I encourage you to pay close attention when they start teaching the concept of comparison in 2nd grade.
The point was to shine a light on the fallacy that one person’s experience represents the whole. What else were you trying to bring to the conversation except to say, “I think Windows is fine.”

I prefer something like, “only an idiot tries to shit on someone else and group together large swaths of humanity because they don’t understand what’s being said but they still want to to feel relevant.”
