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 - this one was a bit late, I got distracted)
the richest boy in the world sued to stop The Onion from turning infowars into a parody of itself on the grounds that he thinks infowarsā twitter accounts shouldnāt be transferred as part of the bankruptcy even though thatās something that happens constantly and also wouldnāt impact the rest of the bankruptcy proceedings even if it were grounded in anything resembling fact
itās getting really hard to adequately describe how funny musk isnāt. itās not just try-hard shit like the weird sink thing, the soul-sucking cameos, or the fact that heās literally throwing his money into stopping a comedy site from existing ā itās everything taken as a whole. Iād call him anti-comedy, but heās so much less interesting than that implies
The Onion clowns on Olā Musky constantly, despite his efforts to shut them down. Around the peak space X buzz, they wrote a headline that was like āMusk invents the first infinitely divorceable wifeā, which he managed to scrub from the internet (or at least, I canāt find it within 5 seconds), but other than that, he can only cope and seethe. He knows the onion is funny and can do nothing to become funny himself.
I would label him as anti-humor or humorless. Dishumorous?
Musk is the most boring and pathetic kind of unfunny where he desperately wants to be in on the joke but is terrified that the joke is on him (because it is). Rather than accept this with any kind of humility he instead cannot accept the L and has basically spent all his vast money and power making that everyone elseās problem.
He is the worst mad scientist, ranting about how they called him mad when what we actually said was ālol u mad bro?ā
