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

Bit Idea: After the revolution, we should have a second fake government with show elections to ease americans into it (hexbear.net)

Everybody knows that the american civic religion places a lot of emphasis on our "democracy" as it exists, so we should set up something that will let people in the politics fandom get all of the excitement out of their system without actually getting in the way of important governing decisions.

The actual elections will be on entirely separate dates with minimal fanfare. The show elections will have the non-stop campaigning and press events everyone's used to, but nobody elected will have any political power. On MSM talkshows and the like, they'll only be allowed to talk about things happening on the fake side of things. Mentioning real politics will carry a penalty of having to sort rocks in a quarry (or similar task in regions lacking sufficient rocks) for 1 hour per time mentioned.

In terms of subjects, they can argue over whether we're abolishing the value form too quickly or too slowly, or if outdoor cats should be legal. They'll constantly go on about national unity and how we're too divided while agreeing about 99% of things.

Very close to now, but with more rock stacking drama.
