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

one of the worst bits is they seem to think only white people will read their book and study medicine, horrid

Oh don't forget how many physicians still think Black people have thicker skin and can tolerate more pain and so are less likely to correctly prescribe analgesics

Hated this unit when I was in Nursing101. Had to actually answer questions with this sort of data. Pretty sure my NCLEX prep course also did this. My NCLEX prep course was also probably twice as hard as the NCLEX and demanded I know the nutritional content of every food imaginable and I failed one of their tests because I wasn't fully aware of the nutritional content of foods like sunflower seed butter. Took an extra 3 months for me to pass this shit only to take the actual NCLEX, finish in like 30 minutes with the minimum required questions meaning I passed it with flying colors and did not need the shitty course. Had to pay extra money to extend the course as well because my school refused to release my diploma until I passed the course. You need your diploma to register to take the NCLEX.

we may have to start making excuses for the lack of terror

This is all obviously nonsense.

However, different cultures do present pain in different ways, and different people are more or less willing to vocalise their pain.

Knowing this can help us treat their pain more effectively and with better outcomes. The balance of course is the risk of under treating pain, especially people of other races.

Theoretically yes, but this shit is also as vague as online personality test.
