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.

Also, shit writing prompt. I havenāt seen a writing prompt online that I didnāt hate. āHey wouldnāt it be neat if someone wrote about this premise???ā
Writing prompt: Day one at the dildo factory
shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up
Writing Prompts:
OK OK you have a point, I hate all of these and I wrote them.

when I think about it more, what I donāt like is how insistent WPs are. Like whatās being communicated to me is āhey this is a good story idea, now you write it so you can prove my point!!!ā You arenāt my editor, pal!
Yeah, itās a lot easier to think of a potentially interesting premise than it is to sit down and actually write it out. Also if Iām gonna write something itāll be something I think is interesting rather than a prompt.

āYarrgh. Another crew of bushy tails, more wet behind the ears than 'tween the legs. Youāve no idea whatās in store for you, but these eyes, these old eyes have seen things. Like the great injector malfunction of aught-sixā¦ā
