I agree. I've never had a girlfriend or worked at a startup, but I hope I'd be mature enough not to care if she used Windows, had an obsolete/nonexistent gaget

I agree. I've never had a girlfriend or worked at a startup, but I hope I'd be mature enough not to care if she used Windows, had an obsolete/nonexistent gaget collection and was happy working in a cubicle. And that I'd understand her well enough to be able to show my affection in ways that meant something to her, rather than requiring her to understand that it means something to me.
- akd 18y agoHow many people have you teased for being technologically inferior, such as writing "u" instead of you or accidentally installing Gator? When you rip into other people for doing this, even if not directly towards your girlfriend, she sees that and probably starts feeling self-conscious if she is a technological dunce too.

- iron_ball 18y agoFine. use of native language == intellectual status. And if you disagree with me there, I'd like to know why.
- aaronblohowiak 18y agoI agree that clarity of language may reflect clarity of thought. There are many reasons to "play dumb", from fitting in to intentional deception.
