  • 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.

    My entire school had a banned words list they put on a board near the main door.

    I remember walking in past the board one morning only to get pulled back by a friend, he didn't say anything just stood pointing at the board....They added 'Milf' to the list of banned words.

    I was already gonna make fun of the useless red circle, you didn't need to misplace it lol

    [–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 32 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

    It says words, not phrases. So you're not allowed to use "I," "use," "by," "the," "way," or "and."

    Me utilises masonry bow, coincidentally

    [–] Tja@programming.dev 6 points 9 hours ago

    Why use many word when few word do trick.

    [–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 9 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

    They really hate "Miku" so they added it twice

    [–] Zabjam@lemm.ee 5 points 9 hours ago

    Wait until you hear about "tung"

    [–] Hupf@feddit.org 5 points 10 hours ago

    That would actually be an interesting challenge for an English class.

    [–] AnotherPenguin@programming.dev 50 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (2 children)

    All words starting with N are banned I guess, like I use Nix btw

    The concept of "banned words" (other than the offensive stuff, of course) in a classroom is so funny to me. There is no way that the person who came up with that wasn't the sourest loser ever.

    [–] JustTesting@lemmy.hogru.ch 14 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

    Plus kids will find a way. Our english teacher didn't want us to say 'shit', but to use 'sugar' instead.

    There was a lot of 'bullsugar' and similar in that class.

    [–] pyre@lemmy.world 4 points 10 hours ago

    yeah this just basically "come up with a bunch new things that'll annoy us"

    [–] Vitaly_Chernobyl@sopuli.xyz 27 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

    Try teaching middle school. You’ll understand. That being said, teachers mostly do this as a joke.

    [–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

    I'm a school bus driver and we're supposed to not allow foul language. It's only a problem on the middle school runs, and it's not really worth the effort on my part to do anything about it. I'm just happy when I can unload all the kids and nothing has been set on fire.

    School bus driving--- Mixing truck driving with zoo keeping.........

    Good Luck out there! Keep your sanity! I'm pulling for you!

    I always assumed (hoped) these were put up as jokes by the teachers. "Dang it Jeremy that's another one for the board!" type of banter.

    [–] Bluewing@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

    It often is. Teachers understand those kids need to have something that they can call their own. Every generation does these things with language.

    But I'm sure there are some teachers out there that foolishly try to squash the words.

    [–] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org -1 points 6 hours ago

    Also of all the words banned, there is only one they are not allowed to spell

    Looks like they banned how to use image editing software as well.

    This must be out of date, there's no big back or turning Ohio or anything. Not even a "ACkShuLly it's GNU...."

    [–] dustyData@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

    My friend, sorry to break it to you. But you are the one out of date. Big back and turning Ohio are long gone. Those kids are already on the β€œI'm too cool to like my childhood things anymore” stage.

    [–] theblips@lemm.ee 3 points 3 hours ago

    Ohio is ancient, nay! Prehistoric compared to tralalero tralala
