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

ok i got to say my piece since this has become a "So what in the hell is wrong with WtYP? post"
My partner and I are both fans of wtyp for various reasons (theirs more for the pure autism, me because it's great background noise when im home alone all week, also maybe some autism)
Yeah Roz pretty sure is a legit ML. But doesn't like conflict and is a bit passive/go along kind of guy and just says "I don't do geopolitics".
Go back far enough and Nova used to be the same. Maybe more a left-com. Even the opening of the Ukraine war she was very skeptical of Ukraine and NATO. Then she gets hyperfixated on the conflict, goes all NAFO, realizes she's in the wrong way later and now less so. In one ep, Roz calls her out for her Taiwan support and she basically has a meltdown on the show after he takes it down with facts and logic. Seems a lot has been going on in her personal life, I don't follow her twitter, who knows. I yell at her parasocially sometimes and wish she wouldn't talk so authoritatively. She's pure Anti-Warism.
Liam, only thing I respect about him is he does social work and seems to genuinely enjoy doing mutual aid. It's also funny how his dad makes fun of his politics. Liam's dad should replace him on the show.
New guy seems nice. They need a less cranky person on there to just be nice to balance the other sout. Also he does the kind of train stuff I like (the track work, not the trains)
Going to be seeing their live show wish me luck.
Liam's dad go on cumtown
For all the reading she does (or at least purports to do for Left on Read), I'm surprised November has as much neoliberal brain worms as she does. Add to that all the people she should be in contact with over her podcasts as well... I listen to all the WTYP episodes roughly when they come out, and she at least usually gets the cue to leave her geopolitical opinions in the news segment ever since Gareth joined on at least. She's still pretty bad on TrashFuture, unfortunately.
Echoing SovietBeerTruckOperator, when did the whole Taiwan thing between her and Roz happen? I don't entirely remember that one. I'll try re-listening to a few more recent episodes and I'll update this post if I find it.
Yes please because I can't remember the ep. It was pretty recent too. I said I would also update or just make an entirely new post if I stumble on it. Definately in the last maybe 10 eps. Obviously in the news segment but who knows maybe it popped up mid way in. It wasn't a mean callout but he just trapped her in a logic loop over her contradictionary support. (note: I think it had to do with China's right to defense against U.S. aggression over Taiwan) So look for the ep with the discussion of the chip factory maybe!
This is me offline.
When did that happen?
I will say I do get the impression they are a genuine group of friends who kinda politically align but have disagreements they sorta dance around cuz they don't want to jeopardize their friendship (and the podcast that's making them $$$)
I'll make a post about the taiwan callout if I ever cycle back to whatever ep that was and get the time stamp. Fuuuuck I forgot but he basically compared Taiwan to some illegitimate nation or movement and it sent Nova into a stuttering mess.
She basically malfunctioned like an android until Liam said they should free her from the torment. It sucks that I can't remember what the hell it was about now.
(see above we are trying to figure out ep. sometime around the discussion of the Taiwan chip factory)
