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 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.)
our favorite techno-fascist hacker has posted a plea for money to buy a house in the most expensive place in the world and to exclusively fly around in private jets because sheās the best at writing code to multiple matrices and everyone has been so unjustly mean to her. https://justine.lol/animus/
by āculture warsā she means sheās a fucking nazi
hmm, looking at the text you link it says āyour past statements in Twitterā first. could it be they found out youāre a fucking nazi
also youāre shocked, shocked to find that 4chan people are assholes. you hang out there for hours at a time. probably just coincidence.
Tunney has deleted the post already! But thereās a archive and another one
āThis has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.ā
I have been helpless with giggles for five fuckinā minutes.
she badly underestimates my capacities as a hater
Prometheus a technologist? No he was a social media user.
"prometheus: hot take,
the greek gods: no give that back"

Also you do care just not in the way she hopes.
i donāt think she should be allowed to say āthe ghetto.ā doesnāt matter whether itās problematic when someone else says it, she definitely doesnāt get to
Why doesnāt she just ring up Peter Thiel. She seems like just the type of person heād love to donate some Thiel bucks to.
@TinyTimmyTokyo
He probably hates trans people.
Does not seem uncommon under a subset of very privileged white gay men. So not shocked if Thiel does.
donāt give them ideas
Gestural Bayesianism!
Hold on whilst I update towards the hypothesis that bayes for these people is just a syllable they emit when they talk about forming opinions.
Iām pretty sure that this was triggered by Rich Felker (
musl) telling her to go away last week. Sheās finally asked a search engine for her legacy; previously, on Awful, we discussed the degree to which sheās done this to herself by loudly espousing corporate fascism.From the linked post:
Fuuuuck off
This improves dramatically if you read it in the voice of Wayne Newtonās televangelist character from License to Kill (1989).
Grifting off the United Statesā escalating institutional abuse of trans people is a special kind of ghoulish.
Thats a trap if I ever saw it.
Deleted, but the archive remembers

Speaking of HN, hereās the discussion there: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48314875
btw, when normal people read that someone has a lien on their income from the state of New York, they donāt assume itās because sheās a brave truth-talker being oppressed by the Man, they assume she canāt fucking handle her finances and they should be really careful donating money to her.
Thereās gold in them comments:
Ha ha no itās because she went fash, you credulous dork
Friedrich Nietzche has been a disaster for the human species.
@sinedpick
yikes
I never heard of Justine Tunney before but she has a Wikipedia page.
by her own admission, most of the work that went into it was deciding whether or not she should have one.
damn she got one-shot by curtis yarvinās R.A.G.E. meme, and loved eric schmidt enough to want him to be her king. i donāt even know what to say. the human mind is an incredible thing
It is now 404-ing; an archive copy is available here.
