Googler... ex-Googler

Google is one of those places where you never need to ask if someone worked there.

self fulfilling prophecy though, because the people who worked at Google but don't tell you about it, won't tell you about it, so you don't know they did so you're only going to hear about it from the ones you hear about it from

believing it to be the empty set is on you, man.

I dunno man, I've been making a similar joke for well over a decade, so it seems like a common perspective.

That being said I talk about my former big tech all the time too, so maybe I'm part of the problem?

To pick a different topic, I know a couple of vegans. Some of them are militant about it, others simply are not. You'd never know that about them unless it really came up.

Can you explain for the uninitiated what that means? Is that like PTSD?

"You don't need to ask, they'll tell you" - a claim that the people who work there will brag about it.

And while there may be some truth to it, keep in mind that you hear about the ones that will tell you, you don't hear about most of the ones that don't.

"How do you know if someone is the sort of person to make derogatory jokes about 'the way certain sorts of people are'?"
