    Ooh, thanks! This community came up in my feed recently, so I haven’t yet had the chance to browse all that awful.systems has to offer. I’ll check out TechTakes and see what else I can subscribe to!

      absolutely! there’s quite a bit of overlap between SneerClub and TechTakes, but SneerClub tends to focus on sneering at Eliezer Yudkowsky, the rationalist philosophy (or cult, depending on how charitable one feels), and the LessWrong community and its offshoots. TechTakes sneers at tech in general, and is a bit more accessible I think

      all that said, I don’t mind revisiting the topic here because Andreessen Horowitz can still absolutely go fuck himself

      e: in spite of spending like 2 whole minutes on it I still somehow misspelled ^A.*n H.*z$’s name
