Need to make a primal scream without gathering 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!
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.
looks like perplexity misbehaves in a way thatād allow them to hide
quick whois on the ip from that log snippet says ec2, so theyāre probably doing scaleout via dynamic instances (Iāve been wondering about this for a variety of the services)
full fucking parasitical, again and again
Oh look, Elon openly snuggling up to Nazis and ājust asking questionsā. As if I didnāt hate this clown enough.
(For anyone out of the loop: the AfD is a far-right political party in Germany and the spiritual successor to the NSDAP. Theyāre praising the SS, advocate for legalization of holocaust denial and historical revisionism, removal of hate crimes from the code of law, and more. Theyāre so openly Nazis that they got kicked out of the EU parliamentās far-right ID coalition for being too fucking Nazi. Thereās no leeway. Theyāre literal card-carrying national socialists.)
@mii @blakestacey I cannot and will not argue about your points, theyāre absolutely valid. The words youāre using however are not correct. Nazis are fascists, as are these right wing monsters. They are antisocialist, not socialists. They are against socialism and against democracy and only for their own brand of autocracy.
āNational socialismā is the term the Nazis invented to describe themselves. āNaziā is the abbreviation of the term ānational socialismā. Could be good to know.
also good to point out for someone just finding out about this:
(1) The name is a lie in the same way āthe democratic peopleās republic of north koreaā is. So Peckham is absolutely correct that the Nazis hated socialists and were not socialists, as evidenced by the fact that they tried to kill all of them.
(2) The modern version of this lie is pretending the Nazis were socialists, and itās a very common tactic in the far right. So Peckham is correct that we should not call them socialists, itās just that using the term ānational socialistā doesnāt actually imply you think they are socialists.
(3) They did spring originally from the fusing of former socialist idealogues with the far right. So as with many massively successful lies there is a distant evolutionary relationship to something true.
@mountainriver Are you really shocked that the name is a lie?
donāt be the annoying pedant; weāre fully capable of understanding that the ānational socialist german workersā partyā was not a socialist party (and that a ānaziā is a pejorative and was from the start), that the phrase āmarxist-leninistā is generally used to mean āleft-authoritarian but want to pretend it isnātā, that the ācommunist party of the soviet unionā was actually presiding over a project of building an authoritarian state capitalism, and that the ārepublicanā party in the united states is trying to make the united states a theocratic dictatorship.

Orange site post with a bunch of people saying burnout is a learning experience and that its okay to be perpetually depressed because it makes you more disruptive.
I donāt have anything clever to say about this.
Didnāt we discuss this fallacy the other day?
maybe youāre referring to when i brought it up in last weekās thread? and yeah, this is basically the same
canāt wait for AI bros to invent the trolley problem
Proof that pasta doesnāt exist:
- An atom isnāt pasta.
- Adding an atom to something that isnāt pasta doesnāt make it pasta.
- Therefore nothing is pasta.
I wonder if we can start requiring history of science, philosophy, and literary & artistic theory classes in secondary school (or at least before giving out doctorates), just to limit incredibly annoying adults who think theyāre geniuses. I also thought I invented brain-in-a-vat thought experiments when I was ten, but I donāt opine on them reinvented from first principles.

Not your fault, but I really dislike this word and wish people wouldnāt start copying it from the cryptobros. Not a fan of calling people degenerates.
