badposting
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
seriousposting
Forgive me for seriousposting, but I genuinely feel bad for white people (particularly cishet men) that such a huge proportion of them not only don't know how to dance, but are terrified of dancing. That manifests in different ways, from being a wallflower to taking an aggressive stance and saying that dancing is for [slurs], but it all stems from insecurity. I mean, entrainment to a rhythm is one of the most ancient of human communal activities, and yet it's all but locked away for crackers across the Anglosphere! I feel very lucky to have been brought up in a culture where dancing is a part of everyday life; thanks to that constant early exposure, it's now a way I can let loose and express joy through motion. If we ever get those reeducation camps set up, I propose that we include a basic salsa class or something (shameless cultural bias—I'm open to other suggestions) to improve quality of life and social cohesion.I, the whitest white guy in the world, do really enjoy dancing. I came of age when the rave culture was peaking. However the aesthetics of my dance is absolute shit. I just gotta be
about it.
I'm definitely not saying that it's easier to be non-white, but I can be jealous at times.
I'm glad!! Having fun with it is all that really matters, IMO. I mean, even though Mr. Double Dream Feet is undeniably corny as hell, he seems like he's genuinely having a blast, and I love that for him. And of course, if it's something you're interested in, it's never too late to learn more!
Apropos of nothing, here's some dance choreo I particularly enjoy (I am definitely not that good lol). Aside from the incredible execution, it's the perfect mix of sexy yet playful—he's not taking himself too seriously (the cute little shimmy at 1:13 is one of my favorite bits).
