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 youā€™ll 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 cutā€™nā€™paste it into its own post ā€” thereā€™s no quota for posting and the bar really isnā€™t that high.

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many ā€œesotericā€ right wing freaks, but thereā€™s no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iā€™m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged ā€œculture criticsā€ who write about everything but understand nothing. Iā€™m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyā€™re inescapable at this point, yet I donā€™t see them mocked (as much as they should be)

Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnā€™t be surgeons because they didnā€™t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canā€™t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)

    Yep, the clarification doesnā€™t really clarify anything. If theyā€™re unable to write their terms of service in a way that a layperson in legal matters can understand the intended meaning, thatā€™s a problem. And itā€™s impossible for me to know whether their ā€œclarificationā€ is true or not. Sorry, Mozilla, youā€™ve made too many bad decisions already in the recent years, I donā€™t simply trust your word anymore. And, why didnā€™t they clarify it in the terms of service text itself?

    That they published the ToS like that and nobody vetoed it internally, thatā€™s a big problem too. I mean, did they expect people to not be shocked by what it says? Or did they expect nobody would read it?

    Anyway, switching to LibreWolf on all machines now.
