People are fucking idiots about this kind of shit.

Would like an easy way to remember.

• mnt = mount
• opt = optional ?
• etc = etcetera ?
• proc = process ?
• srv = server ?
• var = variable ?

Oh no, you’re going to make me be that guy lol.

Ricing comes from “rice cooker”, meaning a Japanese car. The term is so far removed from any racial implications now, that some people say RICE means “Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements”, though it’s just an excuse where one need not exist.

I regularly see people brigade for others to stop saying it, even though the word now exists on its own. People treat it like it’s comparable to something like the Washington “Redskins”, it isn’t.

“Ricing”

Uh oh, you said the forbidden word. Won’t be long until everyone in this thread is “informed”.

What you’re referring to as GNUI, is in fact GNUI/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNUI plus Linux.

Did you just say GUI?

More like ewwwie.

Me, a sick fuck, who likes a quick fuck:

/etc/moron-syntax/I\ write\ like\ a\ gay\ fish\ \(\Kanye\)\

That’s why camelcase starts with a lower letter. If you’re using a good terminal+shell setup then it’ll be irrelevant most of the time.

I didn’t mean OP was a single-parent. I meant I haven’t met any parents.

In any case, are you telling me you haven’t ever let your kid watch TV because you were too busy?

I’m going to assume you don’t have kids.

Unless you’ve had kids you don’t understand that it is practically impossible to complete even the most basic tasks unless your child is distracted.

Staying on top of household duties while managing a child is challenging enough, but then add on work, study, and every other responsibility.

I’ve never met a single parent who shares your opinion.

It’s nice that you think I’ve got enough self control to wait for later in the day.

The moment the confrontation ends I’ll be writing my totally unbiased account of events on r/AITA so I can get immediate vindication.

“It would be weird to get offended because someone told you to”

Right, but it happens. The post which triggered this reply chain is essentially a litmas test for what I’m describing.

The acronym of RICE was made after the racist connotations were already established. It’s an attempt to rewrite history so people could continue saying it.

It is documented to have come from racial origins in the 1960’s. Yet, I can’t find anything about the acronym from more than twenty years ago.
