I figured a close stereotype for men, would be that they should all be farmers. The thing is, there are under two million farmers in the US as of 2023. So statistically, an equivalent occupation/role should have a larger number.
Heard a guy respond to another guy calling him a motherfucker with ‘yeah, but your mom didn’t complain much’, so it got me thinking. What are your best comebacks for the common insults you hear from time to time?
I pull out the "I'm rubber, you're glue". Nobody expects it these days, either that or "Would Mister Rogers approve of your actions?" I've yet to meet someone who doesn't at least pause at that.
I can't pull it off, but "I'm thinking you weren't burdened with an over-abundance of schooling." From Firefly is killer
President Joe Biden promised Black voters Wednesday that he would appoint progressives to the US Supreme Court if elected to a second term, suggesting he expects vacancies on the high court over the next four years....
I don't think it is (though Dems seem to pull that often). Supreme Court Justices seem to have a very hard time letting go of the power, even on the more progressive side (Notorious R.B.G. being the most recent example). There's basically no way to remove a supreme court justice, impeachment will pretty much never happen. I think it's more recognizing that multiple who are 75 years old in a stressful job and being targeted by the public more and more is likely to lead to at least one of them leaving, be it death or retirement.
Hey, some of us smart people can't do that basic math either 😭

The world’s first human trial of a drug that can regenerate teeth will begin in a few months, less than a year on from news of its success in animals. This paves the way for the medicine to be commercially available as early as 2030....
Yeah, Florida just did it wrong. They're not having major farming and trucking issues because they scared away a bunch of immigrants. It'll work this time everywhere else.
It's more likely that the person shown on set is a vfx person making sure everything's being filmed right for their part, and he superimposed himself during the vfx editing on purpose.
There's still so much research that still needs to be done on it and nowhere near enough test data. The transplants could in theory help quite a few people who just don't even have a chance of getting access to it.

And this is why I hate all web development and the fact that most jobs are web bs these days. Everything has so much crud baked in and including twelve modules with a million functions just to do anything is the norm.

At one point during the interrogation, the investigators even threatened to have his pet Labrador Retriever, Margosha, euthanized as a stray, and brought the dog into the room so he could say goodbye. “OK? Your dog’s now gone, forget about it,” said an investigator....
According to cases settled by the supreme court, you have to be clear, unambiguous, and express you're invoking your right in a way that "the average police officer can understand the person's intent to actually invoke their rights".
In practice, this means no slang, no "maybe" or "possibly". It's best to be direct and simple. Something like "I am invoking my right to remain silent and I am invoking my right to an attorney". IANAL and have not been arrested though, but this is advice I've been given from cops in the family and seen reiterated before.
PC optimizers are not a new concept, and they have been around for quite a while. Nowadays, many consider them unnecessary, but having an official program made by Microsoft that is capable of (allegedly) speeding up your PC may sound quite appealing....
Yeah, because nobody ever slips problematic code into free software that isn't caught right away. Sure buddy.
I'll stick with that extra layer that helps catch things I might miss no matter where the software came from thanks (no I didn't think everyone needs norton or McAfee or the likes, just something).
That's also ignoring all the people who just don't know enough about computers to catch as much. Not even talking old grannies or lazy people, just the average person who only has so much time to devote to keeping their system secure.
What is the equivalent stereotype of 'women should all be homemakers,' for men?
