• LMAO, that is pretty funny. It was random, but if you read the meme the distracted boyfriend is looking at the not suped up version. It’s obvious the meme and word were not connected. The mod was just being an asshole. Hilarious that that is even a phrase though.

      I think I saw your original post and have to admit that I was a bit confused about the title, but the first thing that came to mind was that you’re talking about ricing, so I get why the mod felt like it was meant to mean ricing

      • I mean, I remember way back when, some people called suped up cars “rice burners.” I’ve certainly never heard it applied to a computer. But meh, I can see your points. Still blocking them because I don’t know how many times I need to read that China good US bad, so it’s a win in the end.

        I’ll take this as a learning moment.

          I have not been a part of the Linux community for very long but I’ve heard it a few times already, and since people usually don’t just pick random words as a post title, our brains start to look for any kind of connection a poster might have meant. Maybe an ootion for you would be to use very generic titles? Like “meme” or “image” maybe. I think this was mostly a really unfortunate coincidence, but I get that you’d rather just have a less political feed anyways.
