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 youāll 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 cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

Ow boy do I have some stories for you about his takeaways from other media he consumed. For example, and a worse take.
(There was also a take which I remember where he mentioned that in the Culture humans are basically pets of the AIs (which is mentioned in the books yes, but only by the people who are anti/sceptical of The Culture, The Culture itself makes it pretty clear they are not pets. (In the last book they even seem to fulfill some more vital role in keeping the AIs sane, and people have full autonomy in a way that pets never do)). Couldnāt find this take sadly. As everything is now about the Haitian pets thing (erugh, racist shits), and also this āhumans are petsā thing is an not uncommon misreading of people reading the culture novels).
āutopian anarchistā I assume means āit would be nice in theoryā.
Nah, his ego is big enough that heās probably some version of the an-cap, with a personal political based in āI could give everyone this utopian world if the government and the āwoke mobā and the labor organizers would just get out of my way.ā
fucking hell how are Muskās Banks takes even worse than I remember? that was the point where I realized I hated the fucker so youād think thereād be nothing left to feel rage over but no, Musk corpsefucking Iainās memory once he was too dead to tell Musk to go fuck himself is absolutely doing it
