Because Linux doesn't just work out of the box.

Somehow the Linux evangelists never understand that point.

All your peripherals, no matter how old, and all your (legacy) software just works on windows. Maybe the OS isn't blazing fast and there is more and more so called bloatware (at least according to FOSS people), but if I plug in my 10y old Logitech wireless mouse, it works in 10 sec. In Linux I'd have to start searching for a solution, a driver, a little hack, a script, a controller repository, etc... It will work eventually, but it's not intuitive. Doubly so for people that were raised on windows.

Linux is absolutely not user friendly for non techies that have 20y of windows habits in them.

Big difference between reported rape and actual rape.

That being said, I hope for Turkmenistan and Armenia these numbers are for actual rape, good on them if it's low.

Pretty shallow and lame reason: I vastly prefer staring at a woman's ass all day over a man's. I'm already a man 24/7 of the day, might as well mix it up.

That, or if I have to follow the internet I don't realize I'm trans?

Tetris? Any remake they've made was basically just a texture pack?

Equating a human life to a financial cost is such a horrible pov imo, regardless of the crime. We should be better than that as a society

No, sex work should be legalized and become a protected trade, just like other work. Only by legalizing it can you get rid of a large chunk of the shady part of it. (never all of it, but legalized sex work is 100% better than Grey zone sex work like it is now in so many places...)

Djeezus... Sports should be above politics. Shitty stuff.

My elderly father would probably catch on fire if he steps into a church. But he shares basically all social values with hardcore Christians.

You can be a non believer, that was raised in a certain belief system and as such share their shitty values. I would imagine this is much more common with older atheists/agnostics/don't-care-about-religion,-only-myselfionists

I cannot handle the lack of a unified control scheme and app logic in iOS. I don't understand how all apple users just ignore that.

In android back is back. In every single app. It always does what you expect. It goes back.

I iOS sometimes it goes back, sometimes it goes up. Sometimes it's on the bottom, sometimes it's on the upper top left (why the actual f would you place it there...), sometimes it's wherever. It depends on the apps it seems?

App settings are sometimes in the apps themselves and sometimes buried twenty menus deep in the phone settings menu. Where is the logic in that?

Those two points alone hold me back from using an iPhone or iPad. (there's others, but I could live with those). It's frustratingly complex to use compared to the relative simplicity of an Android.

Would be interesting to see engagement metrics as well.
