As suggested at this thread to general āyeah sounds coolā. Letās see if this goes anywhere.
Original inspiration:
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)
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to make it a post, thereās no quota here
I learned about this because someone dragged a copy to aellaās birthday orgy and it showed up in one of the photos, but the rationalists have a cards against humanity clone and it looks godawful
imagine someone pulls this out and you have no idea what it is. youāre kind of nervous and weirded out by the energy at this orgy but at least this will distract you. you look at your first card and it has a yudkowsky quote on it
one of the data fluffers solemnly logs me as ādid not finishā as I flee the orgy
Well, it will make your friends more Rationalist but not in the way they hope.
every card is a valuable lesson in how insufferable the Rationalists are
Yep thatās just as many WPC (words per card) that I was expecting
Jesus wept, that one deserves a thread of its own. I canāt remember the last time I winced this hard.
I propose a SneerClub game night where all we do is play rounds of this thing until we canāt handle any more of it
Having that much liquor on hold may need to be its own budget line item
dear fuck I found their card database, which doesnāt seem to be linked from their main page (and which managed to crash its tab as soon as I clicked on the link to see all the cards spread out, because lazy loading isnāt real):
e: somehow the cards get less funny the higher the funny rating goes
e2: thereās no punchability rating but itās desperately needed
Only cards that have incorrect punctuation should be considered funny, this is a clear violation of Rat Law. Big Yud will hear of this.
instantly tries to connect to port 3000 on load too, heh. looks like a diyolo socket.io implementation, badly done
is it truly that hard for people to configure websocket upgrades under a known url on their primary hosting endpoint
now you may think rationalists know anything about technology
new basilisk defense: only speak to it in websockets
Now I really wonder how much EA donation money went into making this.
ā¢ came in a deck of cards
Incredible, they just use the limerick that appears in the āExaggeration and distortion of mental changesā section of Phineas Gageās wikipedia article, uncritically.
