My stickers are totally awesome but I could probably be deanonymized by sharing them (since they are so unique and special) so you all will not be graced by their beauty and artistry.

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.

Damn, you must be so incredibly miserable. I hope you find some happiness in your life at some point.

> keeping women chained to their desks and away from children > glorification of every other sexual special interest except the productive one Yikes, someone should check your harddrives

Those are your arguments, a stupid fucking comic and calling someone a paedophile.

Do they _need_ to be edgy? They can just be fun, happy, or a representation/proxy of the person behind the computer

Because then it's just visual clutter, and in the case of tattoos, unnecessary pain, expense and health risk. If I'm going to put a sticker on something it's going to read like a diff, what sets me apart from the mainstream culture, not all the different ways I conform to it.

>what sets me apart

Interesting. I’m happy with a fun niche, myself.

(But generally happier without stickers on expensive things.)

Tattoos, though—hard to imagine being THAT confident in anything ever.

Once either of you present an argument worthy of respect within a civil and democratic society, I will respond in kind. Until then, statements like "the glorification of every other sexual special interest except the productive one" will continue to get the responses they deserve.

When I'm driving around town and I see that soooo many vehicles have a sticker on the back, or a license plate frame, or something that advertises for the place that they bought the car at. I do not understand this at all.

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.

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

But sure, tell everyone about your feelings on tattoos and stickers
