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.

    This wasnā€™t the first love triangle in the Heinlein residence (they had earlier been in a consensual threesome with L. Ron Hubbard)

          thereā€™s a friend of mine thatā€™s ex-scientology. didnā€™t get in if their own choice, but that of family. they got out before it could really get its claws into ā€˜em

          but the reason I bring this up is because itā€™s from said friend that I learned of the fact that we have a Hubbard museum house in ZA. it looks like an episode of TNG fucked a vintage porn set, and itā€™s preserved in that state

          I donā€™t have friends of such tendencies

          or, perhaps better stated, I am not aware that I have such friends. and sincerely hope to avoid learning that I do

          (e: this comment came first, and is why the other came to mind)

      If either of the parties involved were just about any other science fiction author, it would be the among the least damning things Iā€™ve heard of the other one, but it just had to be these two.
