What makes you think I've internalized such a thing?

The stereotype is that losers live with their parents. It was fairly common for smarter new grads to live with their parents (to save more money). These days, it seems almost mandatory in many cases, especially if they can't find a job.

That said, even with it being obvious what's going on, the idiots can't resist saying the dumbest thing. But that's them in general: no matter what's going, they are always looking for a way to say something stupid.

As for me, I'm 30 and living with my mother, but I'd definitely rather not be. I'm not living with her to be smarter, it's because I'm unemployed and unable to function due to mental illness (though as I said above, I think someone is did this to me).
