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 dumb fucking question here. Why did the ussr keep making papirosy/cigarettes? The state owned company made these things, the tobacco was grown on state owned farms, they could just not.
Tobacco addiction is hard to suppress. People already addicted will pay great amounts of money to access black market tobacco if it becomes banned. It can be grown underground like weed
Sure but the same surely applies to alcohol, and they were willing to try not making that.
I'll preface this by saying it's just a guess, I have no evidence for this idea, but maybe it's because tobacco doesn't cause social disorder in the same way as alcohol. Nobody ever got into a fight because they smoked too many cigs yknow?
