He applied to real life what our elementary and secondary maths teachers have been drilling into us all the time: Always remember the unit of measurement!

I'm *allowed* (not "aloud") to refer to my notes, planner, etc. at my job and it's not considered cheating. It's real life. We're allowed calculators, computers, etc. in life. Plus, if the teacher allowed it, then it's not technically cheating.

Is it really levelling off? World events indicate no.

The fact that you're telling me to stop analyzing it just makes me want to analyze it more. I strongly believe that when people stop analyzing things, they maintain the status quo. The fact that you yourself said it was a dumb joke is indicative that perhaps you would like the status quo to change. Furthermore, without actual data, I am not inclined to believe your statement that the "vast" majority of such players are male. The majority, sure, but not overwhelmingly so.

I hear you, but I really don't think it applies too much in this particular situation. If the girlfriend were much older, then it could apply. (Not trying to be ageist, but I'm assuming for the sake of argument that a much older person with little experience with online gaming would be more apt to believe that such games can easily be paused.) Otherwise, I really do think that most women would know that you can't easily pause such games. We play, too.

I fully understand and agree. That's why I don't get the point of including it. It's 2017 and we're still using ridiculous stereotypes.

I still don't get it. I'm female and know that you can't pause those kinds of games.

Ha!

I don't get the impression that guest was trying to be superior. The title of the post does, in fact, hint that these are asshole hacks. I think guest was just giving the post a synonymous title.

I agree. That's why my very first comment states that the "hack" *could* backfire.

You're actually supposed to remove the sign if your baby isn't in fact on board in order to avoid aforementioned problems in the event of an emergency. Most, if not all, sign packages state so as well.
