  xkcd 385. Cueball and a friend stand at a blackboard. The friend is writing, in standard mathematical notation, that the integral of x squared equals pi. No differential or bounds are given for the integral. Cueball: Wow, you suck at math. The same scene, except the writer is Megan. Cueball: Wow, girls suck at math.

  Stupid people standing on soapboxes saying stupid shit.

  Back in my day, people had to dedicate years of their life before they were given the opportunity to stand in front of hundreds of people and tell them things.

    Brutha - they call it standing on a soapbox for a reason. And soapboxes havent physically been a thing for a real long time. Wait’ll you bear about “stumping”.

  Anecdotally, I’ve only heard women use that sort of argument IRL. Kinda falls in the, “This widget is 80% so I’m saving money!”

  Well, no, not if you didn’t have to purchase the widget in the first place.

  Men are hardly immune, but in my experience it’s more so women.
