The guy in the back blocking his face (inadvertently or not) is the average person. These two are the people who spend their lives on Twitter obsessing with this shit to the extreme. Neither are representative of the public overall and both pose the biggest problem to their own causes in trying to get the guy in the back to go along with what's rational.

But anyway, i'm kinda lost on why this has to do with race?
I agree. I am not sure Dr. Axel Folio PHD is correct that this has anything to do with race.

My daughters have ornated their laptops with various stickers, but it's a lot of Minecraft stuff lol
Mine has a giant Baymax sticker from Big Hero 6.

GTA really coming close to the video game GTA at this rate.


Police sources told CityNews a carjacking was committed when someone riding a bicycle on the highway flagged down a passing motorist. The cyclist then pulled the driver out of their vehicle and drove off.

Some of the anti-abortion crowd have tried to make the argument that legalized abortion is essentially eugenics.

It's, at best, an extremely disingenuous argument, but usually done with extremely racist connotations.

In this case, it's the juxtaposition of Activisit Barbie's Black Preborn Lives Matter sticker co-opting a racial justice slogan while sitting next to someone who is of that race and quite clearly disagrees with her.

Heh. I like that.

In InfoSecurity, you pretty much have to put stickers on your laptop. Stickers are like currency at security conferences. I used to have one on one of my laptops that said "I read your email" and HR told me that it made people uncomfortable. I did point out that they are the ones who tell me to do it. I still had to take the sticker off.
