About your Crossfit addiction. The trifecta.
One must understand that the operating system that you use does NOT come up in normal everyday conversation. Nobody cares. If you mention this you’re going to be looked at as the biggest dweeb in a 100 mile radius. Every pussy will dry up in the immediate vicinity. You will be forever shunned in social circles, and will likely never live it down.
So of course you mention Arch first!
I would have thought so. But you’d be surprised how often it can crop up. Somebody wears an old hat or shirt with a logo, or someone complains about a change at work or whatever.
It won’t be often, but I’ve run into OS discussions maybe three times this year, and I’m fairly antisocial.
9/10 it’s going to be someone bitching about win 11, and someone else saying “hey, south uses Linux something-or-other, go ask him.” And then the conversation happens.
That other one time is usually tangential, where I’m talking about writing and the conversation moves to the programs used, which leads to questions about why I use libreoffice, and the fact that I use it on mint as part of explaining my setup.
Now, I don’t use arch, nor do I usually bring it up outside of a few friends that have abandoned windows. But I have run into a few arch users here and there.
What’s that? I couldn’t hear you over the sound of my wife’s pussy drying up and she was just sitting next to me while I read that!
Every pussy will dry up in the immediate vicinity.
Does that include my own pussy too? That would be tragic 😔
Would also like to know. I use Arch everyday and have never noticed any dryness 🤷🏻♀️ I talk to my spouse about Arch (he also uses Arch BTW) and can’t say as I have experienced any changes at all. Almost as though my pussy has no fucks to give about what distro I use.
No, for women, every man in the immediate radius will start sending you unsolicited dick pics. So I’m not sure if anything will actually change there…

Except when you mention you use NixOS to your crush who uses gentoo (true story)
Neither.
I tell them about the ethical supply chain that produces my Fairphone.
this is the main problem i have with fairphones. i prefer completely unethically sourced products
Behold: I’m the archvegan!
vegan archbishop also sounds pretty cool but then people are gonna assume you’re catholic
I don’t volunteer either piece of information, but sooner or later someone is going to overhear me ordering vegan food or see me opening my lunch and the dreaded conversation will have to happen. I wish people would just let me make my own food choices in private without making a big thing about it.
But they feel attacked. They want to continue living in blissful ignorance of how animals are treated or how bad it is for the environment. Same as windows users who don’t want to be reminded what corporate cucks they are. Some even go so far as to become utter bootlickers (see also Elon Musk fanboys)
I usually ask when someone eats any exotic cereals or processed (tofu, seitan) to 1 have something to talk about (I very much enjoy tofu and all uncommon cereals) 2 know their dietary restrictions to avoid offering them meat or taking care of that whenever there’s an outing. You know, small talk.
… or they’re curious. Schools these days educate people about animal treatment, but some people don’t really care that much, including myself.
The only class I ever had bring it up was my optional college level philosophy class, and even then I’m pretty sure it was more from the professor than the school. I freaking love that man for it, he changed my life. If you want to learn how animals are treated here, most of the time you gotta do the research yourself. Regrettably, very few people care enough to do so…
What sucks is that you have to keep it for yourself, otherwise people will think negatively of you. Because for some reason caring about animals or the climate is cringe or something idk, like it’s something to almost be embarrassed about. Which is doubly strange when animal abuse is often considered very bad by those very same people.
But I guess for many caring about other people in general is cringe as well, as long as they are sufficiently emotionally distanced, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I just wish it wasn’t, and that caring for others was the baseline more than anything else.
