Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

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.

Does TP0 have an point he's trying to push with this thread? It's disingenuous enough that it feels like there's an agenda, but at the same time what could the point even be? Fuck cancer patients?

Possibly anti-universal-healthcare fearmongering. This stat's been going around US conservative circles. And I even typed that before seeing the thread ended with:

Remember the lopsidedness of health spending and need when talking reform.

"Dear healthy people: don't let the sickly suck away all your money"

christ and it's always the fucking bad-faith bullshit arguments. I bet if you pulled another dimension to the same fucking numbers there you'd instantly find some Rather Interesting correlations with income brackets, and if you pulled a dimension for care/spend class you'd find Another interesting correlation

I wish these people just fucking wouldn't, gah

oh man i'd forgotten St Rev, a favourite minor nrx from the mid-2010s

I'd never heard of him. His latest tweet is complaining about the left wing slant on his thread and he says that you can't "get away from the culture war I guess". Yet every fifth post below is a rage post about libs and lefties.

I mean, you know what the point is.

It's eugenics. It's always eugenics.

Band I like accidentally purchases a poster design from a probable AI grifter. Here's their apology/acknowledgement post:

The poster in question:

I do not blame the band. I blame the AI person for being shit and passing off AI-generated shit as his own.

The upshot of this is that if acausalrobotgod ever gives us a time machine, you just need to plant one tree on your way to killing hitler, and you solve so many problems.
