I want to meet one of these people IRL so I can tell them that Hemingway is the GOAT author.

Only if you do it in a single stream-of-consciousness run-on sentence with awkward splices and no pausing for breath because commas are revisionist and sentences that span six pages are the only way to convey the depths of your alcoholic stupor.

I, for one, choose to believe that the fish in The Old Man and the Sea was a metaphor for Hemingway’s liver.

hemingway maintained that he never wrote drunk. he’d work from 5am to noon and then get blasted.

he also didn’t really do run-on sentences and “commas are revisionist” sounds nothing like what hemingway would say

It’s been like 15 years since I’ve actually read Hemingway. I thought his sentences were generally shorter than most authors.

The Old man and the Sea was a nonfiction about Hemingway hunting Nazi U-boats with grenades.

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
