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 [email protected]

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 wanted my kids to know me," Jobs told Isaacson. "I wasn't always there for them, and I wanted them to know why and to understand what I did."

Bro chose his legacy over his kids and spent his last days cloying for validation of that decision rip-bozo

Acting like he's some fuckin' migrant worker forced to leave his family to get them what they need to survive smh

I thought he was going to regret trying to cure cancer with fruit juice.

I think it is humanizing that he regretted being a total dickwad to the people he knew personally instead of bemoaning his absurd faith in homeopathy. Of course the only people who are able to judge that are his estranged children whom he ignored and disowned.

But I don't wanna miss out on the action, so I judge him unfavorably for being a capitalist, which dehumanizes the laboring classes, and I judge him unfavorably for being an asshole directly to people he didn't even personally know. Steve Jobs was not a good person and is undeserving of the hero worship he receives.

Per his quote, he wasn't apologizing or wishing he'd done anything differently - he wanted his children to validate his decisions

Narcissists don't regret abusing people around them. They regret the absence of people to continue abusing.

Also spending a shit-ton of money to put himself higher on the organ transplant list only to find out you don't cure cancer with organ transplants either
