> They all look the same. They all reflect similar taste. Quite a bit of politics, but is there a single right wing sticker? I couldn't find one.

If one of the laptops had a libertarian flag added, suddenly it would become "creative"? All these photos⁰¹²³⁴ are aesthetically distinct. Sure, you can see trends in the website but that's always a thing, specially considering nobody there is designing stickers.

I also find it curious that you conflate social signaling with lack of (true) creativity. If all you ate was bacon, would you sneer at the foodies for making homemade pesto and not unleashing their free will by adding strawberry jam to it?

Fair point. I didn't mean to imply people's politics means they are creative or not.

But surely the bar to being creative is higher than putting stickers on your laptop. No doubt many of the people here are creative and code creatively, write creatively, draw creatively or make music.

If you said to someone who is a comedian or a writer that you were 'creative too' because of your laptop stickers. Well. C'mon.

The politics shown is interestingly similar. No doubt many and probably most lean left. But not all. I've been worked with many people who code and a significant number are conservative. But I've never seen anyone with a right leaning laptop sticker. Tattoos you see exhibit more variety than these laptop stickers.

I should have added that I have stickers on my laptop. But that is orthogonal to whether I'm creative or not.


(I misunderstood you then, sorry!)

Well, the subtitle is "a unique collection of laptops adorned with creative stickers from around the world". Meaning that the sticker themselves are creative, not necessarily the collage, which it also can be art by itself (I wouldn't say it fits here)

>But surely the bar to being creative is higher than putting stickers on your laptop. No doubt many of the people here are creative and code creatively, write creatively, draw creatively or make music.

I think a certain selection and positioning can be creative.

>If you said to someone who is a comedian or a writer that you were 'creative too' because of your laptop stickers. Well. C'mon.

Depends, is the comedian Jerry Seinfeld?

I'm kidding (kinda). I personally understand creativity as something very much lower stakes, but that might be my ESL showing.

That's the wildcard card option, you never know what you'll get.
