Someone too poor to afford a laptop. They have to settle for an old desktop and cant go anywhere or be mobile so they get agressive towards laptop users. They dont have the money to afford a good laptop or any laptop for that matter so they hate on them because they cant afford it and are stuck immobile at a desktop. Desktops are for poor people.
Oh awesome, Tony just bought a new laptop. Too bad you're laptopless. You're Poor.
I have 3 laptops and 3 desktops. You can't afford either. You're Poor.
With down-sizing and everyone doing double-duty, most people can't afford to go without their computers for even an hour in an office setting. Even in meetings where people are supposed to focus on the task at hand, they are doing other work on their laptops while the meeting is going on. This usually means less attention and focus in the meeting. Going into a meeting without your laptop is going "laptopless"
Kevin's new year's resolution is to go laptopless to meetings so that he can focus on what the boss is saying.
Single people that sit sagely for an hours in cafés with their macbooks. Sometimes they are working indeed. But more often «they want to see people and they want to see life». L. are hated by other part of café visitors, who wants to have a short coffee break and then move on. Not infrequently, after a successful table capture the latter part mystically transforms into the former one.
- These damned laptopers again occupied all the seats in the café!
The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”
