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?
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 hate hero worship, it's silly. Especially when it involves a historical figure you have no way of ever meeting that might have secretly been a total douche for all I know.
I know it was the combined effort of the people of the Soviet Union that got the first man into space. It wasn't Gararin alone.
But there is something so damn cool about this guy. Look at this chad. 
[WARNING, WEAPONS GRADE BAD JOKE]: You could say I'm gaga for Gagarin. 
I don't think it's necessarily cringe. I always see these folks as representing something greater than themselves, this sort of idea that mankind can transcend any of its adversities and reach for the highest heights. There was a sort of overall optimism people had about the future in the postwar world, of which the success of space exploration was one part. Both sides of the Cold War talked like that and in an era where the people who rule over us have no plan for the future, that kind of rhetoric is very appealing to me because it speaks of a better future. In that vein, I'd count him as my hero too.
