Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    It's about the complex rationalizations used to create excuses (pretexts).

    The original is this:

    Alright I won't argue about that specific version's point, but this is basically a template for constructing a strawman argument.

    Lmao this is the first time I'm seeing this format, I like the content so far.

    I feel like that's really crappy non-vegan mental gymnastics. I think veganism is morally superior, but I really want to show mine off, just because I'm offended by how stupid all these are-the fact I know they're real makes me more ashamed of eating that yogurt earlier than any amount of chatt slavery or butchery ever will.

    Init as in 'contraction of "isnt it”’? Or as in 'initialize'?
