  First frame does not even address vanity sizing. I wore a large (mostly for boobage. I'm not fat) in 1999. I'm exactly the same weight and height, and I wear a medium now. Sizes themselves are creeping upward.

I bought new trousers over the summer, and even after going down a size they are larger than pairs from the same brand that are three years old.
  I have “good” coats that are twenty years old, the labels say they’re four sizes bigger than I currently wear but they fit me perfectly.

  > First frame does not even address vanity sizing.
  
  The data is the data. It doesn't address anything: it's just data.
  
  The joke I was going to make was that nobody knew what a "Linux" was back then and you could convince a girl to go with you before she realizes that you've taken her to a hole full of sweaty nerds and you realize that girls can't tell the difference between computers and MtG. If you're a girl, the joke doesn't land, so I'm going to invoke the Laws of the Internet, you're a dude. Sorry, I hate to do that to a person but now that you're a guy, you understand: IDIFTL.
  
  (The actual reason is that sizes trended upwards when "Linux Symposium" is a thing that your company might buy you a ticket to, so it's going to be older/fatter people attending it. Linux is now a thing you make money from, not a new thing that kids are excited about. The implication that Linux makes you into a fat nerd is funny, though. Ruining a joke by fact-checking it is lulz-assassination.)

  > I'm not plan9 lvls deep yet though
  
  You know, people will jump into zsh or fish and relearn everything and rewrite their scripts and Plan 9 is just an interface, you know? Like, even if I'm just doing Linux shit, nowadays I am more likely to do it using acme/rio (though that was a simple transition because before that I was usually doing it in Inferno, where I am still doing stuff).
  
  People think Plan 9 is wizard shit, they think Inferno is wizard shit, it's really not. People will run Electron applications that run an entire browser and a JS runtime and that browser is Chrome so it has an entire USB subsystem stack in it and GPS, shit so massive that it makes Eclipse look trim. And then you have Inferno and it's like running a (faster) JVM, but where the JVM includes JWT and that has a file manager widget, Inferno draws a window and puts a shell in it and cp and mv and ls and stuff, so there's the Unix idioms instead of the Windows idioms. You think about it as a component of the system and it's less of a big deal.
  
  KVM is much more lightweight than the JVM. So you can run a little Plan 9 VM, drawterm into it, and it's another interface into the system.

  People are surprised I learned linux at 15 because I wanted to rice and make my desktop kawaii, but that's exactly what I did. Some guy on campus tried to talk to me about linux once after I mentioned it in class and I walked away because that's gross.

  That's like hating movies or books. Sturgeon's Law: 90% of everything is crap. I don't plan to evangelize, though; I don't get paid for that. I'll just say that it is legitimately impossible to hate Perfect Blue and we can agree to disagree.

  I don't follow comic books and I really hate anime/manga (not sure which that is) so I'd never have put that together.

  > You're implying that people fatten as they age? Not necessarily...
  
  If we are talking about a group of people, then individual cases no longer matter, aggregate cases do. I don't need to imply it: the average person weighs more at 30 than they did at 20. I see a photo of myself at 20 and I look like I escaped from a concentration camp. It's not the case for *everyone* but it is the case for most people, and if we are looking at aggregates and drawing inferences, then we look at the typical case.
  
  I am saying that everyone aged by nine years and that the audience for the first conference is not necessarily the second, and that it is possible to ruin a joke.

It is possible to not gain much weight. I knew a lot of fat people my age when I was a teenager, but most teenagers are bean-pole skinny. I know it's possible to stay in shape, but this still doesn't change what the average numbers are for all people across human history. Even silverback gorillas have recognizable "dad-bod". So the Linux conference is selling shirts that are way larger in 2008 than they were in 1999, it's probably because the demographic skewed older.
  
  (I am actually losing weight. I ate a bowl of peanut butter after lunch yesterday in order to slow this process. Like, dumped about a quarter of a jar of peanut butter into a bowl and stirred in some unsweetened cocoa powder and had that with popcorn.)

  Sounds like you're striking a decent balance of carbs and fats if you're trying to avoid weight loss.
  I probably derailed the original purpose of the chart, and I apologize. I have personal reasons to be very angry about

  No, I was running Slackware. Just a feller's metabolism at 20 is a thing. Nine years is the difference between 25 and 34, and I know how much I weighed at 25 and at 34.

  As we age, bones firm up and faces expand. Our calorie use changes. We tend to get a little beefier.
  
  Then some people are just fat fuckin' slobs, but a lot of them are lovely anyway.

  I don't dispute that, but I definitely blame the individual. The attitude I object to is, "It happens to many people, therefore it MUST happen, and there's nothing I can do about it." Horse ca-ca.

  I presented facts, not proscriptions. The shirts got bigger. If we assume that the image is real, then it's likely that the demographic skewed older. People usually gain weight as their metabolism slows. Maybe they shouldn't; that's their business, not mine.

  You should address whoever says this, then. I just say it's the likely case that it did happen. You're talking "ought", I'm talking "is"; "other people ought" sounds like it's not my business.

  It is possible to remain fit into your years. I don't know what that has to do with the price of fish.

  Would you rather eat a year-old steer or a decade-old bull? One of them is gonna make a much more gristly steak than the other. :leahyplan: "Tempest fuck it."
  
  At any rate, if you are looking at an aggregate figure (such as the distribution of shirt sizes) then *usual* case (that one gains weight as one ages) is what you expect to see. If you're looking at a distribution and it moves, you can reason that something happened. If the thing that happened can be explained by looking at a thing that happened to everyone, then you can roll with that until you have evidence to the contrary.
