Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

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 you’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 cut’n’paste it into its own post — there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high.

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)

Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

That couple update: That couple are being platformed again, this time on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

Is it just me or does she look tired? With how often they are in the news this is now something we can track. (Not a suprise btw, as she seems to do the cooking, the childcare, is pregnant again, and is playing dressup to troll the left).

Before I met Malcolm, I would do things like base jumping and skydiving ...

Also note it looks like the kitchen is too small, not sure the oven door can open all the way. Poor kids, esp as they want to get even more.

I cannot speak from experience, but I imagine having, raising, and face-slapping 4 (soon 5) kids is going to have some kind of toll on your general well-being.

Edit: also shit troll. Oh, you wear cosplay for media appearances? How anti-left. How will I ever recover

Yeah, esp when you live in a too small space, have to do most of the work, are getting death threats, and had to give up your hobbies. While your husband seems to do most of the ranting (but that could also be because of the patriarchal attitudes of the interviewers).

E: the troll has a bit of that cartoon where the guy is being laughed at for pissing himself and then goes 'ha, rentfree'.
