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 have nothing funny to say about this. This particular grift has already killed or permanently disabled, with agonizing pain, thousands of primates under sloppy conditions that would fit right in with Mengele.

I have deep, lasting hatred for these death cultists.

I think his brain was pushing the wires out or something? I'm assuming they fixed it, but still jesus-christ

I've never had a disability to the degree of a quadriplegic person, but I can bet it's super cool to be able to play a stupid computer game for the first time in a long time without feeling like your body is in the way.

That being said, I can set aside my disbelief that one of the bazinga king's companies can put out a chip that let's someone interface with a computer (despite it's super suspect safety), but communication with another person is a lot more complex - let alone communication with a different species. Why would anyone even consider doing this

Don't they have cursor control based on eye tracking?

They do. I'm sure there's other disability tech that doesn't involve experimental surgery. I'm just saying I can kinda empathize, even though the guy with the chip is a bazinga doofus.

Putting the chip in the dog is a step too far though

I don't have a problem with him putting a chip in himself and I can see why he did. The dog is too far though.
