badposting is a comm where you post badly

This is not a [email protected] alternative. This is not a [email protected] 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

"bro, it's all so stupid and shitty we just slapped a couple open source functions together, bro. It's all just hacked together and could break at any time. It's got so many bugs, but they just shipped it anyway. The only computer I would have in my house is a printer and I would shoot it if it made a weird sound cause I don't trust technology, bro. Security software, dude, it's like, everybody has bad passwords and it could just, like, break anytime - really makes you think, man."

Sorry, this post came out more angry than expected. I promise that I'm actually not mad about this; I just think it's funny. When you visualize me making this post, imagine me chuckling to myself and sipping on a nice cool aperol spritz through a novelty straw.

As a dev, techbros are insufferable but not for these reasons. They are fortunate enough that capitalists still have use for them and therefore can find good jobs, but many of them take that for granted and lecture everyone else that isn't a programmer and complains about their crappy job for "not trying hard enough".

Add to the mix a god complex that makes them disregard any book that isn't computer science, statistically coming from wealthier backgrounds, an obsession that everything can be fixed with technology, and you get a very reactionary lib.

will lecture everybody else about "not trying hard enough" while having the cushiest job possible where you can literally do nothing and still collect a big paycheck

Seems that they are more like epidemiologists, they want everyone to notice but no one gives a shit as long as the treats keep coming.
