Wait, in the first one it looks like the S has a cape.

As a man, I’ve found this applies to almost any traditionally* feminine activity.
Thank you for typing this all out. It was lovely and inspiring to read.
Thinking one step further: Even if I somehow got into MENSA (unlikely), I can’t imagine ever saying, “I see you have a MENSA discount…” ugh.
Don’t forget racists. Plenty of those are drawn to the Mensa labels, too.
This is worth the entire post and more. I’m chuckling while my kid gives me weird looks from the other room.
This goes a bit deep. Seems like it’s going to be about customers being too stupid to figure things out, but it ends up for me a story about engineers not accurately anticipating customers’ needs.
10 years ago I wouldn’t have imagined this, but this is me every time I have to use Windows (e.g., occasionally for work) or help someone else with it.
According to almost every photo I take, about 3 degrees off.
Pretty sure this is a psychophysics question, though I don’t know that field well enough to know what’s there.
If it helps, you’re not alone. I’ve spent decades of my life pursuing a career, and in the past five or so years I’ve come to realize I will never accomplish the things I used to dream about, like making an impact in my little field, etc. It’s a really, really unpleasant realization. The only silver lining I can find for myself (and it is helpful) is that I can let go of the “must excel” and “must go above and beyond” mentalities. It frees up time and mental resources.

The phrase “based off of.” It’s always been stupid. I’m still ahead of the curve because many people still think it’s OK. It’s not.
I can’t say for sure, but it certainly seems like the people believing these things speak in ways reminiscent of people with delusion disorders (e.g., schizophrenia). The patterns of how they use words and concepts just feels very delusiony to me.
Depends on where in Canada. Toronto? Vancouver? Montreal? Oy, insane real estate prices. Bumfuck, Alberta? Manitoba? Rural anywhere? Much cheaper.
And regardless of the price I could afford the utility and maintenance on a condo or apartment in a major city in Canada (if I could ever afford one) much more easily than on a castle in France. Not a great comparison.
My kid would like to still have a dad. One who is, ideally, not in prison or dead.
If I believed in a god I’d ask them to save me from the baby communists who see a sickle and hammer on a flag and insist they must have represented utopia.
First, I dig this meme. I’ll probably share it elsewhere.
Second… “POV” just means “hey look at this,” now?
Remember, kids: Don’t do genocide, or else after only two years of murdering people wholesale the UN might say something about it and let you keep murdering.
I’ve taught statistics for over 20 years. I flipflop on this constantly, sometimes in the middle of a sentence. Even more disturbing: I don’t have a consistent position, at least grammatically, on whether it’s singular or plural.
“I have no response to that.”
