Let’s call it very localised cleaning.

If it can be defined as vandalism, it’s a harmless kind

Gonna hurt OP more though. I say do it if you can afford it but it’s not worth it to shoot yourself in a foot just to make a statement.

Well it was never as clear as now

I would be kinda excited if I got asked this personaly - and I’m more of a fantasy guy myself, though I love me some scifi sometimes.

Though leading with being so specific might be a bit much maybe ask first about hobbies or what they enjoy in free time in general first, to eatablish if this more specific question even makes sense? Though I do get the logic that if somebody is really into tech they will enjoy scifi
