For me that usually means I'm either choosing a new background or modifying the desktop.

If I'm watching porn. I keep it up. Assert dominance, like the dude in my porn.

- Yes dad! I'm a sissy removed, and I like to watch man like me getting steamrolled by big black hunks!

- I came to ask you if you wanted a slice of pizza... but okay.

I don't even watch porn and still I always get uncomfortable when someone sees my screen. Is it really that difficult to knock, and come in after you have received some kind of response?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah, I (used to?) always switch to my desktop when someone's coming in, regardless of what I was doing. I wonder if people think I'm looking at porn non-stop.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I always do this and your comment specifically made me realize how that could look to other people.

At least sometimes they get to see a flash of a Word document when I'm half a second too late

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Same. It's to avoid people asking what I am doing and me having to explain.
"Nothing."

He's just ricing his Desktop Environment, nothing to see here.

"Honey, we need to tall about our child and his computer activities lately."

"Oh shit, he found internet porn, didn't he?"

"No, worse, he's an Arch Linux user."

That's not something you have to find out.

The kid will tell you. Over and over and over.

And even worse yet he's using a tiling window manager

Ctrl+win+arrows Just go to an alternate desktop with "productive stuff", that has a word doc from a long time ago open

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

Or alt tab to another browser window for kittens or something.

"You looking at pussy on the internet??"
"Yup!"

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Honestly, I could be watching the most innocent thing on the internet, I will always Win+D when someone walks into my room

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

The real sneaky is to have a WIN+CTRL+D second desktop with a couple of innocuous windows open and WIN+CTRL+RIGHT arrow to switch to it.

No matter what I'm doing on my computer, I'll always hide it when someone enters my room

HHHAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRKKK

The problem is not anything on my screen, the one with FF usually open is turned away from the door. Me not wearing pants would probably be more sus.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's why you just stop wearing pants

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yup. Skirts are much more comfortable anyway. That would look weird in combination with the full beard tho.
Guess it must go then.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Skirts and leggings. Pure comfort!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I wear cute and colorful tights but same effect!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Scottish Kilt. Thats the solution!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I would much rather shave, wear makeup, skirts and cute colorful tights and be called a female anyways.

But then again some would call that perspective out as being an outlier. :P

For the menfolk, and those who are male identifying, I do highly recommend kilts...and they do make some pretty neat ones including many pockets if needed.
