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.

        For the record, I’m currently at ~70% that we’re all dead in 10-15 years from the moon getting mad at us. I’ve stopped saving for retirement, and have increased my spending towards a future moon mission to give it lots of pats and treats and tell it it’s a good boy and we love it, please don’t get mad.

          As a moonleftalonist, I have increased my spending towards nuking all space travel sites (not going well, apparently those things are expensive and really hard to find on ebay), as it is clear that the moon doesn’t want our attention, it never asked for it, and never tried to visit us. Respect the moons privacy!

          Our secondary plan is making a big sign saying ‘we are here if you want to talk’.

      Ugh, this post has me tilted- if your utility function is

      max sum log(spending on fun stuff at time t ) * p(alive_t) s.t. cash at time t = savings_{t-1}*r + work_t - spending_t,

      etc.,

      There’s no fucking way the optimal solution is to blow all your money now, because the disutility of living in poverty for decades is so high. It’s the same reason people pay for insurance, no expects their house is going to burn down tomorrow, but protecting yourself against the risk is the 100% correct decision.

      Idk, they are the Rationalist^{tm} so what the hell do I know.

      Is increasing the amount of long-term health risks code for showering even less?
