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 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.
(Semi-obligatory thanks to @dgerard for starting this.)

TWG: is a good reminder that atrocities donāt come from convenient avatars of all I oppose
Random bluecheck: On the contrary, this just reaffirms my biases that e/accs and AGI race-promoters are the source of every bad thing in the world.
TWG: was he e/acc?
We are in the āhe only followed some e/acc, he never said he was e/accā phase. Wonder what his manifesto will say.
this whole exchange is so beautiful i love these stupid fucking idiots WHY ARE THEY EVERYWHERE
That conversation reads like from a variation of Mafia/Werewolf where you have to figure out who in your circle of rationalists is secretly e/acc and wants to build the torment nexus.
The man who hypes up that higher intelligences can figure out laws and rules from data quicker and more thoroughly than lower intelligences defending e/acc accounts by going āwell they never openly advocated for killing, so this is not a valid concernā. Did he forget he advocated for bombing datacenters? Guess he never read any science fiction where āārationalā leader accidentally inspires murderous cultā, By The God Emperor, somebody should write a science fiction novel about that. (E: hell, does he even get what accellerationism implies? Somebody reading between the lines and going šµ 'So let the games begin, A heinous crime, a show of force, A murder would be nice of courseāšµ is not out of the question).
bwahahaha āmost reasonable operationalizations; conditional upon being e/acc.ā Why does this person make me think of nasal, vaguely whiny prequel Spock?
āTensor Templarā lmao. Hey buddy, what did the Knights Templar do, besides banking?
Hopefully it elaborates on whatever the fuck this is:
If we couldnāt react with āwake up babe, new copypasta just droppedā or ātag yourself, Iām the false fitness signal in the maid cafĆ©ā, we couldnāt react to a lot of life.
being performatively worried about Japanese birth rates is a HN trope, for whatever thatās worth
being performatively worried about maid cafes specifically is absolutely a new one on me
Pretty sure this person has been watching a lot of very inappropriate anime
i thought for some time now that problems with japanese society are things like stifling conformism, ridiculous degree of nationalism and sexism, how they are functionally an one-party state or stiff strictly hierarchial relationships that appear out of nowhere the entire time. but yeah definitely this seed oils level of conspiracy thinking is accepted truth on eacc twitter
it also sounds extremely specific
I dont know enough about Japan, but is it just me or is that a very specific fleshlight gripe? E: yes, I guess, this means Iām tagging myself as the fleshlight or something.
Menawhile: tenga stock prices soar because apparently their toys are so good that a guy was willing to kill for them to be banned
This reminded me that TWG has a Twitter account. I could have done without that reminder.
No, you embossed carbuncle. Apartheid boy was evil all along; you were just too media-illiterate to see through the propaganda.
The left made him call that guy a pedo in 2018, and tell his first wife he was the alpha in the relationship in 2000. Thanks Obama.
E: forgot about the āim actually a socialist, but with a more capitalist characterā tweet
Thobama.
The left did not push Elon Musk away. The left has fundamentally different interests and values to the billionaire and alleged rapist.
