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 definitely happened. I know when I am hanging out with my gang buddies we always make sure to do our drugs in the middle of the street outside incredibly well surveiled corporate office parking structures.

A gang doing drugs on a street outside of a parking garage attached to Twitter, a very real thing that happens.

[–] LanyrdSkynrd@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago

A gang that announces to Elon and the security staff that follow him, that they are in fact a gang.

Drug gang did a much better job of it than Laura Loomer.

Two black guys smoking cigarettes?

Bro you are a billionaire. You have comical amounts of money. You could retain 100 fully armed knights with a stipend of 10 million dollars per annum, each, forever. How, how, HOW, do you not have your own muscle?

[–] DefinitelyNotAPhone@hexbear.net 31 points 2 years ago (2 children)

For someone as obsessed with surface level cyberpunk aesthetics as Elon is, you'd think he'd at least hire some LARPers to pretend to be Arasaka ninjas and guard him.

We really are living in cyberpunk-without-the-cyber, we don't even get the cool cyborg cops kicking our doors in.

shit has any movie done this yet? a traditional build up of these HARD CYBER NINJAS and then the hero smacks one of them and the cosplay armor shatters and the rest of the bodyguards immediately back off

He’s deadnaming his own company

[–] NuraShiny@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You are correct, but I think X is the deadname.

By doing the twitter/X thing he’s admitting that X is a horrible name that can’t stand on itself.

[–] MusicOwl@hexbear.net 28 points 2 years ago

Even this man knows X is fucking joke.

Elon, gated.

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

He didn't have his Cyberguards execute them on sight? Skill issue.

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If they're doing drugs why would they be interested in you folks? Do you have more drugs?

[–] Cysioland@lemmygrad.ml 14 points 2 years ago

Oh Elon probably got a whole pharmacy worth of drugs on him

[–] hello_hello@hexbear.net 18 points 2 years ago

Nevertheless a USian politician will personally read this and increase the cop budget for another couple million.

You know, to stop the drug smoking gangs in front of the oligarch's corp office.

[–] GayTuckerCarlson@hexbear.net 18 points 2 years ago

If only Gaddafi could have been around to funnel money to Drug Gang

One time a guy was smoking crack or meth or whatever standing right behind my car as I was trying to back out of a parking spot, I politely asked him to move so I could leave and he apologized for being in the way and stepped aside

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago

Here's a picture of one of the gang members, DISGUSTING. Who's going to keep our white children safe?

[–] context@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

i'm starting to think elon didn't even walk up to them to ask politely if they'd kindly stop blocking his egress

[–] Chronicon@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

B-but they were urban and scary.

nevermind the fact that there's a high likelihood they were doing fent and no threat to anyone. If the story isn't completely made up that is

And the use of the word "gang" here is really peak white south african. Or just peak racist I guess. 4 people hanging out together on the street = gang.
