Want to wade into the snowy 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.

Damn, I missed this and now the comment is deleted. Do you happen to remember what he said?
I believe he was trying to explain why it looked like MIRI had paid money out to an alleged sexual abuser. The analogy was constructed something like this:
Donāt blame me or how I remembered this if this doesnāt make sense.
Additionally he said something to the effect of I donāt blame you for not knowing this, it wasnāt effectively communicated to the media like itās no big deal, which isnāt really helping to beat the allegations of donāt ask donāt tell policies about SA in rat related orgs.
Can confirm. This was like if the pope walked into an r/atheism meetup and showed his texts saying ādw bro, Iāll just move you to a different diocese, btw this totally isnāt about the allegations wink winkā
