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 ā€œesotericā€ right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged ā€œculture criticsā€ 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.

(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)

    Yud:

    ChatGPT has already broken marriages, and hot AI girls are on track to remove a lot of men from the mating pool.

    And suddenly I realized that I never want to hear a Rationalist say the words ā€œmating poolā€.

    (I fired up xcancel to see if any of the usual suspects were saying anything eminently sneerable. Yudkowsky is re-xitting Hanania and some random guy who believes in g. Maybe he should see if the Pioneer Fund will bankroll publicity for his new book…)

      Good news for women, less risk of the pool needing to be drained because someone crapped in it again.

      Can’t remove them if they were never in it.

      Wasn’t the ā€œproblemā€ that there’s too many men in the mating pool and women are ā€œalphamaxxingā€ or whatever the fuck to get the highest quality dick? Shouldn’t this be a good thing for incels like Hanania.

      mating pool

      probably on par with the other stuff you might see at a rationalist poly compound
