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 believe it'll happen a bit later when david/self/blake are around
i completely forgot until i saw this comment
i've been running on adrenalin since thursday for reasons i'm not going into yet (started deeply fucked up, i'm smiling but i'm very fucking furious, may be resolving to less fucked up cross fingers, i'm smiling like that Ukrainian politician who made the phone video welcoming the Russian invaders into Hell) so expect nothing of me for a little while until all is more determinate
it's useful having a cowriter, we can cover for each other
sounds bad! hope all is ok

idk what this is but extremely funny image
this is just how I look
Are you a dad mid-squint, trying to visually discern something before giving up or putting on eyeglasses? Because the more I look at it, that’s the vibe I get from the pic
…I mean look, it’s not that I don’t like wearing my glasses, they’re just uncomfortable (because I don’t wear them)
Ghostbuster (1984) terror dogs, which because no IP can remain dead and nothing new can be created, have been reintroduced in the more recent ghostbuster movies.
See this clip (From 1984)
FYI this led to me watching the movie last night
It is a good movie. Also the best piece of propaganda the libertarians ever made. Justice for Peck!
E: "buu...buttt he shut down the machine!", yes, that wasn't great but the shutdown was inevitable, they were running a onetime payment business model with permanent containment costs via the high power usage and rent of the building (and this is ignoring the need of multiple storage facilities, as this one was already getting full). He just sped up the process, but prob prevented an even larger outbreak as the ghostbusters (who are not great with money) would have eventually not been able to pay the powerbill. Prob taking out more than just one building.
I blame new york lack of bears, the natural enemy of libertarians.
spoiler for Ghostbusters Frozen empire.
E2: apparently it gets even worse in the later movies, as the ghosts can escape from the containment units, it didn't even work! (Eurgh, they brought back the containment unit explosion, undead IP).Me watching ghostbusters
Which I think in turn means we can blame RFK Jr apparently!
It’s something strange. Maybe in this neighbourhood.

Something something ghostbusters
