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.
David may have won the race, but I have the first sneer!
Parents weep because making good products is insufficiently profitable.
A friend of mine recently had a kid and gave the snoo a good review. If it’s really that good a product, it should be nationalised in the name of public health.
Apparently that's what the company wants too.
Although putting your progeny into a device named for a Reddit avatar is questionable behavior.
Oh for real? A company that wants to yeet itself into the arms of the government? Big if true.
Yes the name sucks. Considering the gamut of cringe reddit exhibitionism that’s out there, this is a probably within a few notches of all the narwhal stuff.
I'm sorry but did the company not have anyone in their org who has had kids???
Bassinets are, as mentioned, used for 5-6 months. Reselling expensive baby gear that's only used for the first months of infancy is very common. Established companies, like those making baby carriages or car seats, know this and make their money upfront at purchase time, ~~preying on~~relying on ~~baby-brained~~doting parents with more money than sense to buy the latest and greatest.
The people designing this product and/or their financiers should be ashamed of themselves.
Or they could have open-sourced the protocol and relied on dudes like this one to keep it going:
