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

My whole life people of every age at all times of my life have complained about the dreaded "participation trophies." I've never recieved one, and I've never seen one. I do think they exist to some extent but i would never have heard of them outside of people (of every generation and walk of life) complaining about them.
I was tired of hearing about it when i was still a kid.
I remember getting the occasional participation medal for like... Sports things that I was bad at as a kid. After a certain age, the kids doing extra-curriculars were the ones who wanted to be there. This was maybe mid-90s only around grade 1-3? I only really remember feeling condescended to, I don't feel like they occurred frequently enough or in... Earnest enough situations for them to really affect anything.
Yeah, that was my understanding that the "participation trophies" everyone has been so upset about for 40 years were just like for little kids sports things. Like before they can be old enough for any kind of competition to be serious or real - i mean all a 7 year old kid can really do is participate lol
I think the worst thing you can say about them is that they could feel condescending to the kids. I don't think giving little kids something for participating in like a sport is inherently condescending, i think the problem is American culuture.
We had school houses and stuff, which I feel like sorta was intended to train us for in-group out-group dynamics and competition. But I haven't seen those in a while other than in Harry Potter.
(I was actively bad at running, no idea why, probably autism lol)
