"totally not a cult" says leader of group that milks rubes for large sums of money to place them in isolated environs with extremely atypical lifestyle facilities

one moment you're paying rent, the next moment you're an "attendee"

zero mention of what kinds of infrastructure is available

And we have plenty of day passes for visitors.

day... passes... to ~~summer~~ brainwash camp. which I bet there will be an application process and "admin" for

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.

ah yes quillette, that fine bastion of whitewashing

the best-researched article I know of on gender differences in chess

just.... the absolute weirdest thing to pick? like, fucking seriously? or is there some weird-ass chess proxy-fixation among the rats that I have thus far been blessedly unaware of?

I've barely started reading and I'm deep in wtfs. this is such a weird hitpiece.

subheading: A love story

opener: Note: I am closer to this story than to many of my others

@dgerard "congratulations" on your new stalker

[-] froztbyte@awful.systems 23 points 4 months ago

you can unsubscribe. that's allowed.

Unfortunately in this case the problem is you (as a non-frequenter of this sub (which is explicitly about dunking on these fools)) coming in with no context, although I’d agree with you in principle otherwise

Also it sounds like that game-EA thing could do with a sneer on techtakes

there is some strong copium in the article, combined with a total description of having a massive gambling addiction without, y’know, actually realising it’s an addiction

remarkable stuff

also capitalizes a couple other racial group references when the mood strikes, all "tactically" used/chosen

the amount of effort you have to expend just to hate that specifically.... fucking mental

all I'm reading here (admittedly between the lines) is that they have a whole bucketload of new PE/life-extending/... compounds they wish to test en masse but not on themselves

I wonder how right that guess will turn out to be
