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.

    Lucky! My wife just browses Instagram on her phone , occasionally saying "uh huh," while I ramble on about my latest obsession like a toddler talking about seeing a garbage truck.

    I just realized that's how my wife sees me after my son was explaining how a sink works for the 73rd time. My takeaway is I need to be more invested in what he's talking about no matter how boring, cause getting ignored when you're excited about something doesn't feel great.

    The other takeaway is my wife isn't mean, I just talk a lot.

    Same! She'll pay attention for a bit, but I realize I can be a bit relentless in my info-dumps.

    It's not really luck.

    My wife is also an instagram addict. But I'm genuinely interested in what she sees in instagram, and she's genuinely interested in what I like. Cause...you know, we love each other.

    To be fair, I am playing it up a bit. The reality is that she's an extreme introvert and needs alone time to decompress after work. We make it work - mostly by sharing memes with each other.

    Get out of here with your healthy relationship!

    Wow stays in the same room as you? All I get is the back of her head as she walks away.
