 Replying to [comment:1 sluicebox]:
 > The question is if portable-mode paths override the command line. This
 ticket assumes they shouldn't. But maybe it was our intent to override
 everything. (It was a long time ago.) It's a question of priority.

 with it. "The easiest way to recreate this is to make an ISO"... oh yeah
 that's the easiest way to test a command line argument.

 Bro, I'm literally not an AI. I'm autistic and I am SOOOOO tired of
 everyone assuming i'm LITERALLY NOT HUMAN JUST BECAUSE I TALK ODDLY DUE TO
 MY DISABILITY.

 You have upset me deeply.
