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

Thick Beanie in 90+ degree weather that clashes loudly with a suit that you shouldn't be pairing with any beanie in the first place. blue-check

Suit either poorly fitted or not tailored to fit at all. blue-check

Ultra Casual suede loafers that also clash loudly blue-check

Buttoned up bottom button chefs-kiss

Best of all, Tim has this look that betrays that in his own he's absolutely slaying it with this look. I'd put money on a bet that the suit is probably from some over hyped designer brand (likely Armani because ...... Tim).

Can someone explain to me what the big deal is about the bottom button? Everyone insists it's bad to button it but I've never understood why. Is it supposed to look bad? It looks fine to me, it's just a suit

It's a tradition that started because King Edward VII was too fat for his coat, so he stopped buttoning the bottom button. Not long after, the British aristocracy began doing the same.

It is silly when you realize that's the origin, but most people don't realize that's what started it (especially on a leftist site). It's just become one of those unacceptable faux pas when wearing a suit, and jackets today are tailored in a way that anticipates that the bottom button is never fastened.

yeonmi-park the anglos loved their dear long dead leader so much they make buttons on their suits that they aren't supposed to fasten in reverence for him

Okay I see what you mean now with jackets being tailored that way, the button being buttoned gives Dim Tool's suit some weird wrinkles. They should just do away with the button once and for all though.

Wearing a beanie with a suit is absolutely hideous though. Like I have no fashion sense and even I'm cringing. What the fuck is it with mediocre white dudes and turning their bad fashion sense into their whole image.

penis sightline of course

spoilerit's some dumb shit about how it messes up the cut because the daft tailors decided to put buttons you aren't meant to use on suits. because overweight aristos that couldn't fasten all their buttons made it fashionable. why the button must remain as a functional vestigial organ escapes me

It is very silly to have a button you are never meant to button. I will never understand fashion.

The east German military coat I'm currently wearing is double breasted, but the left line of buttons is for symmetry. The left side of the rear flap is held in place with a hidden button.

Gives me hips tho

It is my belief that things like this exist for plebs to out themselves as not belonging in high society.
