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 youā€™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 cutā€™nā€™paste it into its own post ā€” thereā€™s no quota for posting and the bar really isnā€™t that high.

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many ā€œesotericā€ right wing freaks, but thereā€™s no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iā€™m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged ā€œculture criticsā€ who write about everything but understand nothing. Iā€™m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyā€™re inescapable at this point, yet I donā€™t see them mocked (as much as they should be)

Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnā€™t be surgeons because they didnā€™t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canā€™t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

      Competitive college admissions and tech-industry hiring practices really have done permanent damage to these people, havenā€™t they

      TL;DR:

      AI will take over the economy for reasons so humans will have no economic value for reasons which is terrifying for reasons and also we canā€™t just have males sitting around because yā€™know so we need to make a pretend economy because communism. So anyway yā€™know PageRank? Well donā€™t be shocked but humans have relationships too. So yeah basically letā€™s distribute ownership of all the worldā€™s resources once a month proportionally to how many likes they receive (no I am not a vtuber why do you ask?).

      What the heck did I just read?
