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.

Thanks. Not as many interesting details as Iād hoped. The comments are great thoughā¦ today I learned that the 2008 crash was entirely the fault of the government who engineered it to steal everyoneās money, and the poor banks were unfairly maligned because some of them had Jewish names, but the same crash definitely couldnāt happen today because the stifling regulatory framework stops it? And bubbles donāt exist anymore? I guess I just donāt have the brains (or wsj subscription) for high finance.
Ah just what we need, while the people who donāt understand soft power are busy reducing an empire to a kingdom (before āgotchaā people come in here, please donāt confuse the leftwing demands that the US stops doing evil things with the US should stop doing things, I actually do not like tuberculosis), growth hack mindset people are killing the goose because golden eggs.
