Want to wade into the snowy surf of the abyss? 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.

OT: My truck got rear ended today, and then my cat had breathing difficulties when I got home…he’s under oxygen at the university clinic right now and its probably cancer instead of pneumonia. Just feeling totally destroyed rn.
that sucks hard, I’m sorry. mine recently too, went from “looking a bit off” to “have to put 'em down” in less than a month. still hits me like a truck
hope it goes as well as possible for y’all
That absolutely blows, friend. Hang in there and we’ll see you around.
Clinic called back. Its metastasized through his lungs and he’s got months tops. Probably going to be less bc vet said he’s suffering.
My condolences, that truly sucks :(
i’m so sorry. (tentative hug of support, if acceptable.)
Thinking of yall
🫂
That’s awful. I’m sorry.
🫂
i am so sorry
That is shit, also sending good vibes. It never is just one thing isnt it. Bad luck always seems to come in multiples.
Man, that’s rough. I know it’s not much but I’m sending you positive energy from where I am.
Fuck bro that sucks
