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:
- 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
- This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
- This rule intentionally left blank.
- 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

I'm wondering if one of the reasons conservatives have had such inroads with youth is that they give you money if you're big enough. Like you can make a career out of being a college campus Republican and content creator. There's a whole financial infrastructure in place to create these people and incentivize them to recruit. Dems, on the other hand, view it as a public service. You should be an outspoken campus Democrat because it's the right thing to do and because you're a good person. There doesn't seem to be enough of an influencer pipeline to take over the real estate. I'm aware that there are paid DNC teen influencers but it doesn't seem as common as the right. TPUSA has spent a lot of money on this machine and I don't know if there's a Dem equivalent.
Basically, Republicans are more willing to buy the soul of the youth while Dems think the youth should volunteer their souls.
Yeah Dems are much more invested in the idea of a limited, meritocratic stable of up and coning ~~grifters~~ influencers, people with the degrees from the good schools. Whereas with conservatives, 95 year old Baron Oiler Von Warcrimes who has $840 billion in assets after inheriting his dad’s asbestos corporation just throws a $100k per year at a dozen wannabe Kirks and it won’t even touch his principal.
you are on fire with these takes.
it must be so cool to be the Langley Dominos. the things you hear
