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

Eh, language comes with practice and effort. It is never really easy. But it is easier and more organic if you are [n place. It is also possible to speak a language and not really be able to write it, not ideal of course, but not the end of the world. Language is not something that needs to be prefect to use, it is a tool, for communication. It just needs to be good enough for that.
In my experience an interaction, even when both parties have no common language, does not start exactly from 0. Communication is more complex than that.
It is similar to how each dog has the same body language, no matter where they are from. Humans are like that as well(to some extent). People are people wherever you go. We are all the same species. It is not some alien planet.
Sure, but I can guesswork a lot of latinate languages because I know English etymology. China on the other hand I don't have a clue... they might as well be speaking Chinese.
I mean, noone is born speaking mandarin. And I certainly don't have the energy currently to do it myself, but by saying learning it is impossible, you make it so. You could take decades if you wanted to, you learn for yourself, there doesn't need to be any pressure to conform to any standard. Just do what you want,approach it in a way that seems enjoyable to you. Maybe you could start with movies(with eng, subtitles) or music in chinese, so you could get used to the language melody. And it's more fun and accessible than learning vocabs.
Learning a language is most fun if it goes along with a cultural understanding.
(Edit: also english has a lot more than 26 phoenetics, don't sell yourself short)
