Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting 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 Awful you’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 cut’n’paste it into its own post — there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high.

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)

Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

(Semi-obligatory thanks to @dgerard for starting this.)

I ended up on Know Your Meme because folks are throwing around TPOT like we’re all terminally online and all understand Twitter lingo.

For anyone else confused: that part of Twitter. It’s techbro “phillosophists” like Peter Thiel.

Good that you explain it, lot of people here are basically amateur TPOT/lesswrong watchers so we forget this isn’t standard lingo. If you have ever seen us post about eigenrobot that is part of tpot iirc.

If Marc Andressen gets in some sort of public trouble, could we call it the TPOT-Dome Scandal?
