Want to wade into the sandy 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 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 so 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.
(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)

Lolwut.
And then some grown-ass adult answering in all seriousness:
What the hell?!
Go buy yourself a freaking tamagotchi, boys! You’ll learn to practise a modicum of care for something.
FFS, this timeline is the absolute dumbest…

I find it absolutely fascinating how the LLM prayers resemble ritual incantations to invoke divine powers from various ancient religions.
Someone says that the first lines of that prompt remind her of the hymns she used to sing in her old church, and its also similar to Azande sorcery in Sudan in the 1930s.
@CinnasVerses
There’s similar language in basically every occult system as well.
@munin @sansruse @BlueMonday1984
lol, now that you mention it.
Same shit, different millennium.
@avuko @sansruse @BlueMonday1984
Except the prayers to Thoth are a bit more respectful, lol.
