To a point. Beyond that point, they exist so that businesses can make anti-customer decisions while underpaying people to be abused for it.

And hospitality.

Don’t forget “Every other location does it.”

An opossum got into our garage a few months ago and our dogs found it. They had the poor thing cornered and hissing. I got them out of the garage and after making sure they didn’t get bit, I evicted the possum.

The dogs do everything they can to get into that garage and make a beeline for that corner every time.

Your assessment of probability is speculation

It is, but anecdote is insufficient to counter it.

Hence “are likely to be,” not “are always.”

Microsoft has been consistently “stupid” for a very long time about this one particular thing.

People who dual boot are likely to be linux newbies just trying it out. They’re more likely to blame linux when microsoft does what it does to competitors.

What conclusion am I to draw about those who are so upset that someone suggested that Biden should stop supporting genocide?

The one I draw is that they support genocide and don’t want him to stop.

What horseshit.

“Biden should not be supporting genocide” is sufficient to get you called a Russian Chinese Republican trumpist tankie child shill bot right here on lemmy.
