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 am a card-carrying mensa member

lmao, does it get you discounts on Cybertrucks and any Funko Pops with bowties?

[–] dannoffs@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

I was a Mensa "gifted youth" and all I got was a shit magazine and a mensa.org email address.

I assume that the 222 replies to the last tweet are all some variation of "ratio".

The video is a dude interviewing a Japanese woman about whether or not she would welcome more diversity, to which she says "yes". All the replies are predictably "enjoy your foreign pedophile r*pists" which I think is strange because she never said anything about allowing more US soldiers into the country.

There is a point now which Japan is becoming more and more desperate to bring immigrants to save their economy compared to the US trying to exterminate their immigrants to "save" their economy.

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

The big Japanese corporations are desperate to bring in more people as the work force dries up and there's literally not enough construction workers or truck drivers or food service workers to keep things going. The politicians and their conservative voters are desperate to keep people out because of their xenophobia.

What you end up with are people brought over from places like Vietnam on "apprenticeships" put into overcrowded dorms, paid peanuts (even by Japanese standards) and then sent home as soon as their limited term in Japan ends with no pathway to residency.

Then, predictably, those exploited migrants need to work on the side or steal just to survive and all the conservatives point and squeel about how foreigners can't fit into Japanese society.

mensa

IQ is just obfuscated phrenology.

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

One of the founders literally believed in phrenology and hated that there were non-rich people in Mensa.

Mensa is the thing you put on your resume when you have absolutely nothing else going for you

Girlfriend constantly contradicts me (IQ 162), becoming flustrated.

Four days later?

Imagine the stewing and seething.

How could you let someone else control so much of your life?

What a whiny little bitch.

4 days and that's their brilliant comeback as well. So pathetic.

Mensa-tier comeback from a card-carrying comeback brain genius

[–] StalinStan@hexbear.net 38 points 1 year ago

Mensa was oringinally an arg to meet fellow autistics. It still is except now everyone is rascist. So it basically went the same way as reddit.

What the fuck is Mensa? You paid to have a card that’s supposed to tell me you’re smart? You sound like the biggest mark in history

Not beating the pathetic loser allegations when you mention mensa.

"Every time a lib challenges me to a debate, I do one squat."

[–] Angel@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The things you can accomplish when you spend time you would have wasted debating people on doing squats instead.
