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

Counterpoint: Harris’ is a more efficient spelling

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 1 points 5 months ago

It's also grammatically wrong

cringe Ah yes, it's the most important election of our lifetime. And also the most deeply unserious one.

Let 'em cook. Weird names are their thing

I am a grammar enjoyer but "yeah there's an incorrect way and then a couple correct ways based on style guide" does not justify having its own page and link

FOLKENFLIK: So at no point, in print or in speech, should we see the phrase or hear the phrase Harrises's (ph)?

JOVIN: For the plural possessive, if you see that, it's a mistake.

It's not a mistake, it's a deliberate choice to make English less bad. e.g. "I will dance when the ICJ finds Harris's actions over the course of the genocide worthy of imprisonment".
