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.
Hereās LWer ājohnswentworthā, who has more than 57k karma on the site and can be characterized as a big cheese:
āwhy do people keep saying we sound like fascists? I donāt get it!ā
āI feel not just their ineptitude, but the apparent lack of desire to ever move beyond that ineptitude. What I feel toward them is usually not sympathy or generosity, but either disgust or disappointment (or both).ā - Me, when I encounter someone with 57K LW karma
I guarantee that this guy thinks he could fight a bear.
My āI actually do not have empathyā shirt is ā¦
E: late edit, shoutout two whomever on sneerclub called lw/themotte an empathy removal training center. That one really stuck with me.
Empathy is when youāre disgusted by people you think are below you, right???
the kind of people who think ālook, no one said they donāt have empathy. they have empathy. Iāve seen it. itās at their house tied up in the basement. apparently they have some kind of thing going onā is a normal line
