    Man, I looked at this too long, wondering who "9$$" is supposed to be and what a weirdo meme this is. Then I looked at the community this comes from and saw that it really is a weirdo meme.

    Yes, but extract the underlying meaning of what you're doing and apply it to real life without linux or a computer involved.

    I don't know what the rules are about trigger warnings here so I'll avoid being more explicit.
