Need to make a primal scream without gathering 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 facts of Awful youā€™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 cutā€™nā€™paste it into its own post ā€” thereā€™s no quota for posting and the bar really isnā€™t that high.

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many ā€œesotericā€ right wing freaks, but thereā€™s no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iā€™m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged ā€œculture criticsā€ who write about everything but understand nothing. Iā€™m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyā€™re inescapable at this point, yet I donā€™t see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnā€™t be surgeons because they didnā€™t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canā€™t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

    fucking amazing. like, I shouldnā€™t be surprised they deployed a bunch of embedded devices without a sensible way to rotate keys OTA, but itā€™s always fun to watch a circus act

      itā€™s almost like, irunno, maybe you could say Iā€™ve thought this through! only maybe tho. Iā€™m not backed by decamillions+ vc dollaridoos, so who can tell whether I know what Iā€™m doing, amirite

          thatā€™s what makes it even better - from the ā€œself-custody of keys!!! your own credentials! v v v v v importants!ā€ world, these dipshits still had no clue

          just truly awe-inspiringly terrible
