Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending 18th May 2025 - awful.systems
awful.systems
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. (Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)

      Aren’t you supposed to only use whatever “self-driving” nonsense they have on highways only? I thought Tesla explicitly says you can’t do it on a normal road cause, well, it doesn’t fucking work.

      It doesn’t even seem the driver is actually holding the wheel like they don’t try to avoid that at all

      Just a second before the crash a car goes by, this thing could’ve just as easily swerved right onto that other car and injured someone, someone should at least lose their license for this

        Maybe officially Tesla does, but the feature is called “Full Self-Driving” and Elon Musk sure as shit wants his marks to believe you can input a destination and let your car drive you all the way through.

        So, yes, Tesla should at the very least lose their business licence over this.

      Ah you see, this is proof that FSD is actually AGI. Elon told the FSD that it needs to maximise tesla profits. The FSD accessed a camera pointing at a tesla earnings report and realised that it could increase the value of tesla’s carbon credit scheming by taking out trees, hence the events of the video
