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.
Wait, this guy published āis Nearā twenty years ago and then UNIRONICALLY published āis Nearerā?
Come the fuck on, this has to be satire?
The sequel to āApocalypse Nowā, āApocalypse Even More Presentlyā

Buy my new book āYouāre older than youāve ever beenā.
Twenty years pass
Buy my new book āAnd now youāre even olderā
iirc he predicted the singularity somewhere in 2040 so it does make sense, even if it looks weird.
Oh gosh, hopefully I live to see āSingularity Is Still Near, Just Not as Near as I Thought: Trust Me Brosā released in 2041
āSorry no singularity, climate change is an existential threat after allā.
(Iām bitterly reminded of the SSC post where he starts with āwhy donāt we hear about the ozone layer anymore, well the scientists fixed it!ā where he goes after the environmentalist movement. There is only one problem with the āwe fixed the ozone layerā thing. Butt wait, there is more!)
