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.

Reddit Comment with CAHās email to backers
The above Ars Technica article also lead me to this broader article (reuters) about SpaceXās operations in Texas. I found these two sentences particularly unpleasant:
Reading all of this also somehow makes Elon Muskās anti-immigrant tweets feel even worse to me than they already were.
Damn, 3 hours late to the party. Despite my disdain for their game, i can only recall enjoying CAHās liberal antics.
CAH is definitely a game you only play with people youāve known your whole life, isnāt it?
Once played with randoms at a hacker con and almost died of embarrassment.
Considering the style of humor they have and Musk tries to show, I do wonder how hurt Musk is over all this. And only a matter of time before his sycophants create āCAH is dyingā graphs and animal meme images with testicles.
