Shortbait

A form of baiting where complex, nuanced, well-argued positions are met with the shortest possible responses, often combined with gaslighting or patholighting. Hours of writing, careful reasoning, cited sources—met with "lol no," "touch grass," "seek help," or "too long didn't read." The goal is to refuse engagement entirely while implying that the very act of making a complex argument is pathological. Shortbait communicates: your effort is ridiculous, your thinking is broken, you care too much. It's a power move that positions the baiter as above it all, too cool for thought, too sane for caring. The length of the response inversely correlates with its dismissiveness.

"I spent three hours crafting a well-researched post about economic policy. Shortbait response: 'touch grass.' That's it. They're not engaging—they're performing disengagement as superiority. My effort becomes evidence of my pathology. That's the whole game."

Shortpost

A specific instance of Shortbait—a brief, dismissive response to a complex or lengthy argument, designed to refuse engagement while implying the target is pathological for engaging at all. Shortposts are recognizable by their formulaic nature: "lol," "ok," "touch grass," "go outside," "seek therapy," "too long didn't read." They require zero effort but deliver maximum dismissal. The Shortpost isn't a contribution—it's a conversation-ender, a door-slam, a performance of superiority through brevity.

"He wrote a detailed critique of my position with sources and reasoning. My friend whispered: 'Just say "ok" and move on.' That Shortpost would do more damage than any counter-argument, because it communicates: you're not worth engaging, your effort is pathetic, I'm above this. Brevity as brutality."

shortcut recruiting

The practice of using AI agents or automated pipelines to skim the same publicly available layoff trackers and LinkedIn data that every other recruiter is already scraping, repackage it as a "curated shortlist," and call it "innovation". This in contrast to actually hitting the pavement to find, meet, and evaluate real talent, the recruiter sets up a bot to surface the same recycled pool of recently laid-off engineers that 500 other recruiters are already cold-messaging simultaneously.

The whole industry is moving toward shortcut recruiting and then complaining there's no good talent. Bro, you automated yourself into mediocrity.
