My laptop hasn't had stickers since a CTO asked why mine didn't have any stickers like the ones on the laptops of his cool cloud team. Personally I've found laptop stickers bad taste since then.

To me stickers on laptops are as tasteless and kitschy as tattoos. I would never get a tattoo for the same reason I would never put a sticker on my laptop.

Besides nobody gives a shit about your stupid political opinions or the software stack you use.

They won't give a shit about your political opinions as long as it's one of those in the linked gallery of corporate-friendly pre-approved ones.

Anything right of center and suddenly people start caring very much.

Of course, that's another thing. The site is full of "down with the system" types which are, for some reason, oblivious to the irony of their values being aligned with the corporate values of businesses that have a valuation of trillions.

sometimes i forget that other critics of capital can also have regressive troglodyte opinions on gender roles and sexuality. thanks for the reminder!

What if furthering the human species through the use of stable two-parent households happens to be my kink? You wouldn't kink shame, would you?

It will always be funny to me how little it takes for the mask of limitless tolerance to slip and reveal what you people think of those of us who dare even dream of deviating from the prevailing social norms.

This would do rounds on TruthSocial or X, The Everything App. Might I suggest moving this conversation over there?

What criticism, calling them "regressive troglodyte opinions" without any substantiation? You're not trying to have an argument, you're just trying to start a flame war.

ok, let me "hn-speak" what's already a clear position that you understand that i hold:

i think your views on women's roles are ridiculous, to the point of deserving hyperbolic comparison. your position is misogynistic, bigoted and repulsive to the ideas of self-determination, social equity, liberty, and nonaggression... summarized perhaps irreverently but not inaccurately by the phrasing "regressive troglodyte."

but you knew what i was saying.
