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 so 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.
(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this. Also, hope you had a wonderful Valentineās Day!)
Absolutely demented piece.
Yeah not even halfway in and it is just madness. Also not unlikely the Roy guy just made things up.
Guess the author didnāt think of asking about the inconsistencies in the mans story cause they both bonded over disliking unhoused people. (The horrible unhoused people who mumble incoherently vs the chad founder who shouts āwill you be a cofounder with me?ā at people).
But nope just post the blackpillers words uncritically. Do not mention that this bold truthteller who doesnt like to be told what to do or he gets enraged spend a year at home to save his parents business (and admits to that damaging their business).
Is he? Or is he just calling himself that. Claiming to be a Rationalist is easier than actually doing it of course.
Only for the outgroup. (Saying this in relation to Scott āSecret NRxā/āI didnt read the book I reviewedā is something).
Might want to reflect on that a bit. And why this is more a pr piece than journalism. (Did he even check all these people got kicked out of their highschools?)
Re donald boat.
Why didnāt people just block him? Why doesnt the author talk about this?
This explains, the author wants to be them.
At first I read the article like the author was trying to display how ridiculous these people are by just repeating what they say. I guess this is like some people reading Ayn Rand works under the impression that theyāre satire.
The start with the weird bit against people with mh issues had me on edge already, and when he let all the āthese things are for women/my exā stuff slide, I was not thinking good things of the author.
Note how nobody he talks to seems to be a woman, despite all the techbros talking about women quite often.
(The authors apparent metoo history comes as no shock (I didnt look into that so dont quote me on that)).
Or just, yāknow, Alex Karp
The way these people can just hang their asses out and lie continuously is something humanity is going to have to fuckin handle at some point.
It drives me up the fucking wall.
