I grew up in the Silicon Valley and I thought the same thing until I moved away.
- eruditely 11y agoExactly where? People calling the bay area the "silicon valley" is strange to me. Kids don't even agree you're from the same area if you're not from a certain side of a city, so you have to specify where and when. There is a big difference between "east side san jose" or sunnyvale or something.
- pikachu_is_cool 11y agoSunnyvale. 3 blocks from Apple HQ.
- eruditely 11y agoIsn't that cupertino? There's a huge difference between different subcultures, I grew up in san jose and can recognize extreme differences in each city and side of a city.
- pikachu_is_cool 11y agoApple HQ is on the edge of Cupertino. And yeah I agree, San Jose is a lot more chill... but IMO that's because there's less of the Silicon Valley there, if that makes sense.

- pikachu_is_cool 11y agoHm, I guess we grew up in different parts or got exposed to different types of people. Oh... and for the record, I just agree with the narcissistic part... I have no idea what OP is talking about with regards to being obnoxious, pathological liars, self-promoters, etc.
