Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending Sunday 28 July 2024
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.

Yud requires calories for his massive brain.

asking the important questions
Unfortunately the Joe Rogan case study shows that the answer is probably quite a bit more.
Don't forget the chaser!
Ah, by "chaser", you mean "emetic"
An olive oil chaser - classic.
The reactions to that are also quite something, not only does Musk bring out the worst people (bluechecks, all even less informed than him, or worse just people wanting to spread crypto/insult fat people/took over the weird posting style from Jordan B Peterson (the one with all the linebreaks at strange places, Musk also did it once in the same period he did the interview), but Yudkowsky reacted with a very gentle [citation needed], while we all know the truth.
Maintaining my weight still requires fasting 1 month for every 2 months that I eat enough for my brain to work.
... his brain works?
Objection! Facts not in evidence!
Looks like he's in the process of killing himself
And he insists exercise doesn't help him lose weight which means it doesn't have any benefit.
Poor fuck's going to get done in by vanity.
I can't really feel sorry for him but this is somehow still depressing
Isn't this what happened to that creepy bloke on Tumblr. Maybe all rationalist-adjacent bloggers eventually shit themselves to death after trying to fix their health problems with punishing exercise regimes and dodgy supplements.
which one?
huh, this was last August
Yeah, I'd seen one or two of his popular posts but I only became familiar with him and his whole deal after he died.
For the people not in the know 500kcal a day is very unwise. Not only very unhealthy, also a sign of looking for a quick fix mindset, which is not a thing that works well for long term weightloss.
Yeah, and he does this one in every two months (+ 1 bonus week of fasting because water weight because the only thing he's interested in is number go down).
Mein gott
Oh man I need to up my caloric intake (ozempic makes this really hard).
Try not to go under 1000kcal (and even that is a bit low and prob unhealthy on the long term, assuming somewhat average male height, a middle age, and computertoucher lifestyle).
