It’s about rich kids playing tennis. I will not be taking questions. Now go to bed, for your own good.
Be careful. You might have to marry her to get your hoodie back.
I believe that’s the original depiction of Thing.
Before this month, I had no idea there were so many Christmas-themed Addams Family comics!
Product R&D engineer here. I have a product manager who only knows how to give one piece of feedback: make it smaller and slimmer. What requirement is driving this? Can’t say. What user need are we trying to address? No idea. But smaller=better for some reason.

Stats are valid when they are used in the proper context and are not being misrepresented. For example, Black and Native American people account for a disproportionate number of drowning deaths in the US. But it would be irresponsible to simply conclude that those groups are inherently bad swimmers.

Quoting crime statistics based on race, like the old “13/50” trope, is often used to enforce racist notions that minority groups are inherently bad people. It’s punching down at marginalized people.
This meme, at least as I see it, is the opposite. It’s satirizing the usual crap from the anti-feminist crowd claiming that women are inherently inferior. It’s punching up at sexist men.

Round on the end, hi in the middle”
Too many times I’ve been out of the house with the kids and had people say things like, “You’re on Mom duty today, eh? Ha ha.” It’s frustrating that so many people have such low expectations for dads.
