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 youāll 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 cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)
are we really clutching our pearls because someone named themselves after a demon
I wouldnāt say pearl-clutching as much as eye-rolling. Though we do dip into full BEC mode sometimes and the stubsack in particular can swing wildly between moral condemnation, intellectual critique, and calling out straight-up cringe.
ā¦the fuckās a BEC
BoseāEinstein condensate
You know, I realise I have no idea what a BoseāEinstein condensate is and I canāt help but picturing it as a cup of blue espresso.
āBitch Eating Crackersā as in "God I hate her, look at that bitch over there eating crackers."When you get sufficiently pissed off at someone that literally anything they do makes you mad.
See also how we sometimes swing pretty wildly between moral condemnation of actions and patterns that objectively make the world a strictly worse place and aesthetic critique of shit that, at the end of the day, is still probably less cringe than I was in high school.
