badposting is a comm where you post badly


This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?


Rules:

  1. Do not post good posts.
    • Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
    • Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
  2. This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
  3. This rule intentionally left blank.
  4. If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.

Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

Thank you, comrade. I'm getting over it at my own pace. I've heard this advice that's like "you should consider making a family" and it's like "oh yeah, I'll just shower, dress up, and take the metro to the partner factory and pick up one of their new models". I even got a match with a person who had all their ducks in a row and froze like "I can't fucking do this". It's straight up a no go for me right now. I don't have the bandwidth to have someone close and intimate with me, to come home and need to listen and be there for them. To learn about them and hope they like me. Not to mention the craterous impacts that my exes left on my mental model for what a relationship looks like - "are you just saying that because it's convenient for you?" type shit.

ugh, i feel you. after every intense-but-short-lived relationship i have, when i think about the whole process starting back up i have this aversion. like "eh, do i really want to go through this whole emotional meat grinder again?" visible-disgust so its easier to just stay in bed and watch movies and focus on my community work and hobbies. but then the yearning creeps back in, so it's like there isn't a good option.
