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.

Orange site envrionmentalism:
I grew up with a mossy front yard, and I have clover and ferns in my current yards to compete with grasses; there are better options, my dude.
Weāre anti-grass lawns now? Fuck yes. I knew this place had potential.
Iām no landscaper so donāt quiz me on the options, but grass is in the lowest tier option for things to fill outdoor space with.
lawns in addition to other things are fine, but also all the stuff self said applies pretty hard
weāre lucky in ZA that weāre pretty good with getting a lot of this stuff out, which Iām often pretty happy about, but thatās an incident of geography (and personal location)
dang hates this one weird trick you can use to be an asshole in spite of the orange siteās civility rules
also what is that list of activities? did ChatGPT generate this? grass is required to play beep boop normal human games like cornhole now? youāre āhaving a bonfireā on grass and not in something normal like a firepit thatās safer on rocks or concrete? youāre just laying down on the grass, where the dog shits, slowly getting drunk and incredibly itchy from the grass as a sprinkler douses you?
oh maybe thatās it, the only people Iāve ever met with picturesque lawns are wealthy and wealthy people aināt fucking normal
i love when my yard is a giant mud patch rimmed by yellow with an occasional glimmer of green when the crabgrass blooms
the orange site is absolutely populated by the type of shithead whoās proud to be on their HOAās board
having a lawn is so easy first just hire a gardener to come every week, second live in a place where tap waterās inexpensive
motherfuckers
Your mumās a social and recreational space, but I donāt see you going to bat for her despite being more useful
