Cyberpunk fiction had it so backwards. The neon places are good. The evil places are all bland, uninspired architecture because every building is made just to sell later. That’s why places like Pizza Hut stopped making identifiable buildings, because no one was buying them.

They had it backwards with food too. The books all predicted evil capitalist hell food would be bland goo paste without flavor, instead it’s all overly sweet corn syrup and 400g of sodium.

I will eat bland goo paste every day if it’s cheap, nutritious, has no health downsides, and ethically sourced(vegan).

When I was a kid I thought that neon cities looked cool, I want to live there, and the bad cities are grey, cold, and even the rich people have shaded, vampire apartments.

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
