Want to wade into the snowy 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 youāll 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 cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned so many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this. If youāre wondering why this went up late, I was doing other shit)

So they already shipped ads in chatbots, transitively and accidentally. Canāt wait to see NordVPN, Raid, and Mr Beast chocolate on every SERP.

The blind leading the blind. Because so many stuff on yt is so bad.
(Recently the algorithm decided I wanted some analysis of Andor. And oof).
Which one? Mind sharing?
It wasnt just one like almost all of them were bad. The worst one was a vid where they went āthey did great things with colors, see how the rebels constantly wear yellow and red clothing to symbolize the fire of the rebellionā only half the outfits they called orange were just brown, and their supporting arguments on this from things which were said clearly were about other thematicnthings which they missed.
I purged them from my history to try and make the algo stop however.
Unrelated to that, also saw a guy do a deep dive on the themes of a movie (not andor). Only to admit he had only seen the movie once. Which is quite a thing to admit.
Oof, OK. I have seen some S1 Andor deep-dives in the past which were genuinely good. Havenāt watched anything on S2 yet, because I didnāt like it.
