Meta post I’ve decided to make. I enjoyed the unixporn subreddit a lot when I used reddit more. I enjoy customizing my linux de as much as the next nerd.
But you definitely shouldn’t use racist slang to refer to the process.
To be clear, I didn’t know the origin of the term ‘ricing’ until fairly recently. I was chattimg with my friend and used it to describe my de setup. They informed me that apparently it’s from car customization, and is a pejorative against generally asian men who customize their car to look like a racecar.
After learning this I was sad to realize just how engrained it is in linux de customization culture. I personally have stopped using the term, and I would ask everyone here stop as well.
Usernames are irrelevant. Do you think I’m the middle of the night? Is your name Brett and you like macadamia nuts? McDonalds? Or are you taking maga and wanting to make america communist again? Are you a fan of the macabre and tt is your initials? You’re inserting your own prejudices to do a lot of heavy lifting here.
If you want to equate maga and communism go for it. But I didn’t and no amount of your mental gymnastics will change that.
Okay, so just to verify, you agree that communism and MAGA are incompatible and that you cannot go so far left that you end up on the right. Glad we cleared that up!
EDIT: oh and going by your standards of conversation, I never said you said Communism and MAGA are the same. I said a baby would say that. You called yourself a baby.
I don’t have an opinion on their compatibility, I don’t belong to either group and don’t have any interest in either. What I do know is both of you use the same tactics when trying to argue a point. The way you try to reframe things to insert your conclusion as fact and then act like that’s the end of it is the same shit Ben Shapiro does to OwN thE LiBs. I can also say without a doubt that both groups are equally insufferable
Uhhh mostly people just called you a baby, idk about the reframing thing
You wouldn’t see the reframing because your reading comprehension is ass. People hurling insults instead of addressing a point is classic maga, but go on, show me how you don’t argue a point the same while using the same tired tactics.
Stop reframing this conversation. My only purpose was to call you a baby.
If that were true you would have stopped after you did it. But you didn’t, because that wasn’t your only purpose, but go on keep deluding yourself.
Oh another thing babies have trouble understanding. When you reply to someone, they often reply back. I understood this when I called you a baby, but you seem to not understand why I’m still calling you a baby. It’s because my position hasn’t been swayed.
I don’t know if you know this, but nobody cares if you call them a baby. But by all means keep doing it so you can show your friends how you totally owned someone online by calling them a baby 🤣
