“War is almost always bad for trade” (Richard Baldwin 2016, “The Great Convergence”, p. 64)
“TRADE is BAD.” (Donald Trump 2017, qtd. in Douglas Irwin 2020, “Free Trade Under Fire”, p. 1)
Therefore, all wars that are bad for trade are good, so war is almost always good.

  What do you mean? I cited my sources and it wasn’t just Wikipedia, so you should give me a PhD actually!

You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !badposting@hexbear.net

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
