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

Anti-v@ush posting is apparently v*ush posting and "goes in the dunk tank" according to urbanism mod, and nuts to all the discussion that was already happening in that thread.

I loved motorcycles until I lived in Mexico for a while and realized they have a different perception of what a “bike lane” is for. Constant lane splitting and going into bike lanes or even on the sidewalk to speed around traffic. My brother got hit by a motorcycle in a bike lane, thankfully his bicycle took the brunt of the impact and saved a mother and child from getting hit. Of course, the motorcycle likely wouldn’t have been in the bike lane if there weren’t cars congesting the road but there will always be impatient assholes and motorcycles are still dangerous for pedestrians
