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 cutā€™nā€™paste it into its own post, thereā€™s no quota for posting and the bar really isnā€™t that high

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many ā€œesotericā€ right wing freaks, but thereā€™s no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iā€™m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged ā€œculture criticsā€ who write about everything but understand nothing. Iā€™m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyā€™re inescapable at this point, yet I donā€™t see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnā€™t be surgeons because they didnā€™t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canā€™t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

    University President Carter holding up a ā€œbitcoinā€ in the part of the speech about the quarters

    Ayahuasca Intelligence

    Chris Pan on insta: Got some help from AI (Ayahuasca Intelligence) this week to write my commencement speech for 60k grads and family members at OSU next Sunday. We are in challenging times - wanted something extra heartfelt. (Tried Chat-GPT but wasn't that good lol). "They'd say this to you in Peru, you know: This is our university. You went to Harvard, we went to Ayahuasca." -- Terence McKenna

      Imagine going to university only to learn that the president falls for grifters that 10 year olds can detect.

      I often thing back about the smug coiners mocking the TSA agent looking for physical bitcoins on a pro bitcoin person, when they do stuff like put bitcoin data in actual coins or make bitcoin coins.

      (It does amaze me a little bit none of them seem to got that this was actually bad for bitcoin, as this just shows how hard to understand it all is for normal people, and them doing it themselves is just confusing more people intentionally)
