Lemmy: Linux is my boyfriend

YTA your bf needs some space and you should be more considerate of his hobbies. Maybe he needs this to be thriving in his life and tbh you should ask yourself if you're not already abusing him. If I were him that would be a massive red flag to me. Have you thought about cutting all relationships to appease him, that would be the least you can do

Lemmy: my new girlfriend caught me installing arch while wearing her thigh highs

Old/Dad Lemmy: my wife of 20 years caught me installing mint while eating her chocolate.
- Is chocolate worth eating if it doesn't have mint?

you aren't a true linux user if you haven't considered living your life alone at least a couple of times, and knew that you would be okay with it.

This is too true
- it really is
Speaking of linux and living alone, the times I’ve managed to solve tech problems without the internet, using only documentation, have always made me feel like a badass
- it's some real shit.
  It's better if you sleep on that shit, and realize what the solution is after the fact, only to have it work first try, that shits so good.
  The only thing i've ever experienced that was better was unfucking some fucked wiring for a technical minecraft design, it's hard but god does it feel so fucking good.
- When you go on the Internet, nine times out of ten all you'll get is idiots telling you "install arch noob" (they've been running linux for all of six months), "it works here" (different environment altogether), "you should redo all of your project with
  <pet project>
  instead" (sure, let's spend three months redoing everything)...
  So the documentation is typically a safer bet. Not always, but often.
A new sign of loneliness is being a linux user(?) I get trashed by my friends for using Linux and none of them using. That's exactly the point.
- the joke is that you have your priorities set straight.
  No time for relationships when you could be learning about the kernel my friend.
  also to be clear, it's not loneliness if you're content with being alone. Alone, and lonely, are two separate sides of the same coin. You can feel lonely in a room full of people, and you can be/feel alone when around nobody, without feeling lonely.
Sigh...
- we can be alone together, and stay a significant distance away from each other on account of the being alone part :)

Also Lemmy: look at things made of jeans!

Literally never seen any post about things made of jeans. What's wrong with my phone?
- I think it was a one or two day thing, but it was glorious!
- What’s wrong with my phone?
  It's not made out of jeans.
- Let's fix that: https://youtu.be/IvJYw7T0de8
Also Lemmy: BEANS!
You can walk from the top of the stairs to my room in the basement and still be in my mother's house. Girlfriends cannot comprehend this distance.
JJ Jeans if you know what I mean

Is my only friend*

Also, it's Arch btw

lemmy: excuse me, do you have a moment to discuss our lord and saviour, Arch linux?

Linux is a god

Linux is the breeze in my hair on the weekend

Linux a relaxing thought

Aren't you envious that for you it's not?

Sweet like honey, linux is a cat

Purring in my lap 'cause it loves me

Flexing like a goddamn acrobat

Me and linux vibe like that

It puts the lotion on its skin, or else it gets the hose again
