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 cutānāpaste it into its own post, thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high
The post Xitter web has spawned soo 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.
That āonly show authors confirmed comingā button. Wtf lol.
Surprised and a bit disappointed to see patio11 attending. Gwern isnāt though, lol.
Iām a bit surprised to see his name. I read āSeeing like a bankā and snippets of a few other blogposts, he didnāt come off as a ghoul
itāll be interesting to see his reaction to the room full of race scientists. I wonder how well they can hide their power level.
suspicion: this is a recruitment event, and a lot of people might try to be on their best obfuscatory behaviour
I have my own thoughts on the guy, but I figured Iād send a mail and ask about his reasons. letās see I guess
A phrase that gains a completely different meaning once one notices that aella is attending.
Wait what she is also attending? Wait, no of course she is, and also lol.
preview:
reality:
āhow to inflate your event by pretending thereās more to itā (tbh i wouldnāt mind if esr would inflict his pleasant personality on that crowd; and of course the renowned philosopher agnes callard will attend)
Yeah that was exactly what I meant amazing bullshit
ESR hasnāt blogged for ages,no? I believe his old blog was offline for a long time because lack of TLS/backup or something.
It got a malware infection and nobody bothered fixing it. By the end its commenters were enjoying long threads entirely composed of dogwhistles.
Wildbow: āyou know the Empire 88 and the biotinkers were bad guys in Worm rightā
