Me looking at this meme nearing 40..."pretty sure we used sus and fire as teenagers".

Then again I didn't grow up in USA and we had different "hip" words.

I assume he doesn't really think that, but thinks he's being a cute troll. Like picking 420.69 for everything.

Trying to deflect assumed criticism about him by being "funny".

He's fucking 70? I thought he preferred them younger

I mean... You can be clinically dead and then revived with cpr and a defibrillator, so not entirely unrealistic.

The vacuum cleaner I currently have and have always have, it's not on here and now I'm confused... Or is that what is called a "cannister vacuum"?

We don't even fully understand the brain itself, let alone how to recreate it.

This is token click bait scientific "journalism"

It's not even no experience required, it's usually "can learn on the job"...

In theory you could learn any job "on the job", it's just that some jobs would take a lot more of the existing employees time to teach.

Also, if "time to learn" = more pay, then astrophysicts and philosophers would be some of the richest mofos out there.

Yeah, I was about to say, as a software engineer I can totally understand how that might have happened and am not surprised... But the skeptic/cynic in me feels like it's a convenient excuse.

While I won't deny there is a biological difference that impacts performance there's also a systemic societal difference that doesn't help.

In general women are not given the same support, whether from family, schools, coaches, research or funding, to become top athletes.

It's certainly much better that it has been in the past now days and it's getting better, but even just people saying "women aren't as good as men" is something that sinks into the psyche of women who want to compete.

It's akin to men from poorer nations who can't afford resources, time and training, having a hard time competing against "richer" nations who invest more into it
