Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending Sunday 05 May 2024 - eviltoast

Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid!

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, 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.

    the imagery (in the article) is also amazing, itā€™s like if someone took all the images of Civ leader dialogue screens as source material for direct replication ā€œinspirationā€

        Python? I have rooted it, and the vatican is now mining bitcoin for me. (oddly, they already had a full mining kit installed, no idea how this P0P3 guy was, but took all his butts).

        E: why is Chris Hansen at my door?
