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

She's 10 now and says she hates it and just wishes she could have a normal name "like Skylar"

We had a big fight about it last night and i told her she's being ungrateful and it's a sign of respect. Now she's threatening to leave the khalasar

and what actually gets my goat as an occluded nerd is that Khaleesi is a title not a name.

I'm torn on this because on the one hand naming someone after a title from a fantasy novel also sets my teeth on edge... But, as I understand it, there is also a history of African-American people giving their children respectful titles - Prince, Queen, etc - as names as a subversive act in response to white supremacy. They may be called all sorts of things by white people but at least every now and again one of them will address your child as a social superior. I'm neither American nor black so I won't claim to be able to speak on the topic but it does seem extremely cool to me.
