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, and happy 4th July in advance.)
Via (she also predicted it): Bryan Johnson gave himself a incurable disease.
Welcome to the age of Oceangatelikes.
E: He blames it on eating sugar as a kid. AI will fix it.
iām sure this guy will have a sane, healthy and self-compassionate attitude to disability and long-term illness.
that could be any of who knows how many untested things he tried over years
ādonāt dieā - famous last words
e: this is also sorta why clinical trials are a thing, and why so often thereās recommendation to not treat disease at all, and why you leave that call to a professional, not decide on your own. especially when your own education is MBA from BYU
update 2: bluesky people say he also ate rapamycin then stopped; also dried cow thyroid; got some unapproved āanti-aging gene therapyā in honduras; probably among many other unusual things. he wonāt be even useful as a case study because deconvoluting all this nonsense would be impossible. maybe as an example
man they really do like reinventing alchemy, did anyone suggested cinnabar yet? i guess him blaming sugar for it might be beginning of new grift
Between this and Elonās sad AI birthday party pics, I came to the conclusion that the default consensus for anything someone whoās wealth exceeds a certain amount says should be ruled horseshit with no further verification needed. Yeah, occasionally there will be a pony under all that shit but it aināt worth digging for when itās there.
Anyways, calling horseshit on this because even if parts of it arenāt, they arenāt important compared to the greater horseshit coming from a guy who has an autoimmune disease like Bryan Johnson, that disease being āeverything out of Bryan Johnsonās mouth is horseshitā
I missed those pics.
Me too. Saved future readers a search
Elonās sad birthday pics he posted using his sock puppet account where he pretends to be his mom should be a top level comment here, also is hilarious but sad.
thank you for saving me a search
and even then I regret looking
Thanks, I am however one of those annoying people who doesnāt think he runs his moms account. (We knew his alts due to a lawsuit and how posting screenshots of his setup, and his mom (and that random dude he was accused of being) are not on them, and both have always been weird posters).
Soesnt change the sadcringe.
Itās both less sad because heās probably not completely LARPing as his entire family on twitter, but also more sad because thatās his actual mother who couldnāt be arsed to actually be present and decided to slop it up for social media clout instead.
@Soyweiser @BlueMonday1984 aah yes years of sketchy medical interventions, no couldnāt be that, it was that time he ate froot loops
I guess the silver lining here is that āhis teamā might accidentally discover some actual way to help sufferers of this disease? Unlikely, but stranger things have happened.
The right to bodily autonomy includes doing incredibly dangerous/untested shit to your body that will hurt you until you die; but it does not include posting through it (that is that secondary right to free expression, which also allows us to point and laugh).
Anyway, gg Johnson, maybe one day youāll realize we are all tiny sparks trapped in decaying bags of flesh and the only thing that matters is what we do with that.
BRYAN JOHNSON: transhumanist body hacker, fucks self up and dies by 50
HUNTER BIDEN: subsists on crack and hookers, will live to 100
move fast and break yourself!
@dgerard all due respect Hunter has said heās something like 7 years clean so power to him.
And his social media posts are fantastic.
*The PR firmās tweets
@schnoopy hell of a PR firm to tweet crack smokin
Look up the history of snarky millenial advertising. Everything online is constructed as hell lol
If it is a firm I hope theyāre getting some good word of mouth on the back-end because theyāre on point.
