I’ve reached the acceptance stage of possibly being a pariah in the community for not wanting to wear the socks.

I’m also a cis-gendered heterosexual married male, so I guess that tracks.

    I used to play ice hockey as a preteen/teen, so I’ve worn 'em in that context.
    
    As far as the fem-boy/“girly” ones, I’m just not into it. Any socks above mid-achilles tendon make me itch. I have hairy legs.

        Well! My wife is Dutch and she bought me a pair of Dutch HappySocks™ with stripes a few birthdays ago.
        
        I suppose I’m not that much of a pariah after all!

2. Be civil

Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like “every user of thing”.
Don’t get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
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.

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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.

4. No recent reposts

Everybody uses Arch btw, can’t quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, 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 remove France.
