Want to wade into the sandy 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.

Edit: It only just now occured to me that hesā probably whining about generative AI rather than an army of superintelligent robots marching across the earth transing people, but Iām leaving my comment.
when the drugs arenāt hitting quite right he must really be a huge doomer about the far right cause
maybe he should just do the thing right now and not have to see this horrible future
Before you lay two paths, one path leads to becoming transperclips, and the other truthperclips. Choose wisely modern man.
A spectre is haunting Silicon Valley. The spectre of getting force-femmed by diamondoid bacteria.
Incoming Y: The Last Man reboot
Dissatisfyingly decontented, similar to the other Model Ys heās selling
The underlying anxiety on exhibit here compels me to think that the rumors about the botched, ahem, enhancement surgery are substantially true
