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

Huge numbers of dogs also have weird behavioral triggers with bikes, skateboards, and scooters. Will lunge at them as they go by. I was walking one of my friends' dogs because they were out of town and the fucker tried to straight up yeet himself into oncoming traffic because he saw a bicycle on the other side of the road. Had dogs try to lunge at me as I biked by many times. Why do these people even take them out on bike paths???

weird behavioral triggers

Right? They're territorial predators, and people just don't train or socialize them. Those leashes that are on a spring and the dog can just spool out line, that's not keeping your dog under control. idk, people are fucking goofy. And then they get goofy when you point out that their 40, 50lb predatory land mammal isn't safe to take outside. Not safe for the dog, not safe for bystanders, because they made no effort at all to train the animal. Like fuck off, dude, you're the one who couldn't be bothered to take your dog to puppy socialization and teach it to stay, you are the villain here.

My roommate's dog only hated longboards. Regular skateboards were fine. She was anti poser

I hate dogs because of shit like this. Definitely had cases where I'd be out walking and some dog would start charging across traffic at me.
