I think the reason a lot of people buy into this trope is because they watched their parents engage in a division of housework where women ended up organizing the house in such a hyper specific way that people, like her husband, who could not pick up on it immediately looked like idiots. My brother's girlfriend explained to him in a very exasperated tone that the blue towels are for guests, goddamnit Greg and she couldn't understand why we didn't know this already.

Just for the record, all a microwave does is hit your food with a big magnet a bunch. The magnetic field sorta bounces around in there, and when it passes through a water molecule it drags the positive and negative poles with it. This makes them vibrate, which is what causes heat.

This is worth knowing because the type of people who think microwaves cause cancer are generally the same type of people who think that magnets will heal you.

Yeah I remember as a kid a few people offering me what amounted to $2 an hour to do their yard work in the 90's. I just looked at them like they were insane and refused. Most of the time when I see things like that I hear "I want to pay somebody absolute beans to do something I'm too lazy to do." It isn't about teaching kids responsibility and how to do jobs it's about fleecing children who might not know any better. Yeah you can probably get a soda, a candy bar, and a comic book out of it but is it really worth it? You could probably scrape change off of parking lots and make the money faster.

"Why won't children do these task for me?" Because you're being a selfish, lazy poo poo about it, that's why.

Not really. What example is there that doesn't work by just adding single digits? To be clear, my method is to go 7 and 8 is 5 and carry the 1, 5 and 4 is 9 and 1 is 0 carry the 1, 3 and 5 is 8 and 1 is 9, 1905. I can do that in my head very quickly and easily. If the numbers get much bigger then I'd need to write the answer down as I go rather than remembering all the digits. But your way doesn't make sense to me. You start from the left instead of the right and then backtrack whenever you need to carry? Is that how you're doing it?

The way I do it, you can write it out like this:

_348+
1557
====

And then just write the answer down from right to left as you get each digit, so it all ends up very neat on the page, and works for numbers of any size. Plus you can add more numbers together at once by just carrying larger numbers than 1 (eg. 38+47+95+80 you go 8 and 7 is 15 and 5 is 20, so 0 carry 2, 2 and 3 is 5 and 4 is 9 and 9 is 18 and 8 is 26 so 6 and carry 2 means the answer's 260).

The sigma male is hilarious and you should look into it because it's even more deluded than the alpha/beta/omega stuff.

The sigma male is the cool loner, he's just so awesome and clever and actually alphas are afraid of sigmas because they just know that the sigma is more intelligent and could destroy them with his awesome brain.

Of course the sigma is a loner because he's so clever he sees right through society, not because he's a loving boring rear end in a top hat.

I had a friend from high school who used to constantly talk every day about how he's waiting for God to deliver his love to him. And he finally got engaged with someone he's been dating for awhile!

At least he isn't still dating a high schooler.

I've had people unironically defend The Joker because "chaos is all that's definite" or whatever. Also for a guy without a plan who loves chaos he planned loads of stuff really meticulously in that film. I assume that image was made after the OP read a really insightful Cracked article about '7 Things You Totally Misunderstood!'.

Well, Ensure was never sold as a 100% meal replacement for people who think they're too busy and efficient to cook and eat real food. It's supposed to be a nutritional supplement for people with medical problems. Rob Rhineheart is just completely crazy and wants everyone to give up eating, tear down grocery stores to build parks, put magnets in their fingers to feel electricity, and throw out their clothes when they get dirty and buy new ones from China to save on water.

Hell house types are super into the idea of "If you sin, bad things will happen to you, and it's your fault for sinning," so really there's no reason to expect decency out of them. This makes it an easy and comforting philosophy, because the believers can assure themselves that the only reason such bad things happen is because the victims were bad people. See also: everyone who thinks there's no police problem, because it's much scarier to think that there are cops who fly off the handle than to think all cops are OK and only shoot Bad Guys. It's pretty awful.

This isn't even true, in Britain at least. The law defines 'race' as a protected characteristic, it doesn't specify which ones. If you were turned down a job for being white, that would absolutely be against the law.
