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 youā€™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 cutā€™nā€™paste it into its own post ā€” thereā€™s no quota for posting and the bar really isnā€™t that high.

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many ā€œesotericā€ right wing freaks, but thereā€™s no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iā€™m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged ā€œculture criticsā€ who write about everything but understand nothing. Iā€™m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyā€™re inescapable at this point, yet I donā€™t see them mocked (as much as they should be)

Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnā€™t be surgeons because they didnā€™t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canā€™t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

      Thank for letting me know there are other people indifferent to dark mode. Sometimes I feel I am the only one.

        i have already had whiny shits demand that I (a) set dark mode default (b) remove the switch

        default is currently set to whatever your browser thinks is the default and you can switch it otherwise

          God forbid you go out of your way to do something nice without some most entitled asshole in the world giving you shit for it.

          this is the best default imo

          the only times I dislike it are when the siteā€™s dark mode implementation is trash. I occasionally get to notice these, because their implementation is such way that dark reader activates (time trigger), I suddenly get flashblind on some site because dark reader flips their thing to eye-stabbing light colours
