Want to wade into the sandy 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.
(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)
who gets the California accents though
That hegemonizing swarm outbreak would do nicely imho
The Affront are literally the colonial British, so theyāre easy
@dgerard And The Empire of Azad was basically modern western imperialism writ large.
subtlety is wasted on most readers
@dgerard See also Dilbert Starkās drone ship names ā¦
I posit the Culture having the Californian accents, because theyāre liberal colonialism writ large but theyāre nice about it, until they arenāt
christ these people are so bad at reading things
Bezos loves the Culture too, and you can be sure he and Musk identify with the Minds
