Want to wade into the snowy surf of the abyss? 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.

I’m like 60% sure he will self-incinerate when exposed to sunlight
I'll grant the Holy Inquisition guy something: he really knows how to turn a phrase. the English summaries of this article really don't do it justice.
For the non-French speakers among us:
and frankly, i'm not a catholic anymore, and i did look around for matches.
