I don’t disapprove of your stickers. Do you disapprove of my sticker-free laptop? I was simply giving you a truthful counterpoint.
Those boring people may not be boring. And those stickers that you use as a signal may just be part of a persona you are trying to project. But we don’t really know because we are staring at each other’s laptops across a void and judging based on that. :-)
Of course. I've already stated that I allow for that possibility.
I tend to instinctively think of them as kinda boring (until proven otherwise).
Note "think of" not "know" and "until proven otherwise".
You seem to be taking a much stronger stance though, in saying
I know they are compensating for lack of personality by displaying flair in the lamest way possible.
So somehow you "know" all that just based on looking at a laptop lid across the void? shrug
Anyway, different strokes for different folks and all that. I'll keep rocking stickers on my laptop, and you keep rocking your plain laptop lid and I guess we can all be happy. :-)
