Need to make a primal scream without gathering 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 facts of 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.
he does seem to have carefully cultivated case of engineer disease
also itās not āalmost allā preprints, itās all preprints, just one repository calls these papers
he didnāt discover yet predatory journals, it all could have been published for a small fee like with this one (contains mind numbing level of conspiracy-theoretic rambling and related brainworms) hxxps://uraniumisagenocidegiant[.]com/ (you have been warned)
Thereās one classified as āSSRN Electronic Journal 2023 | Journal articleā, I thought this was something like a predatory journal, hence the āalmostā, but now that I clicked on it I think this is just an arxiv-like website that calls itself an āelectronic journalā? No fucking idea.
yeah that one is sneaky but itās a repository, not a journal with peer review
Amazing.
I could āpublishā my homeworks from the 5yrs of college onto arxiv and thatād be a more scientifically valuable endeavour. Better formatted, too.

on the subsection title was painful, wasnāt it?
