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 cut’n’paste it into its own post, there’s no quota for posting and the bar really isn’t that high

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

    the consensus opinion was that what I was able to accomplish with a whim was terrifying.

    Man Discovers Running Random Sys Commands in Python Can Do Bad Things.

    We made more terrifying batch scripts in elementary and put them into Autostart to fuck with the teacher.

      When I was a wee youngin’, I had an exponential copy one in an org-wide NT autostart (because, y’know, that’s what kind of stupid shit you do when you’re young and like that)

      It took weeeeeks but when it finally accumulated enough it pretty much tanked the entire network. It was kinda hilarious seeing how lost the admins were in trying to figure it out

      Probably one of my first lessons in learning some particular things about competencies
