    The word “daddy” has been so sexualized to the point to where if I have kids (highly unlikely scenario, since I use Arch Linux), I’ll just have them call me “father”.

        I grew up like this, using my parents first names. I started using mom/dad as a place denominator after they divorced, though.

        I’m at dads is easier than using the first name, as that could mean other people’s places, too.

        So it’s useful in a family that’s united, and everybody gets it, but it’s ironically harder to maintain after a separation. At least in my experience.

          that’s a really interesting perspective, I guess it might also be difficult for people who have friends that share a first name with their parents, I could totally see not wanting to call your dad John if that’s what you already call your best friend.

        The fact that you call it pop pop tells me you’re not ready for arch Linux
