slopjockey@awful.systemsto TechTakes@awful.systems•Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending 19th January 2025 - awful.systemsEnglish15·3 months agoI’ve been a big fan of HN comments lately
slopjockey@awful.systemsto TechTakes@awful.systems•Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending 17th November 2024English1·5 months agoWords words words and more words that link to even more words (that you can ctrl-f for the relevant bits!)
slopjockey@awful.systemsto TechTakes@awful.systems•Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending 10th November 2024English0·5 months agoThe worst part about Trump being president is Trump being president for a year. The second worst part is Vance being president for the next three (after Trump dies of heart failure). The third worst part is the fact that I’ve been owned in a way I can’t even explain to my closest friends.

slopjockey@awful.systemsto TechTakes@awful.systems•Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending 3rd November 2024English0·5 months agoI’ve gotten too offline to sniff out ironic posts. This nearly sent me to my grave

Right crime, wrong perp. The Google overview “correctly” sourced the IQ scores from one of Arthur Jensen’s “studies” where he reports the IQ of every country in the world and fully makes up numbers for over a third of them

slopjockey@awful.systemsto TechTakes@awful.systems•Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending Sunday 11 August 2024English6·8 months agoI think a human would probably recommend priority mail atp. You’d get tracking, wouldn’t waste 19 stamps, and shipping is already included in the cost
slopjockey@awful.systemsto TechTakes@awful.systems•Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending Sunday 04 August 2024English10·8 months agoSpeaking of breathtaking racism with low quality cites, does anyone remember ebola chan? He was my favorite because he was a reactionary with 4chan temperament, so he’d mald when pushed instead of spewing out word salad.
slopjockey@awful.systemsto TechTakes@awful.systems•Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending Sunday 04 August 2024English13·9 months agoI’d never heard of him. His latest tweet is complaining about the left wing slant on his thread and he says that you can’t “get away from the culture war I guess”. Yet every fifth post below is a rage post about libs and lefties.

It’s disingenuous enough that it feels like there’s an agenda, but at the same time what could the point even be? Fuck cancer patients?

slopjockey@awful.systemsto SneerClub@awful.systems•Gil Duran on J. D. Vance and our old friend MoldbugEnglish12·9 months agoSpeaking of the “virtualization” plan he has, did he not realize how expensive and impractical and un-immersive this would be, especially with 2008 technology?
You have to buy (and eventually repair) a shit ton of 4d VR headsets. You have to feed these guys and excercise them to make sure they don’t atrophy too hard. And VR sucks ass, even now, so the entire facility would just be a shittier, smellier dark ride with a captive audience.
Isn’t this just a stupider version of The Matrix? How is this guy so renowned?
slopjockey@awful.systemsto SneerClub@awful.systems•Gil Duran on J. D. Vance and our old friend MoldbugEnglish19·9 months agoAs Delegate of San Francisco, what should you do with these people? I think the answer is clear: alternative energy. Since wards are liabilities, there is no business case for retaining them in their present, ambulatory form. Therefore, the most profitable disposition for this dubious form of capital is to convert them into biodiesel, which can help power the Muni buses.
Jesus Christ
Okay, just kidding. This is the sort of naive Randian thinking which appeals instantly to a geek like me, but of course has nothing to do with real life. The trouble with the biodiesel solution is that no one would want to live in a city whose public transportation was fueled, even just partly, by the distilled remains of its late underclass.
Oh ok, that’s less(?) terrible
However, it helps us describe the problem we are trying to solve. Our goal, in short, is a humane alternative to genocide. That is: the ideal solution achieves the same result as mass murder (the removal of undesirable elements from society), but without any of the moral stigma. Perfection cannot be achieved on both these counts, but we can get closer than most might think
Jesus Christ

Lmao what

slopjockey@awful.systemsto SneerClub@awful.systems•rationalists discuss: does testosterone make you stupid?English9·9 months agoI think it’s closer to the arr blockedandreported brand of race science. I took a glance at Koanic soul and he seems spiritually aroused by whitness, seems a lil different.
Y’know, kind of like a Caroline Ellison type where they’re definitely and severely into scientific racism, but less venomous than a blue check.
The blue check reaction to the totally cracked treasury zoomers showcases a complete rejection of the importance of domain knowledge. It’s 10x software engineer syndrome metastasized.
They’re saying that the ice cream hair kid - who has never worked on a real world system because he’s STILL IN COLLEGE - is going to do us proud because he translated a greek scroll in high school? Good for him, but so what? Ben Carson split babies in half like Solomon and he’s still a moron.
