Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid!

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.

    Having a bit of eye trouble, so please ignore any typos. Weird scratching feeling behind the eye, trying not to touch it.

    But yeah, isn’t that odd that we have not found any? Perhaps it is that if we see them they also see us ba… jesus my eye, fuck. Sorry. But yeah perhaps seeing goes both ways? And perhaps this is why we have not ‘found’ anything in exo-galactic searches, perhaps it is all a coverup, because we do not want to be seen in return.

    I mean, isn’t it also odd how important aliens, and the search of extraterrestrial life are in our culture but how few resources we actually put in finding them? Perhaps as soon as we spot something the searchers get shut down, or worse!

    (Don’t worry my eye is fine, I’m also not being serious, I was doing a bit inspired by the There is no Antimemetics Division SCP series. Now also in short clip form. CW a certain type of lovecraftian horror + memetics. Might not want to read it if you got freaked out by Rokos B, or weird horror in general).

      I have never been a huge fan of most of the scp stuff (not that it’s bad, it’s just not really my thing), but I have reread that series several times at this point, it’s so good!

        This story series has a lot more focus on people vs a dry procedural things focus as the normal scp stuff has, so not strange that this hits differently.
