Want to wade into the sandy surf of the abyss? 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 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.

Crypto Investor Proposes 450-Foot Statue of Greek God on Alcatraz Island is a story making the rounds in the press lately and aaaaaah I hate it. Iād say something more coherent than that but itās already given me quite a headache.
He has a personal website as well as a website for his stupid statue idea. Both of which are buggy / ugly ā apparently after saving $450 million for a dumb statue he has none left for good website coding.
Guy should just get āI love for-profit prisonsā tattooed on his face instead of dressing up an island in bad bioshock cosplay.
I propose a 450-foot-tall statue of the most famous parts of Kirk Johnsonās anatomy, facing southwest back towards the city

If theyāre going to make a 450 foot tall statue of Greek people I can think of more appropriate designs for San Francisco Bay.
āWe call this the Reacharound Collossiā
(thinks) The Colossus of Chodes

Tenner says he vibe-coded both of them himself. Manās a capitalist at heart, he thinks paying labour their fair due is an abomination unto God.
