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 youā€™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 cutā€™nā€™paste it into its own post ā€” thereā€™s no quota for posting and the bar really isnā€™t that high.

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many ā€œesotericā€ right wing freaks, but thereā€™s no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iā€™m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged ā€œculture criticsā€ who write about everything but understand nothing. Iā€™m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyā€™re inescapable at this point, yet I donā€™t see them mocked (as much as they should be)

Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnā€™t be surgeons because they didnā€™t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canā€™t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

    ā€œHey you said I maybe killed 5 children with murder drones on a mountain could you maybe not?ā€

    Oh gosh thatā€™s such a corporate response.

        itā€™s absolutely fucked that the grammar and tone of Googleā€™s response is so casual, and the proposed non-solution is so worthless, the whole post looks like parody ā€” I was convinced @sailor_sega_saturn@awful.systems must have been paraphrasing til I saw the screenshot of the original post and found out it was just a straight copy and paste

        sorry you didnā€™t like that we implied youā€™re a child murderer. no takesie-backsies though! fill out this form we wonā€™t read if youā€™re really sure you didnā€™t like our fun experiment!

        I wonder if giving responses so fucking ridiculous they look like a joke is a tactic on Googleā€™s part to make complaints about the shit theyā€™re doing look ridiculous and overdramatic by association
