Stickers themselves can be fun and quirky, but I for the life of me can't figure out why people would put such extremely divisive and workplace-unnecessary messaging on their MAIN WORK DEVICE as many of these have.

The kind of lack to integrate to a team having your pride flags, literal death threats to perceived enemies, furries, loli anime, etc on a thing you intend to bring to the workplace to do all your work on isn't good for your career and sure as hell won't not be noticed by people whose responsibility is to judge risk and liabilities for example.

Tech stacks, not party flags.

Thanks for the reminder to put a pride flag on my new work computer. Can't for the life of me figure out why it'd be divisive though.

Also, why do you assume these aren't people's personal computers? Many people surely own computers personally, and of course people can express themselves on personal property.

They're talking about having a pride flag on their laptop, not having sex at work.

Do you say the same about someone who has a picture of their spouse next to their computer?
