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.
(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)

has to? sigh
it makes me so deeply fucking depressed knowing how much near-abandon infrastructure spending is happening. minor win is that power plants can work for other things too, but it still runs headlong into a pile of other issues (transmission network, generation method side effects, etc etc)
transmission network won't even benefit if powerplant is connected directly to dc, and there's always work to be done on buildup of transmission network
yep exactly - the plant alone is only part of the infra spend, and there's so much else that matters too
it's just such a fucking terrible way of doing this, and it sucks
