Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

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.

I took psychic damage reading some of those replies (that's 3 of them)

hopefully the OP there can find more places to find experience and feedback from than r/ssc, though

What's wrong with the weed advice? Seems reasonable enough to me.

The 2 page treatise on inequality which is primarily impotent faffing about from "first principles" definitely hurt me though

the psychoactive effects are quite subjective (and no one-size fits all), so I find the stated-as-fact/certainty of tone there a bit of a waste

(it is also a very common enough thing in many communities of people that partake in psychoactives, but, yeah)
