be sent to the pit
ComStar is literally the satire faction about tech nerds and how their own self-worship has religious undertones. The BT writers were specifically making fun of people like Elon.
“At last, I have created the ComStat from the culturally acclaimed novel Don’t Create The ComStat”
we love the Torment Nexus, don’t we folks
You think Elon would ever grasp that?
