Want to wade into the snowy surf of the abyss? 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.
(2026 is off to a great start, isnāt it? Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)
The simplenote post from a VibeCamp attendee claimed that āprior to Scott Alexanderās articles on Desoxyn, virtually no one talked about microdosing methamphetamine as a substitute for Adderall,ā Any idea what post he was thinking of? Know Your Amphetamines - archive was from January 2021 so about the time VibeCamp got started.
The post is undated but mentions Hereticon in January 2022. Update: it links several more simplenote posts with statements like āItās 2022 as of the time of this writingā and āas of Mar 30 2022.ā The author lived in Austin when Aella was there. So it seems likely that the post about VibeCamp was written in 2022.
Update Again: the author posted to Substack under a meatspace name and linked āKnow Your Amphetaminesā. I donāt recommend reading the whole post, its just an unpleasant person with logorrhea unloading a stream of consciousness at unpleasant people.
My 9495 word screed about how I did meth before the cool kids and turned out fine is raising a lot of questions already answered by my 9495 word screed.
yeah thatās a classic
amazing
H2O2 is just water with an extra O.
Water 2.0, get on it or get left behind!
Rationalists š¤ Postrationalists Writing screeds about how following the advice of Internet posts and self-medicating with controlled substances can be good if you are very smart
I think thats Eiganrobotās wifeās gay escort ex.
Also had a beef with Aella when they were both in Austin!
They are not beating the allegations that a Postrationalist is a Rationalist who admits Yud is just a dude and their goals are religious goals.
Update: There is a partially cached Facebook post where MacDonald states what he claims is Eigenrobotās government name and says that Eigenrobotās ā(self admitted) BPD wife used to want to fuck meā (Google and Bing saved snippets, but do not share the full cache). That could have been what got him kicked out of VibeCamp for doxxing.
