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

One of the reasons I've always prioritized having the lowest possible commute times goes back to reading about research on quality of life factors. The length of commute was the highest correlated factor in QoL ratings in the research. It was the scientific evidence that fully validated my anti-car views at a young age. I don't know when this was first researched, but I swear I read about it at least a few years before ~2010.
One of the best lessons I learned from my dad was to minimize time spent commuting, or at least make that time as pleasant as possible. Growing up we lived close enough that he could walk to work, and when they moved they made sure they were close to transit/bike trails so he's rarely in the position where he has to drive to work.
I've always found that my commute greatly affects my general mental health. When I've been able to walk/bike/take transit I've generally been more happy and less irritable than when I had to drive through rush hour traffic to get to and from work. The only time I've enjoyed my commute when driving is when I worked out in the boonies & could regularly drive to/from work without encountering any traffic whatsoever
