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.
(Semi-obligatory thanks to @dgerard for starting this)
predictions for the trump admin?
Hot Take: the damage from RFK Jr will be limited by the fact that heās messing with the money for several large industries, particularly agriculture and pharmaceuticals. They have bottomless pockets and arenāt afraid to bribe the bribable. There will be damage, but heāll be crushed like a bug in the end.
Also, he clearly annoys the orange guy, can offer him nothing in return now that the election is over, and has already been the victim of a ritual humiliation (e.g. being forced to partake in a McDonaldās meal for the camera), which is the first sign of a Trump guy being de-emphasized.
Please sneer at this article. I thought it was pissweak myself.
Jesus Christ.
This guy is a classic example of kook magnetism with a side of Dunning-Kreuger.
Job history is sus as hell too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Barsky
Some dweeb with a journalism degree gets a job at a hedge fund right out of grad school, bombs out, āgoes back toā journalism. Newspapers canāt get enough of this kind of guy; not surprised the TERF Islandās paper of record picked him up nor am I surprised that they think RFK Jr might be good actually.
Hopefully the established capitalists will protect us from the fascistsā worst excesses hasnāt been much of a winning bet historically.
oh no, nothing is protecting us, youāre 100% right there. Eating food is about to become a much more dicey proposition.
It is still safe to assume that the ghouls who run Pfizer and ConAgra will bend their resources to protecting the bag from a disposable nutjob.
mine:
prediction 1: he dies halfway through. funniest way would be another pandemic gets him
prediction 2: he doesnāt die. it will be exactly the same as the first admin but infinitely worse. everyone will hate and backstab each other, they will constantly get fired and rehired and fired like reality tv, there will be a constant dribble of horrible things happening, then in four years thereās a coup attempt
prediction 3: elon doesnāt last a year, possibly doesnāt even make it six months
Iām anticipating an Elvis re-enactment.
If they do press conferences this time around, ever question should just be ādoes Elon approve of decision ____ ?ā Will drive Trump fkn insane.
Despite worrying my brains out about getting deported from my home of 14 years because I wasnāt born in this godforsaken place, Iām extremely excited that Elon will get fired in the next 6 months or less. Gives me life to think about him getting very publicly humiliated by an even greater piece of shit than he is.
