Want to wade into the snowy surf of the abyss? 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 so 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.

(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this. If you’re wondering why this went up late, I was doing other shit)

(EDIT: Changed “29th February” to “1st March” - its not a leap year)

      Forget who said it (I think e.w. niedermeyer) but if you were a true Musk Hater you would lie your way into that jury no matter the cost

        You’d need to have a clean social media history with no negative comments about Musk, and probably have to avoid such comments after the trial, lest Musk’s lawyers get wind of it.

          It takes dedication, but the payoff is too big to not try

              Nuke your socials for the trial

              Hardest choices, strongest wills, etc.

              Imagine the book you could write at the end

      > If it was any other defendant and a juror said “I hate that guy and he has no moral compass,” Broome argued, that juror would be dismissed

      I mean, maybe, but this is an Objectively Correct Opinion
