What are the best comebacks for common insults?

Jump

  • One I’ve heard: a guy was giving another guy some shit for drinking a “girly drink”, saying “real men don’t drink those”.

    The guy instantly responded, “Real men drink whatever the fuck they want.”

    • What is something that you pay attention to that most other people do not?

    Jump

  • Whether or not people say “yes,” or “no” when responding to others or if they say “yeah,” or “nah”. And whether or not they say please or thank you.

    • Chinese man arrested for allegedly running ‘largest ever’ malware network

    Jump 
  •  
        
print(“Hello, World!”)

    Best I can do.

    • How to send a fax from an Android phone

    Jump

  • FaxSalad. I also have needed to send a fax when I have virtually zero paper, or even when I do have paper I still have no fax machine.

    You can even send it as HIPAA-compliant which they don’t (or are not supposed to) keep a server-side copy.

    • Databases and their real world use examples

    Jump

  • Computing without databases is like going into a grocery store and all of the items are in one great pile. Sure, given enough time (CPU) and resources (RAM) you could find what you’re looking for, it’s horribly inefficient.

    Instead, things which are similar are grouped together, like the baking aisle (tables) and if you have to get most of the items for a cake, you know it’s on a specific shelf.

    • Placeboz

    Jump

  • Old-timey labels appeal to me

    • What is the Internet for?

    Jump

  • Inspired by DARPA, popularized by porn.

    • Some Microsoft services, DuckDuckGo hit by global outage

    Jump

  • There seems to be a rash of DDoS attacks lately. Something’s up.

    • Looking for a VOIP service to replace Google Fi

    Jump

  • RingCentral had some really nice features; we used it for our business several years ago and I had considered using it as a virtual clearing house for my family to help keep our personal numbers private when signing up for things.

    I had even ported a Google Voice number to RingCentral well before that process was streamlined.

    • What skill or talent took you longer than it should have to learn?

    Jump

  • Oh got it! I’m not Buddhist and was quite confused. The monk in the video spoke more about his life and living conditions and toured the video producer around to explain their daily lives. It was quite fascinating.

    • What skill or talent took you longer than it should have to learn?

    Jump

  • I can’t recognize that phrase you’ve used there, it doesn’t seem to be Esperanto. It’s been some years since I’ve studied and used it, but as I recall there is only one definite article, “La”. In use, “La vetero estas varma”, meaning “the weather is warm”.

    • What skill or talent took you longer than it should have to learn?

    Jump

  • I spent 90 days immersing myself in Esperanto on Duolingo and was blown away what I could understand about a Buddhist monk tell me about his life in Esperanto on YouTube by the end of that period.

    • Two students find security bug that could let millions do laundry for free

    Jump

  • They have yacht expenses!

    • 4ish years ago when I bought a house I was convinced not to get a house inspection, would it be crazy to get one now just to make sure it's all good?

    Jump

  • We got an inspection on both ends, when we purchased (was required by the lender) and an appraisal, too. A pre-sale inspection should indicate to you if you have any lurking problems that will come up during sale if you don’t know about them and could jeopardize a deal.

    • Scariest/creepiest production logo?

    Jump

  • That was a revolutionary day for me as well haha

    • Scariest/creepiest production logo?

    Jump

  • Not TV/movie, but Valve’s video logo and accompanying sound was pretty startling at the time.

    • He is always watching

    Jump

  • C I’m sorry +C +C +C

    • me_irl

    Jump

  • Meanwhile, iPhone users: 6:30, 6:39, 6:48…

    • Did the premise of an entity approaching you only when it's not being viewed originate with Doctor Who's Weeping Angels?

    Jump

  • “Don’t not look.”

    • What linguistic constructions do you hate that no one else seems to mind?

    Jump

  • ”Going forward”

    Because it’s a management phrase meant for discussions in directing a group that’s been co-opted by peers to make them sound more authoritative than their relative position actually is.

    Had a co-worker say this to me the other day about something and I realized that I don’t like being spoken to as a subordinate by my peers.
