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 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.
(Semi-obligatory thanks to @dgerard for starting this)
saw you already got two answers, another answer: medium’s stupid popover blocker is based on a counter value in a cookie that you could can blow up yourself (or get around with instance windows)
I am a very big fan of the Fx Temporary Containers extension
I didn’t even know about the temporary containers extension. that’ll be very useful for so much stuff. Thanks as well!
yeah for some reason it’s not very well known, which is why I tell people about it. I’m 90% done with my months-ago-promised browser post, and should have it up soon
couple last-minute irks came up recently as I was doing some stuff, so now I’m trying to figure out whether those have answers or not…
