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 you’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 cut’n’paste it into its own post — there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high.

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)

Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

      “Inexplicable Cimmerian Vibes” is the name of my next band.

      Bonus points if this turns out to be the output of an LLM trained by phrenologists.

      omg, next time my wife asks me how she looks, I’m definitely dropping that “legible magyar admixture”

      Edit: Didn’t work. She started talking about how in the old country, the Hungarians chased her family out of the village for being religious minorities. I give this approach 0 bags of popcorn and a magen david.

          When you really want to confuse your astronomy post-doc partner.

          EDIT: I’ve been reliably informed that that’s too many Messier objects.

      That’s certainly one approach to commenting on someone’s picture. Pretty sure it’s better to stick with the standard “Wow! 😍😍😍” but this certainly sticks out from the crowd?

          In particular she felt like Anna, whom she’d been closest with, was being dishonest about what they hoped to achieve with this whole project. Sanje further alleged that Anna’s good standing largely stemmed from her incomprehensibility, because people don’t have a clue what this is actually all about. Possibly Anna doesn’t, either.

          I got as far as “Dimes Square bohemians” in the fourth sentence before realizing that everything in that article I recognized, I would regret.

          Haela Hunt-Hendrix, the singer from the black metal band Litvrgy, was one of the principal organizers of this “symposium.” […] Besides making music, she seems to be interested in esoteric religious themes, numerology, and Orthodox iconography. In any case, Hunt-Hendrix claimed that Anna was stealing her ideas and twisting them in a “cryptofascist” manner.

          Oh no! How could she!

            Oh my god I only now notice the title is a reference to Tiqqun’s Preliminary Materials For a Theory of the Young-Girl, this is like a supercollision of dumbfuck cryptoreactionary nonsense I’ve obsessed over.

          Hegelian e-girls’ VIP “symposium”

          Excuse the rather formal philosophical latin but qvid in fvck?

          I tried looking through the post to find out what possibly they could have to do with Hegel and found

          Thankfully, Matthew shared the Googledoc the e-girls had sent him with their prepared remarks. My commentary over the next several paragraphs will only make sense if you read over them (they’re mercifully short), so I’d urge everyone to open up the hyperlink and give it a quick look.

          Okay, first of all, it’s like 5 pages, “mercifully short” lol, go take a hike. Second,

          Concrete philosophizing means applying insight to the alchemical transformation of everyday life.

          This is in the first paragraph. I feel like reading this would make me devolve into an entire day of incoherent screaming and I have enough respect for my coworkers and loved ones to not subject them to that
