Only a layman here, but as I understood it, the differences between the brains of the two genders are always less than the differences across a single gender. That is, there is substantially more variation between all men, or all women, than between the averaged scores of the two groups.

I really don't understand why this is such a hard concept: men do not think differently than women, people think differently than other people. I am far more logic-oriented than my mother, while my brother and sister are both more emotionally intuitive than my father and I are. Male brains are not identical to each…

“Men and women do have different brains. This is a biological fact.”

YEAH, COOL STORY, BRO

FALSE.

COOL STORY, BRO

Yeah bruh, that’s why the current reigning chess champion in the US is a black girl from brooklyn. #Byenigel

So this guy’s theory is that men are intrinsically better chess players than women, yet fails to recognize he’s been beaten eight times by a woman because..................?

I mean, V.S Naipaul finally STFU & now this bastard had to vomit shit out

Is this the same as the “science” that said if women run marathons, their uteruses would fall out? If you can’t prove it, don’t spew it.

I just read “Nigel Short’s penis” as “Nigel’s short penis” and I'm totally fine with that.

I have taken batteries out of things and told her they were broken or sleeping. I am a lying asshole, but I’m still sane so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

OK. As crazy as this note is, and the specific directives of it are borderline insane, I kind of understand it to a degree.

I think the solution, though, is to just donate the unwanted items. Make a Goodwill run.

That’s exactly what I’m thinking. Maaan, when my BF and her husband had their son two years ago — he was the first grandchild on either side of the family, and a boy to boot, so I mean, there was nothing in this galaxy that wasn’t bought for him even before he was born. By the time his first Christmas rolled around…

When some friends of mine had their first baby, they specifically requested books in lieu of cards for the baby shower, which was great: baby books cost around the same as a fancy card, help develop the kid’s brain, and it’s not like you can’t put whatever message you would’ve put in the card, in the book instead. :)

I had to put a stop on the barrage of presents and have gently reminded immediate family that toys with batteries that sing that same gd song over and over and over and over again aren’t high on our list of wants. I appreciate the sentiment - I do. I just can’t fucking deal with the lady bug constantly streaming at me…

I feel like books are one of those things that you can have A LOT OF.

How much storage can 25 baby books take up though (or for that matter, 32 board books)? It’s got to be less than one file box. Maybe they should’ve asked for a bookcase? (Also because books are good in general.)

Wouldn’t a better suggestion be a short email saying:
