Show notes

The golden rules of the show

no discussion on British v American pronunciation

don’t deride one of the punching bags that nerd culture seems to have mutually agreed upon (e.g. Microsoft, PHP, Android, etc)

no mock-outrage at someone not having seen/read/listened to something (“You haven’t seen Star Wars? I don’t think we can be friends anymore” blah, blah, blah)

don’t repeat jokes - if someone said something “funny” and the other person doesn’t react, don’t repeat the joke unless the other person asks.

don’t mock/imitate - current trendy movie lines.
