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:

  1. 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
  2. This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
  3. This rule intentionally left blank.
  4. 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

Hi,

Civility here from hexbear.net, thanks for your time.

I have four questions:

  1. How did you get your start as a guy?

  2. When did you first realise you weren't as good as other guys, and could even be considered 'bad'?

  3. What's the worst at being a guy you've ever been?

  4. What advice do you have for all the aspiring young guys on hexbear.net who are worried about being 'bad'?

  1. I have a distinct memory of not being allowed to put my backpack on the green shelf in kindergarten because that shelf was for the girls' backpacks. I preferred the color green so i wasn't pleased to find out I'm a guy.

  2. I realized this when I started to work in construction and was far less interested in commenting on women who walked by or telling mean spirited jokes than the other guys were.

  3. Interesting question. I suppose it was when I opted to buy the pink Nintendo 3DS because it was $30 cheaper than the other colors while my peers decided it wasn't worth the savings

  4. Being bad is fine, actually

Have you considered being a good guy? It's just my personal opinion but I think being good is better than being bad.

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 3 points 2 days ago

No, but now that you mention it, i should

[–] Feinsteins_Ghost@hexbear.net 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

why are you a really bad guy?

do you kick kittens and puppies? Do you trip elderly people when they walk by?

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No, just not very good at anything

[–] Feinsteins_Ghost@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

But thats not being a bad guy. Thats just not having done something a bunch, comrade.
