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.

that’s why the tech bros went after this reviewer in particular, much harder than the other reviewers who thought it sucked

His response is on point, no notes.

We disagree on what my job is

I have only ever seen his electric vehicle reviews and didn’t know he did gadgets, but finally clicked this YouTube recommendation. He is so complimentary of the good stuff, like he’s trying to be as fair as possible.

Was his review of the Fisker Ocean similarly unethical? Silly.
