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.

from someone on Mastodon:
I half want to jest āPDD strikes againā but honestly it feels like only half the explanation
(promotion driven dev)
Man now Iām thinking about AI written PIPs. God if I got an AI PIP Iād self immolate on company grounds.
oh this is almost definitely real, given that the regular PIP process was already designed to get you to quit
thatās quite appealing to me ngl
God knows I like a good DSL, but ācomplexity over drudgeryā just sounds miserable. I also wonder what kind of stuff theyāre coding thatās supposedly trivial enough to be generated by AI.
Here ya go boss, a 80% prototype solution.
