Mac/PC

A term used to describe the phenomenon that occurs when 2 people with entirely different or opposing worldviews humour each other and pretend to be friends. Derived from the wildly successful and prolific "Get a Mac" advertising campaign by Apple, in which John Hodgman and Justin Long play personified versions of a personal computer and a Macintosh computer.
1) Atheist: I totally had to Mac/PC it last night; we had our new neighbors over for dinner and it turns out they're devout Jehovah's Witnesses.

2) Pothead: I went for my job interview today, and my potential new boss mentioned he hates marijuana users. Guess I'll have to Mac/PC it if I get the job!

PC-Nazi

Political Correctness Nazi,

Derived from Grammar Nazi, but instead of having an insatiable desire to correct every grammar mistake, PC-Nazis would go as far as stalking someone's twitter profile and correcting or criticizing every single politically incorrect statement that they find(think/imagine), they also have the outstanding ability to feel offended in behalf of somebody else, even if they're not offended at all.
A: Have you met the new guy John yet? I heard he's filipino
PC-Nazi: Oh no, how could you assume their gender before asking? You should use gender neutral pronouns! and also, it's Filipinx, Filipino is oppresive towards women and is a product of the patriarchy and mustn't be used anymore!

B: Yo check out this kimono i rented for cosplay
PC-N: How dare you commit cultural appropriation! Kimono is an integral part of Japanese culture and you're white, you do not have the privilege to wear it! Take it off or i'll brigade with random twitterheads to cancel and doxx to ruin your career!
Japanese peoples: Uhh, we have no problem with that
PC-Nazi: Shut up! You guys are being oppresed, your opinion doesn't matter(isn't it ironical lmao)

My PC

A personal computer is a multi-purpose microcomputer whose size, capabilities, and price make it feasible for individual use. Personal computers are intended to be operated directly by an end user, rather than by a computer expert or technician. Since the early 1990s, Microsoft operating systems and Intel hardware dominated much of the personal computer market, first with MS-DOS and then with Microsoft Windows. Alternatives to Microsoft's Windows operating systems occupy a minority share of the industry. These include Apple's macOS and free and open-source Unix-like operating systems, such as Linux.

The advent of personal computers and the concurrent Digital Revolution have significantly affected the lives of people in all countries.
