      People who love their moms are less intelligent than those who love their dads? There is a dissertation in psychoanalytics just waiting to be written.

        I think it lines up well with existing theories, that of the oedipal complex combined with the idea that women are smarter.

        Some actual expert was on TV talking about space, a European space probe I think, wearing his Hawaiian shirt with ludicrous SciFi babes on it, and a certain type of person kicked off declaring that somehow SciFi babe Hawaiian shirt is misogyny incarnate or something. The main outcome for me was that now two different friends own sofa cushions with the identical fabric pattern, they're a bit... garish? Both these friends are women, one of them is a bona fide scientist with a PhD and everything, so evidently the "No to SciFi babes on Hawaiian shirts" misogyny claims were less "mainstream feminism" and more "I'm just looking for reasons to be angry", but whatever, that's culture for you.

  Good god. Also I wonder if Randall Monroe knows this somewhat ironic fact? It would make a nice addendum to the alt text on https://xkcd.com/936/ https://xkcd.com/936/ (which BTW is the origin of correcthorsebatterystaple for those wondering).

  this one is quite amazing, I expected it to be one of the weakest around today, I certainly would include it in one of my first attempts if I tried to brute force any password.
  - latexr 9y ago
    There’s no guarantee those accounts hold any value, though. A throwaway account is the perfect chance for such a password — you won’t forget it and won’t care if you lose it.
