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 know I made a highlight thread yesterday but I have to extra-highlight this bit. this is shit a five year old would think was an own, and it's made worse since Norm clearly isn't putting in effort serving up name distortions to this freakazoid but here he's 100% trying to be clever. he's trying to do wordplay. he's failing strangelove-wow

I'm asking you to not debate twitch streamers.

[–] dannoffs@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Uhm actually Destiny is a YouTube streamer. Would you prefer to send my reward for besting you in rhetoric via venmo or cashapp ?

Alas, I have bested thee in the common court of rhetorical contest. As per tradition, you are hereby requested to send, via telephonic communications, four "gift cards" of the Apple variant -- equal in value to no less than 100 U.S. dollars, of course!

I will also accept two(2) fandango/olive garden dinner and a movie combo gift card packs.

i-think-that I'm not above the enjoyment of talking-head bloodsport

sometimes I just want to see an insufferable lib get insulted in 40 different ways shrug-outta-hecks

Mister Burlesconi, with all due respect, your hair, your gear, your shoes, your way that you talk, your foot stance, it's all wack

Was Finkelstein getting Boticelli's name wrong on purpose

[–] dannoffs@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

I don't think so. I think he genuinely couldn't force himself to care enough about Bernoulli to remember it.

If the comments (and my memory) I read on youtube or fridman's reddit can be trusted Norm got it right more often than not. I thought he added an unnecessary 'I' waayyy more often than he got it right, but I agree with dannoffs I also think Norm just couldn't be arsed to remember the moron's name.

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

Stinkerfiend would be a better insult, but can't expect much out of a moron.

My thoughts on watching the debate are that my previously held beliefs that mr nobnel sucks major ass were proven absolutely true. and that the person sitting next to mr bolneni is really gross (this was made even more obvious with your transcripts, so thank you). I haven't read any of Benny Morris's work but I'm sure it's scary.

"Mr. Borelli... you're such a fantastic moron, it's terrifying." is the highlight of the show for me. ad-hom! Norm told an asshole who was in over his head that he is an asshole who was in over his head.

Also near the end Rabbani bringing up Destiny not believing that Jim Crow was apartheid. He's so fucking slimey and gross I can't believe people take him seriously.

Fisherman's shack? That's right. Hamas compound.
