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 youāll 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 cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
i mean, i have a friend who is literally a UFO religion believer, but theyāre decent and politically good and trustworthy and present as normal-English, so
see occasionally you meet a UFO person and theyāre normal and you only find out about their interest in UFOs because itās the reason they want to get into radio or whatever and they want to see if you can recommend them a setup to communicate with satellites and other stuff in orbit. in effect, their UFO hobby is essentially a modified radio/birdwatching hobby thatās hopefully driving them to learn more about the world around them
but much more often you meet a UFO person and hear the absolute worst thing youāve heard all month while looking for an escape route, without making it too obvious because youāre fairly certain theyāre armed. they will later go on the internet and call you an NPC who refuses to wake up because you wouldnāt discuss lizard people with them.
you know, I donāt know if Iāve actually run into this kind of conversation. I donāt think I have. or if I almost did, I fairly likely applied a conversation logic-shortcircuit way before it got there (because of ambient red flag count). but fuck me, if I donāt know exactly the kind of person youāre referring toā¦ :|

ZA has many problems (and oh christ could I wax lyrical), but thank fuck I do not live in fucking eaglecountry
itās a whole fucked-up 'ole dynamic when you need to āwatch your backā in the most very literal sense because you didnāt eat some bozoās shit :|
