Me stutter? No think so!

Oh, you didn't have to edit your comment. I was joking and didn't meant to shame you. It's good for building vocab for us ESLs so I did appreciate it.

the average cellphone user here is still using the equivalent of a Moto G2 or Samsung J2

I guess it depends on where you live in LATAM. Most of my friends and acquaintances own newer iPhones and fancy Androids. I'm the only one stuck with a G8. 😅

Something bad about China

So you'd rather have her not say a thing when everyone else is shutting up about this?

No! Why would you do that? When you can eat them instead

Words to live by, brother

But her emails!!

AGAIN

This is the part that gets me. I don't get it.

I didn't ignore it, I just interpret it differently as in, "I don't need to do this unusual stuff everyone does without a calculator". Calling something weird doesn't necessarily mean it's off-color or that it's a trait the other person has. In my use case, weird just means unexpected or counterintuitive, and maybe complex enough that I can't bother with describing it properly. I know because I use it that way too. Weird doesn't have to mean a third eye on your face every time. I mean, doing the weird math thing is taught in school as a strategy.

I do want to mention that it's not the first time I see a visceral reaction to a passing comment. I usually see this from marginalized groups, and I can assure you, both Kolanki and I are part of those too. And knowing his long comment history, I sincerely doubt he meant anyone is weird as shit.

And even if it's a bit thought-policey, how does that warrant calling someone a fascist and going off on them like that? That's also a bit weird (as in odd).
