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 you’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 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.
Last week's thread
(Semi-obligatory thanks to @dgerard for starting this)
I almost want to go Twitter diving to see if kache has the requisite unhinged rant about how universities are only making quantum physics hard to get money/because of woke or whatever
e: holy shit I already regret this
We could bottle this arrogance and sell it as an emetic.
And besides, we all know that mathematics videos peaked with the Angle Dance.
as one of many people here who has undergone undergrad math, i reckon a month of youtube and anki might not be enough for even intro to linear algebra. I’m even saying this as someone who skipped all lectures and crammed before all the tests.
Oh. He retweets Cremieux.
yeah don't do it to yourself. I forget how I originally noticed this weirdo, it may have been through amolitor99's continuous anthropology safari of TPOT freaks. Speaking of which, somebody needs to get that guy over here
i have tried occasionally but will try again
dammit now I’m going to have to look at twitter
tpot fresh on my mind, too. just yesterday i was telling someone about how one of the people semi in that cluster had me going 🤨 and then had to explain a little about some of the highlights of tpot
oh, cool, they also claim to be a twitter engineer. that’s probably telling too (if true)
i see your twitter engineer and i raise you elite promptfondler
there's more
or you could use something like qrencode that already is a thing and pipe it to image viewer of your choice
yeah which might it be
he's also lying box understander
(idk why these screenshots get stretched to entire width available sometimes and sometimes they don't)
there's a lot of this
we had these since manhattan project. sit tf down
i think we have different standards on being coherent
echo "<URL>" |and mac-onlygetoutput("pbpaste")(yuck).that one-liner is just ...... mental
imagine the fucking brain it takes to go "okay yeah I'll put this through opencv" instead of literally
clipboard-paste | qrencode | clipboard-capturejust whole brain genius levels of bad
Oh my god, the incredibly important numpy import and the way it's not even reading the piped input but the clipboard using a shell command of all things are sending me. Is this the expertise you can gain in two weeks?
mullenweg is a rentseeker in latest wordpress saga, look up last stubsack and one before that
(my bad, I actually just looked at the images earlier, missed that you said that)
…or just use the qrencode's
-t ANSI256or-t ANSI256UTF8output format and read your qr code directly from terminal.I was presuming on “pasting to discord or photoshop” type nuisance (given the tweetor), but indeed
finding and looking up information you need effectively is a skill that is both very useful and i don't think it's taught explicitly, it's a byproduct of being taught how to do research more generally. slapping a lying box in its place is not a substitute
but what if the lying box smiled at me and made me feel good about myself, surely that means it's trustworthy right?
(wipes away a single tear)
Beautiful, man, just beautiful
i stared into abyss again and he can't grasp why flywheels for energy storage don't work while trying to make happen a startup that sells hardware
"qm and fluid dynamics are easy" lol
jesus christ
whoa...on second thought, maybe this dude is having a manic episode or something? yeesh!
