Want to wade into the snowy 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.

A half dozen people might still be reading hackernews on punchcards so they ha-
ve no choice but to argue about how to shorten ālongā titles every day.
Good to know that Orange Website is being considerate of us VT220 users. I knew there was a reason why mine has the amber phosphorus.
I went down a punch-card history rabbit hole today on the empirical software engineering discord. TIL:
We have been living in a world 10 columns too short. Think of all the HN headlines we could have had insteadā¦
I imagine it was like VHS vs Beta only with pocket protectors.
HACK THE PLANET
Lot of roguelike development in the past was still obsessed with that. Was a bit amusing, think even they have dropped this now.
