      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.

      Every pussy will dry up in the immediate vicinity.

      Does that include my own pussy too? That would be tragic 😔

    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.

      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.

      Yeah, the stereotype drives me nuts. Like, yes, food is a big part of day-to-day life and sometimes I need to explain when asked why I’m not eating if there’s nothing for me at, say, a company event. I try to avoid it as much as possible and just say I’m not hungry.

      Right?? My work kept harassing me to order ice cream along with everyone else when I was new, and I continually told them “nah it’s okay,” “no thanks,” etc. People really can’t just leave you alone.

    What’s the arch user equivalent of getting asked if a fish is an animal?

    What’s the vegan equivalent of getting asked if you use PC or Mac?

    Vegan Arch user btw
