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.
I found the most HN comment of all time:
Optimizing mating strategies? But I’m terrible at chess!
please tell me the topic was repopulating endangered species of animals
oh who the fuck am I kidding, it’s the orange site
we’re talking about the endangered species of white cishet males here please don’t demean this important topic with jokes
Edit I wish I was joking but a luser with a classical Greek-ish handle replies
What most of the orange site frequenting men do is indeed irrelevant, though for different reasons than they think.
Some nerds found the r/K selection strategy wikipedia pages.
That’s the state of the job market these days: even the pick-up artists have STEM degrees.
