I’ll start it off:

  • Windows is a perfectly fine OS, as long as you use Enterprise or Server (Home and Pro are crap)
  • Self driving cars are the future since the US won’t fully embrace mass transit

For a bunch of nerds who claim to have been picked on a lot in high school, we sure do push people away quite a bit.

You'd like to think the pain of being excluded would lead to people be more accepting, but it usually just pushes them to form their own groups so that they can exclude others too.

    That's been my experience. The other day we had a post that made fun of "sportsball" and very few seemed to get the irony of it. Sure I made that joke for a while when I was younger, then I realized that by doing it I was doing the same thing to those who like sports that they did to me in high school with video games.

    It's not some equalizing or justice, it's lowering yourself to their level. What's worse is that at least most of them did it in high school when that stuff mattered. It's sad doing it now as adults when it takes nothing to just be accepting of everyone's interests.
