was meditating the other day on how despicably awful and cruel shows like C*PS were. goddamn there was this one called bait car that raised the stakes through ostensible entrapment, leaving high priced vehicles unlocked and running in impoverished (mostly minority) neighborhoods, and when theft was attempted locking the person in the car and killing the engine remotely before surrounding and arresting. the "entertainment", as expressed by the police and highlighted by the show, were the prevarications and lies the the entrapped and abused put forth as reasons for their driving the car. truly depraved shit, and doing its part to stoke reactionary and anti-human dispositions and reground them in the domain of entertainment.

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

I blame those shows for exacerbating the cop-brained bullshit in america. Not saying it was a CIA plot or anything, but it certainly helped their cause. And those shows arising in the 80s and 90s right when Reagan took office is even more sus.
