Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

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 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.

that couple

I hate that I know what is being talked about the instant I see it.

Also, they've appeared on 3 separate top posts in the stubstack this week, so yeah another PR blitz. I find it kind of funny/stupid the news media can't even bother to find a local eugenicist couple to talk to. I guess having a "story" served up to you is enticing enough to utterly fail to provide pushback or question if the story is even relevant to your audience in the first place.

Varför måste vi lyssna på det här skit ens i Norden? Vittu saatana.

@gerikson

Someone's clearly doing another PR blitz about them. People don't just show up in media around the world for no reason. The question is who?

The guy who is slowly transforming into a racist hot dog?

I bet it’s Industry Americus, who is far too enterprising for one of such young age

She is a blight on the neighborhood, her exhaust gasses and waste production alone.
