It be sweet if I was on either extreme but to sit on the fence like this (average) just shows my cowardness. I wonder if being flag-non-binary-pride at least puts me in a new categorythinking-about-it

This is not a badpost, it is truth. Being a size centrist of any sort is the worst. I used to be 6’0” and probably… iunno… 400+ lbs?? (I didn’t stand on scales back then so I have no idea what I weighed, but at my biggest I was a size 54 waist in Carhartt pants and a 4XL in shirts so yeah I was big (no fat shaming here, just facts)) and could always find good clothes at second hand stores for next to nothing. Now I’m like, fairly athletic and a size large/xl in tops and a 32-34 in bottoms and… it is substantially more difficult to find good clothes on the cheap.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s clothes for me out there, but being big was tight (pun intended lol). Donations in big and tall sizes always seemed to exceed sales volumes, and a lot of big dudes wear Carhartt and other similar stuff because they’re one of the few off the rack brands that makes big sizes in decent quality. Being mostly average sucks because the good shit is harder to come by because the pool of people looking for it is substantially larger.

Centrism in all its forms is garbage.

I guess I just need to get jacked.

Wow that is significant weight loss. I bet Duluth Trading Co. is another good brand for big boys.

Good luck on the lifts, I mostly get my clothes at the thrift store too but my luck varies

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
