Systemd Conspiracy Theory Guy Cornering You at the Urinal

Description

A photo meme showing two men in a public restroom. One man (in a grey bomber jacket, holding a drink) is standing uncomfortably close to another man who is using a urinal, with a speech bubble reading 'Systemd is how they control your mind, bro.' The image captures the archetype of the overzealous Linux enthusiast who corners people in inappropriate settings to rant about systemd - the controversial init system replacement for Linux that has been a divisive topic in the Linux community since its adoption. The grey-tiled bathroom setting, the drink in hand suggesting a social event, and the complete disregard for urinal etiquette perfectly encapsulate the intensity of systemd debates in the Linux world

    I wish there was a systemd for the mind. could stop the service that's constantly playing songs in my head

      There is one trick that works for me and probably can works for you too - if you want to stop annoying song in your head you need to imagine (or listen) song with odd time signature or just with breaking rhytm. First time i have heard this solution with example of Rammstein with a song with same name (Rammstein). For me it works with any song from the Dillinger Escape Plan
