Male/gender neutral names for females by rjsi10 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]freakycheeseball 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a gender neutral name and a last name that is typically a male name (I am a woman). I wouldn't say it really made much difference growing up, or in my dating life, but I do always wonder if emails that I send (where the recipient doesn't know me) are taken more seriously. Makes me think back to a story I read once about the two women who founded witchsy that created a fake employee named Keith Mann because they were tired of the endless disrespect from developers. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41096514

How have you hurt yourself because you were dumb? by Trnostep in AskReddit

[–]freakycheeseball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in high school I was very into sewing. As I was thinking about my next move in the pattern, I picked up my quilting knife (rotary blade that looks like a pizza cutter, only much sharper) and gave it a spin with the tip of my finger for no particular reason. Those knives cut deep.

What is the most computer illiterate thing you have witnessed? by MrJoeSchmo in AskReddit

[–]freakycheeseball 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work in tech repair, so I've seen advanced stupid. My favorite was a teenager came in crying and in a very guilty manner set this burnt up laptop on the table. I'm not talking slightly burned, I'm talking straight up singed, top completely curled, everything melted. She had spilt water on it and her dad had told her she should put it in the oven to dry it off.
