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.

usually because Iām tired of carne asada
Only good thing about that submission to HN was that I learned about al pastor, which sounds delish.
itās excellent if you can get it from a street taqueria!
gooooooood I wish ZA had better food truck culture :(
we have great food overall, but food truck culture just isnāt really a thing here. food trucks do exist but largely seen at festivals/gigs. at best youāll usually get something like a parking lot braai, that some or other shop does every n days/week/whatever, as a way to try pull more customers.
āFood truck cultureā is pretty much a hipsterism as far as I can tell. Itās a posh way of describing regular food of a sort that often gets sold from the back of a van everywhere except itās made by and for white people and costs twice as much. Their original purpose of selling affordable food reasonably quickly to workers who want some hot food instead of bringing their own lunch to work but donāt have a long enough break to go anywhere to eat was gentrified away a while back.
igwym (havenāt dealt with it myself but have seen the Named Famous Food Truck Enterprises phenomenon which sprung forth from that) but thatās not quite what I meant
we just donāt have food trucks here - we have some roadside spaza shops, interspersed on some more of the busier intersections of cities. largely these will be packets and produce. some of the ones in very high traffic areas might do hot/cooked foods, but off the top of my head I can only think of 4~5 places in my side of the city where these exist
(and since I figured this would be unfamiliar to anyone who isnāt from ZA, I briefly checked the internet to see whether thereās decent imagery to convey what I mean and ā¦ no. there is none. so I guess Iāll have to go create it)
