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 youāll 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 cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this. Also, happy April Foolās in advance.)
Check out the unhinged classism from one of the lesser figures whoās popped up here from time-to-time (with an added bonus shout-out to Ayn Rand further down the thread)
Wow, this wrong and unfair but itās also just stupid. Especially this:
Jesus, what a fuck. Having spent time in both SF and NYC my guess is that this shitheadās SF pedestrian experience is getting in and out of ubers and the treadmills at equinox. That, and he is probably outwardly disdainful, which doesnāt go over well in NYC.
Wow, thatās some venomously hateful text.
Jesus Christ learn what words mean. Even if you use āThird Worldā to mean āpoor countriesā, fourth world is not a thing and people living in extreme poverty in developing countries are in fact not better off than non Wall Street New Yorkers.
Assuming the common use of third world to mean āpoor countriesā, then I suppose a āfourth worldā country would be one that is poor and *also *not really a functional state, perhaps with some armed conflict going on.
But to describe NYC as that? Nonsense.
Itās easy to read it as first and fourth āworldā but itās actually first and fourth āwordā. But the first and fourth word of what? Mein Kampf? The 18 words?
well ackthscthually after 9/11, the whole world got isekaiād where everyone exists in a game-like status point system. The 1st world is reserved for the top rank of humans, the n+1th world is worse than the nth world. IQ points = your int stat. This is just how it is, sorry
Talk about annoyingly vague. I read the whole thing and he never actually says what his problem is. I guess like so much classism Iām supposed to fill in the blank or something.
If he got into specifics people might think āDamn, Iāve never had that kind of experience with working-class New Yorkers. What gives?ā and he might have to consider let alone admit that he was an asshole to someone.
