Is there a term for something more trivial than a first world problem? Like "eww, my phone sucks because it takes kinda grainy selfies"? German words are acceptable.

There are words that relay the extreme gravity of a crime. Words like 'rape', 'murder', 'incest' and 'extortion' all have a visceral sense of how bad an act is.

If only we could determine a word like that for ''.

Words '' and '' are too weak. The term '' is not bad but has other meanings.

If 'usury' is for loanSharks — how about ''?

Or something named after the — like ''?

A lot of starting out on a new platform is grabbing that short window of to yell:

"!!"

And find one's before it's too noisy.

I'm one of those people who, due to my privileges, can step out of my echo chambers and discuss things with those who hold different values. But only when I choose to.

So if you are, or into, any of the following, please say hi!

And yes, _yesteryesterday_ was my shitty attempt at coining an word equivalent to the word _anteontem_ meaning the day before yesterday.

I did this to save characters.

But on a second thought foreyesterday and anteyesterday were probably better candidates.

@design_law Perhaps "grandparented in"?

"sortire", noun. A statement made for the purpose of satire. Sort of.
