He's not illiterate, he's just too cool to care about that nerd stuff.

I checked the video and found the comment. Commenting about using Linux on that video is the equivalent of finding a turkey recipe and commenting "No thanks, I'm a vegan" on it. Then why did you open this video?!

Sure. But the original statement is just as dull. Assuming no specific context.

Ultimately, both of those commenters are annoying. Saying "I use Arch btw" is a useless self-serving statement that provides no benefit or information to the audience. But engaging with that message in the manner displayed is also pointless and stupid, even if the statement is correct.
The saving grace for the "Linux user" commenter is that they are self aware about being annoying, judging by their last comment. So hopefully they were just being ironic. Or rage baiting.

I use(d) Arch, btw.

Yeah, which is why I have "voluntarily" in italics.

I totally understand the overall ridiculousness of this, but I suspect that "mandatory" and "voluntary" apply to 2 different people in this case. Person 1 has a "mandatory shift" and person 2 is supposed to voluntarily cover that person's mandatory shift.

Wait, so experiences you have while disabling your faculties responsible for rational thinking should for some reason overrule decisions made while you're not under influence and in sound judgment? What kind of advice is that?

- Cats can speak English, dude, trust me. Once I got real high and totally understood everything this cat was telling me.

The "hand sign associated with StarTrek" is called the Vulcan salute 🖖.
And the phrase "Resistance is futile" is also regularly used on the show, repeatedly uttered by the Borg on every encounter, preceded by "You will be assimilated".

Some unsolicited trivia for you.

What's a "pipetting baby"?
Ohh... It's missing a comma.

Sorry, the last part wasn't addressed to you specifically, but to those who were saying that it's dangerous to go to Dubai.

I have some experience with Latex, but afaik, it's mostly for writing mathematical formulas and stuff, no?
