badposting is a comm where you post badly


This is not a [email protected] alternative. This is not a [email protected] 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

It's come to our attention that some of our comrades are living a bachelor life. This may appeal to the carefree whims of the freewheeling youngsters, but it's counterproductive to the orderly running of the state. Firstly, wedded citizens require 43% less resources, as things like housing, utensils, and clothing can be shared. Secondly, unattached citizens are a serious social ill; studies find that unmarried posters are 87% more likely to engage in violent struggle sessions, and 59% more likely to post removed comments [see source]. Finally and most importantly, married citizens can contribute to the reproduction of workers that our community needs to survive.

It has therefore been decided that all unattached members of hexbear register for your mandated spouse selection. Failure to do so will result in marital judgment in absentia, and a partner sent to your living space within 14 working days of your conviction.

Let's just hope that is the position assigned to you by the committee. I'm sure you'd be an excellent top, if that's what our country needs of you.

Everyone will take the hexaco personality test then uh we'll do some statistics I guess. Get some married couples that still like each other to also take the hexaco then slap the data into some kind of model. And then everyone will have a mathematically ideal partner and no right to complain about it.

So interestingly, the research so far seems to suggest that you can't 'match' people based on compatibility of personality-types. However, personality does have an effect on relationship outcomes.


https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0213569"The findings indicate that machine learning techniques can improve the prediction of relationship quality (37% of variance explained), and that the perceived relationship quality of a partner is mostly dependent on his or her own individual personality traits.".... i.e. if you have a good personality, that is predictive of having good relationships, but it's not to do with your personality matching your partner's personality... "partner and similarity effects did not incrementally predict relationship quality beyond actor effects and general personality traits predicted relationship quality less strongly than relationship-related personality."

Section 1.2 is a literature review that supports the idea that it's the individual's personality that matters.

What do I mean by 'good personality'? "The strongest associations were found for agreeableness and emotional stability, followed by conscientiousness, and then extraversion." (Note that "emotional stability" in the HEXACO model is another way of saying low neuroticism score. Neuroticism is the tendency to experience bad emotions.)


https://sci-hub.se/10.1016/j.jrp.2009.09.004"A meta-analysis that included 19 samples with a total of 3848 participants showed that scores on four of the Five-Factor Model personality factors correlated significantly with level of relationship satisfaction by intimate heterosexual partners. The four personality characteristics were low neuroticism, high agreeableness, high conscientiousness, and high extraversion."


https://sci-hub.se/10.1037/0893-3200.11.4.503 looked at which facet of neuroticism affected relationships and it's depression


https://sci-hub.se/10.1037/a0036190"According to a recent meta-analysis, the personality traits of conscientiousness, neuroticism, and agreeableness are among the best psychological predictors of divorce, even surpassing the effects of socioeconomic status and IQ, such that low levels of conscientiousness and agreeableness and high levels of neuroticism are associated with relationship dissolution (Roberts et al., 2007)."

That's referring to Roberts, B. W., Kuncel, N. R., Shiner, R., Caspi, A., & Goldberg, L. R. (2007). The power of personality: The comparative validity of personality traits, socio-economic status, and cognitive ability for predicting important life outcomes. Perspectives on Psychological Science, 2, 313–345. doi:10.1111/j.1745-6916.2007.00047.x, which says "Neuroticism is one of the strongest and most consistent personality predictors of relationship dissatisfaction, conflict, abuse, and ultimately dissolution (Karney & Bradbury, 1995)."
