Trump apologetics doesn't really make the bar here. Hopefully you will find a sub that is more accepting of whatever your condition is.

Neopets but it's an animated blob of cum with a smiley face.

I've met Vinay, he's great in person. But should not post.

 

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.

because they cribbed their ideas from deathnote, and they're stupid

[–] dgerard@awful.systems 11 points 1 month ago

oh yeah that was obvious when you see who they are and what they do. also, one of the large opensource projects was the lesswrong site lololol

i'm surprised it's as well constructed a study as it is even given that

[–] dgerard@awful.systems 4 points 1 month ago

wonder if that's why they tried and failed to change it to "squiggle maximizing"

the comments are wild "yes good post having my brain taken over by a superintelligent autocomplete is a reasonable concern"
