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 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.
A choice selection of musks deposition with TurdRationalist™ ajacent brainrot shibboleths:
I can only gauge truth from first principled anecdotal sampling of my nazi friends, I can’t look at everything alas, I’ll leave community notes to deal with pesky liberals
[Which btw in other parts of the deposition he says, for a community note to be surfaced people must vote the same note as being helpful, where they previously disagreed, which doesn’t sound at all like it couldn’t be gamed, and doesn’t at all sound like it would sometimes force “centrism” with nazis]
On a all too sadly self-aware note
You think?
Musk is weirdly into the Rationalist ideas, but also he doesn’t get them. He once explained the ‘we live in a simulation’ ancestor simulation argument, and made it even dumber. Just mentioning statistics and distribution sampling isn’t really it.
Anyway, because he mentioned Niagara Falls: A Dance
Btw, deleted this because the vid needed a content warning, but I was too lazy to edit it in properly.
Is that the same Mark Bankston who represented the Sandy Hook families?
yes, and the best bit is when he unhinges his jaw and swallows Spiro
Yes it is. I’m just waiting for the Knowledge Fight boys to have a podcast on this deposition.
They said they would if the actual audio is ever released, so far we only have the transcript…
I believe it is.
