They say that I'm cozy, and sometimes
I feel like I'm cozy (I feel like I'm cozy)
But I know I'm not cozy (I'm not cozy)
And my mistakes don't make me, or break me

They say that I'm cozy, and sometimes
I feel like I'm cozy (I feel like I'm cozy)
But I know I'm not cozy (I'm not cozy)
And my mistakes don't make me, this the way ~~G*d~~ made me
They say that I'm cozy

The euphemism treadmill is a linguistic phenomenon where words used as euphemisms for unpleasant concepts eventually acquire negative connotations, leading to the need for new euphemisms. This cycle continues as new terms also become tainted over time, requiring further replacements.

[OOC]: watch this drive obama-drone

Examples of words that have undergone the euphemism treadmill include "c*******," which evolved to "h**********," then "d**abled," and more recently "differently abled."

Another example is "m***** r**********," which has shifted to "intellectually d**abled" as societal views on language and disability have changed.

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
