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.

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.)

e: on second thought Iām being unfair ā he owns the conferences and the compiler spec process too
I didnāt think today was gonna be a day where Iād read about sounding then breaking glass rods but here we are.
itās an unhinged story he keeps telling on the orange site too, and I donāt think heās ever answered some of the obvious questions:
maybe this is a cautionary tale about telling your kids cautionary tales
maybe itās a mutation of a story on how breakup of yugoslavia started (nsfw)
