Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid!
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, 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.

A story from a couple months ago that I heard about just now from the scam goddess podcast.
this was of course the toast of the UK press and Twitter
theyāre doing a parody of it in LA, which looks like rubbish but theyāre flying over the Oompa Loompa actor so if she gets a paying gig out of it then fine
This is the worst timeline.
But if this is the actorās break then hey I agree something good comes out of it.
I saw some other pictures of her, and not just the bored meme picture everybody has seen, and she really tried to make the best of it for all the kids coming, so really hope it works out for her.
