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.

there’s nothing I hate more than when people who hate chatbots flood me with chatbots
e: please stop sending soldiers from your anti-war militia to fight me
actually that sounds like a metal gear plot point I’d overexplain while intoxicated
Honestly I would love to hear someone try to explain the Metal Gear story while drunk.
…No no no you see the Patriots are actually the AI reconstitutions of Plasma Snake’s old boy scout troop from the like the 80s, Shadow Moses, and they really liked (hic) Gundam and then…
…But see, they actually didn’t even like all the wars and stuff even though they were making all kinds of money and explosions, so Raiden - oh and he’s a robot now but it’s cool he gets a dog - has to figure out what’s going on but then it’s all “The good old days after 9/11” ha ha ha…
“games explained badly, the podcast” sounds like it has phenomenal potential for pissing off just about the entire gamersphere
I’m down
I’m so down for this I might unbury my good microphone
“and then Dick Cheney appears and that’s the final boss and he beats your ass. no, not a character based off of Dick Cheney…”
