Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful you’ll near-instantly regret.
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cut’n’paste it into its own post — there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
igwym (haven't dealt with it myself but have seen the Named Famous Food Truck Enterprises phenomenon which sprung forth from that) but that's not quite what I meant
we just don't have food trucks here - we have some roadside spaza shops, interspersed on some more of the busier intersections of cities. largely these will be packets and produce. some of the ones in very high traffic areas might do hot/cooked foods, but off the top of my head I can only think of 4~5 places in my side of the city where these exist
(and since I figured this would be unfamiliar to anyone who isn't from ZA, I briefly checked the internet to see whether there's decent imagery to convey what I mean and .... no. there is none. so I guess I'll have to go create it)
