badposting
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

Okay I do want someone to do a meta study about why everyone is suddenly the worst driver. My two guesses are COVID and an increase in delivery drivers due to the ever expanding gig economy but I don't have any way to know. I also want to have a struggle session about if it's okay for gig drivers to drive and park like absolute madmen or not because on one side they're trying to pay their bills but on the other side they're killing people by driving the way they do
this is a big part of it, yeah. COVID infection has a chance to cause long-term brain damage, every repeat infection raises those chances, and cyclical reinfection almost guarantees brain damage. and of course, it’s the kind of brain damage which impairs both cognitive ability and reaction time (making drivers objectively worse) and reduces empathy (which makes drivers (bigger) assholes).
I also want this study but delivery drivers, including things like uber eats, seem to be far too small a percentage of drivers to explain why it is pandemonium out there. It's more of a logical trend, that has happened for a long while, where drivers aren't actually at fault for anything, ever.
It is not, no. Removed from individual choices, this is surrendering public space to the Uber Company for Uber eats, who gets all the profits and cares exactly 0% about their drivers. The solution to delivery drivers driving or parking badly is not to just let them do that, endangering everyone else. Least of not because that includes other delivery drivers on the ever more prominent e-bicycles, who also get fucked by that.
