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.

SneerclubTechTakes, will you be my āFriendā? :)AI āFriendā Company Spent $1.8 Million and Most of Its Funds on Domain Name (404 media, archive)
AI Companion Device Releases Diss Track Against āFriendā (404 media, archive, diss track on twitter)
Hereās Friendās advertisement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_Q1hoEhfk4 . The music choice and general vibe isā¦ unsettling.
thereās an entire type of startup guy embodied by Schiffmann, and I canāt be the only one whoās met this type more than once
presented without comment
Wow that was easier than expected, we canāt get philosophers to agree what that would even mean but itās done folks
Enough money to blow it all on a domain name. Not enough money to port their chatbot-app from iPhone to Android, or pay someone to resolve customer issues. (twitter.com, xcancel.com)
people just donāt get consumer, I said, as the unfulfilled refund requests continued to rack up
Also doxxing them when giving their refund.
Forget the diss track person, Iāve tracked down the true origin of Friend:
the ad alone should be a thread itās the most insane thing Iāve seen in years
the yt comments are brutal btw definitely check them out
The yt comments are indeed delightful
I like how the advertisementās URL opens with a fucking O_Q like even its unsettled by this shit
Itās like how can we make a depressing tamagotchi?
Indeed.
This hast the same vibe as a trailer for shows like Black Mirror. I actually feel sad for the people theyāre targeting with this, holy shit.
