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.
You have any proof of this or are you just assuming that happens because you can't fathom that many people actually disagreeing with you?
You'll notice your comrade is the one that mentioned brigading. I only said there were a lot of hexbear users piling onto people that disagree with OP, which is obvious reading through the post. I can't hold your hand on that though, if you don't possess the reading comprehension to see that that's on you.
You're obnoxious. Hexbear is one of the largest instances, comparable to lemmy.ml which is where this was posted. There are also users from lemmy.ml and other instances agreeing with OP.
You're just a huge fucking baby that thinks encountering lots of opposing opinions must be some grand conspiracy against you.
Again with the lack of reading comprehension. Did I say it was only hexbear users piling on? No. I just pointed out that there are a lot of hexbear users piling on. Your persecution complex is showing.
I'm not sure where you assumed I"m upset about anything here or that I think there's a conspiracy against me. Hello projection.
Right back at you. Nobody is "piling on", there's just more people disagreeing with you than agreeing, deal with it baby.
Lmao are you gonna bust out the I'm rubber you're glue next? You lack reading comprehension and you've devolved to throwing insults instead of having a discussion.
If you can't see all the hexbear users piling onto those that disagree with OP I don't know what to tell you.
Good luck out there.
Again, that's not piling on, that's just your fragile ego not being able to handle a lot of people calling your opinion garbage.
Why do you insist on centering this on me? Mentioning the piling on was my first comment here. There's zero chance I was referring to myself lmao and I'm still not.
Your constant need to go after me is pretty telling. I'm curious what your definition of piling on is if attacking people instead of their argument doesn't meet that bar.
And again, not talking about myself. And if you need examples I invite you to read all of the responses in the thread objectively, and not as a hexbear user with already hurt feelings.
I actually did re-read the entire thread extremely objectively (I put on my maximum objectivity cap) and I stand by my initial conclusion that you're a huge fucking baby.
Dealing with you is tiring just like every maga idiot ever parroting the same bullshit and never actually addressing a point. You sure you didn't go so far left you ended up in rightville? You may have dropped your red hat.
I'm going to take your refusal to address anything other than your weird sticking point of calling me a baby as you have no legs to stand on with regard to the actual substance of this thread.
Keep holding that L homie.
Things a baby would say: "communism is the same as MAGA"
You lot really are top tier shitters aren't you. Just grasping at concepts and twisting words to fit your little victim complex. Please show me where I equated communism to maga. That was all you babycakes.
Missing: any reference to communism.
oh shit I forgot
liberalsbabies don't have reading comprehension skills, even for things they wroteokay, so you were replying to a poster named space_comrade from a mostly communist instance of lemmy and then you asked if they had gone so far left that they ended up in rightville
hope that helps
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 🤣
