Oh no! Not woke math in their textbooks! How will our children learn 2+2 while being decent people? It’s impossible!
To quote from your link:
“Leering at scantily clad or undressed women” – Okay, I can see the problem there.
“a suggestion that Black people should get out of America and move to Wakanda” – undeniably racist
“jokes about women making sandwiches” ???
I’m missing something. Maybe it’s because I don’t know any jokes about women making sandwiches. Or that the only risque thing that comes to mind is something like “he made a sandwich with Sofia Vergara and Nicki Minaj”, where the women bracket the guy.
It’s a thing, I saw it with the older men on a conservative skewed woodworking forum I used to be on, to tell women to go make a sandwich, basically, get in the kitchen and serve the guy saying it. There were those that thought it was the peak of humour.
It’s a meme, often “Shut up [b****] and make me a sandwich”. The idea being that uppity women should know their place. I’d like to think it’s more often used ironically to mock sexism and misogyny, but maybe that’s wishful thinking.
I quite like the gay female couple with deeply troubled looks on their faces captioned “what will we do with all the sandwiches?”
I’d like to thank you for using QOP instead of GQP. It is my preferred form - the overall fight was lost long ago, but I think it is easier to type (YMMV), say (YMMV), and gives the Q pride of place.
Ah, I see. I’d heard about that, but wouldn’t describe it as a “joke”. But it’s fully as offensive as the other items cited, I agree.
Regarding its origin – I’m certain that it predates the 1995 SNL skit mentioned in Reimann’s cite. In the first place, that use doesn’t make any sense unless the meme was already well-established. But I know I saw a cartoon – in the New Yorker , no less – in which a writer’s-blocked writer is leaning on his desk and typewriter at a beach bungalow while his girlfriend or wife stands behind him with a plate bearing a sandwich. The dialogue below the cartoon has her suggesting he write about his being unable to write and always asking his wife/girlfriend to make him sandwiches. Then says “here’s your sandwich”.
– CalMeacham, who, too the best of his recollection, has never asked his wife to make him a sandwich.
I think, though that what makes this a sexist meme is the order by the husband for the wife to make a sandwich.
As often as not, it is paired with the woman asserting her own agency in some way, at which point the order follows. It’s a way of keeping the woman “in her place” in the sexist viewpoint - “what you just said doesn’t matter, now go wait on me hand and foot.”
- SunUp, who has asked his wife to make a sandwich for him on occasion when pressed for time, but would never dream of making that an order.
Just gonna leave this here…
Excellent!
That’s awesome!
Hahahah. That’s great.
Married 26 years. I told my wife to do something exactly once (not an order). I told her to “Pack me a bag”. I was on the phone and just discovered that my mother was in the hospital - ER. It was 8pm and I had yet to get the details and I had 100 mile mountain drive ahead of me as soon as I hung up.
Also:
I don’t get it.
It’s a Linux joke - “sudo” is a powerful command that enables users to run commands with elevated privileges like a superuser.
Please might have worked. On me anyway.
Of course, it’s a bit ironic in that you only use “sudo” in situations where you can’t do something yourself, with your own level of privilege. So telling someone to make it themselves is a nonstarter; rather, sudo grants you the privilege to do something yourself, not to tell another entity (process?) to do it for you.
I will stop now before I try to overexplain the setuid bit.
A town in New Hampshire is considering banning art - all of it - from public display because one of the town councilors belives that rainbows grant power to Ishtar, who was able to return to our realm because of the Stonewall riot and is seeking revenge on Christianity for suppressing her cult.
“sudo”, in the weird sometimes backwards way of nerds, is shorthand for “su”. It means “SuperUser, do:”, so it is, in its way, a compliment for him to call her the supervisor.
Not really, they’re two different commands. sudo gives you superuser privileges if you’re allowed (there’s a list of allowed users and allowed commands), to execute another command, and you have to enter your own password. With su (which means ‘substitute user’, not ‘super user’), you have to give the password for the user you’re attempting to impersonate (the default is root, so thinking that su stands for ‘super user’ is understandable). So if you have the correct permissions set up, you can run sudo su to become root, without knowing the root password.
You should probably go and make yourself a sandwich instead.
