Want to wade into the snowy surf of the abyss? 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 you’ll 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 cut’n’paste it into its own post — there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned so many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

@rook @BlueMonday1984 Android has asked me daily to update to v.14 for about 7 months.
I’ve said no every day, and it seems it’s a very small price to pay :-)
I’m sure not updating your OS will save you from all security exploits, that’s a sound strategy
@V0ldek Meanwhile I try not to be sure of anything, but I reasonably confident that “sarcasm is the lowest form of wit”.
I understand a reasonable amount about exploits, but I’ll keep your comment in mind.
Don’t know who the source of this quote is but it sounds like cope by someone bad at sarcasm ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
