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 youāll 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 cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this. Also, happy 4th July in advanceā¦I guess.)
āMusic is just like meth, cocaine or weed. All pleasure no value. Donāt listen to music.ā
Thatās it. Thatās the take.

Their responses in the comments are wild too.
Iām tending towards a troll. No-one can be that dumb. OTH it is LessWrong.
I listen solely to 12-hour-long binaural beats tracks from YouTube, to maximize my focus for
promptcontext engineering. Get with the times or get left behind(Considering how many rationalists are also methheads, this joke wrote itself)
Dude came up with an entire āobviously trueā āproofā that music has no value, and then when asked how he defines āvalueā he shrugs his shoulders and is like š¤·āāļø money I guess?
This almost has too much brainrot to be 100% trolling.

I once saw the stage adaptation of A Clockwork Orange, and the scientist who conditioned Alexander against sex and violence said almost the same thing when they discovered that heād also conditioned him against music.
