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.

    Saw an unexpected Animatrix reference on Twitter today - and from an unrepentant promptfondler, no less:

    animatrix promptfondler

    This ended up starting a lengthy argument with an “AI researcher” (read: promptfondler with delusions of intelligence), which you can read if you wanna torture yourself.

      yes. that’s all true, but academics and artists and leftists are actually calling for Buttlerian jihad all the time. when push comes to shove they will ally with fascists on AI

      This guy severely underestimates my capacity for being against multiple things at the same time.

        The type of guy who was totally convinced by the ‘but what if the AI needs to generate slurs to stop the nukes?’ argument.

      Guy invented a new way to misinterpret the matrix, nice. Was getting tired of all the pilltalk
