Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? 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 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.
(Semi-obligatory thanks to @dgerard for starting this)
Iām sorry, ātime preferenceā? Is this piece of shit referring to Colored Peopleās Time as a scientific concept or am I missing something?
This is such a cursed tweet ughhhhh
I think that is a reference to the āeat 1 cookie now or wait, and get 2 cookiesā childrens thing. Racists refer to it often. (This also means the black eat the 1 cookie kids canāt build empires bla bla bla).
(when I search for the term on youtube, it instantly gave me a video linking it to cultural degeneracy for example. Really annoying you canāt block channels properly. Also the mises institute has a video on it)
Oh cool itās even worse then!
(This particular study, if there even is a real study, is infuriating because what itās really measuring is how much you trust a figure of authority to keep their promise. I wonder why black kids would have issues with this!)
Study finds greedy white children would rather have two fictitious cookies than one real one they can eat.
One weird trick explains venture capital!
Poor hungry kids also more likely to want to eat now than later. Big shocks, clearly this must mean the poor are deficient in some genetic way.
ā¦okā¦
Oh I see
The plot of Seveneves, but worse.
to the what now? What cursed horror beyond my comprehension am I going to learn today?
āBlack people are late sometimesā but in a racist way instead of a āRepent, Harlequinā kind of way.
White people are late sometimes tooā¦?
It goes back to the old āsteppin fetchitā racist charicature of the lazy black man, usually either enslaved or formerly enslaved depending on when weāre talking.
I recommend looking it up. I believe itās a term that has been reclaimed by Black people. Obama referenced it as CPT (in response to some other event) in his 2016 WHC dinner speech.
I hope at least CPT does not have daylightās savings
