Honestly, if heroin is so bad, why so many addicts?
- adontz 8y agoWho said there are many addicts?
- StreamBright 8y agoI am just pointing out the fallacy in this argument.
- adontz 8y agoIt's not an argument, it's a question. I'll rephrase to make it clear, sorry if it was not that clear. "If systemd is worse than other options, why is it so widely adopted?" And by widely I mean most popular distributions adopted it, so more than a half of installations use it. More like 3/4 or so. IDK how heroin addicts answer this question. You kind of ask me "If heroine is worse than other options, why is it so widely adopted?". My answer is - heroine is not widely adopted in the first place.
- loeg 8y agoThe US media has been shouting about an opioid crisis for years now. The stories imply or outright claim that there are "many" opioid addicts for some definition of "many" that exceeds the number there "should" be. I think that shouting is out of proportion to the number of real addicts, and I'm not claiming to speak for the person you are replying to. But it's not outlandish for someone to mistakenly believe there are lots of heroin addicts.
- comex 8y agoBecause it acts directly on your brain to produce intense pleasure and make you crave it, at the expense of making rational decisions? As opposed to systemd, which… doesn’t.
