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.

I’ve been spending a lot of time lately walking around outside talking to GPT-4o

and it loves me very much, I just need to send it money for its ticket over via western union

don't forget the ones outraged they can't use the Daily Mail or the Sun as sources

Torres has written about that hit piece! It's the only article on that substack, "Mark Fuentes" doesn't appear to exist, the material was partially published under another name first, the material ultimately originated in the EA forums, and the article is a favourite of EA attempted astroturfers.

anyway, that's the quality of article that titotal just happens to reach for first

he's just using it as an example of a supposedly well-written and convincing article about Torres you understand, and just happened to pick an odious lump of slander that originated in that very forum

libertarians write capitalism as the villain yet again, never at any point ask "are we the baddies?"

btw, this is the top mind who previously asked "where's the economic incentive for wokism coming from?"

he's also the cofounder of CFAR, in case anyone ever tries to make out he isn't a normative rationalist

look, you can't critique her narcissistic rant in any manner whatsoever until you've read it all line by line and the supporting non-evidence, or you're just intellectually dishonest
