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.

(Semi-obligatory thanks to @dgerard for starting this)

        You just might be a techbro if youā€™re worth billions and still canā€™t resist mouthing off on Xhitter.

          Mouthing off in a way that makes me go ā€˜ow god it IS all a scam and he knows it!ā€™ all hype and showmanship. I wonder if he practices this type of writing like this stance was also so obviously practiced.

          (When it all implodes and the final step of the grift is the drama movies about it, Iā€™m at least happy that Rick Gomez will make a passable Sam Altman (No idea why that blog didnā€™t use a normal picture of Sam, but they decided to put Sam and Rick in the teleporter))
