(I get the feeling we're close to this bubble's end.)

Anyways, 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 soo 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.

(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)

Crypto foundation demanded employees endorse suicide pledge, then fired leaders who objected, Colorado lawsuit alleges

Authors, maintainers, editors and distributors of “this software” would pledge to ensure the software remained free and publicly accessible, and would also vow to “take his or her own life with a sword upon failure to uphold any of the pledges in this license,” the illustration read. It was labeled “Source Seppuku License,” an apparent reference to a traditional Japanese ritual suicide.

me, 6:00am on a Sunday: "Maybe this week everybody will act completely normal"

me, 6:05am very same Sunday: "No, you're right. that was a very naive thought"

I don't actually care about the spying (in fact I hope china owns the usa and installs a puppet regime so usaians get to experience it for once (not actually, but I would strongly enjoy a collapse of the empire)) but my god the jokes are hilarious.

You reckon you keeps the leather jacket on to hide hickies?

We must continue to invest trillions of dollars in data centers or else we will get beat off by the Chinese.
