By the time you factor in all of the insanities of living in a city, there's a lot of things that are a lot silly about it.
Seriously. You pay people to do your damn laundry, and brag about it? And I bet there's a social aspect to it also--those people are considered to be lesser than your type, in your eyes, right? I'm guessing I shouldn't bother asking if you can change oil or unclog a toilet?
[EDIT: Let me just take this opportunity to shout out a warm, heartfelt "FUCK YOU" to whatever faggot Nazi mod who of course will see this post and get his panties in a twist about it, because he is a pathetic beta loser living in a toxic commie shithole, taking it up the ass daily from his communist boyfriend. All of you and your fellow faggot mods can eat a dick, or a bullet; I don't care which.]
Why do you choose to live in a such a shithole? Serious question. Move to the country where you can breathe something other than toxic fumes and the smell of piss stained streets. Come join us here in rural Alabama, where you can luxuriate in the ownership of a washing machine and other modern technological wonders, like air conditioning, color TV, and fiber to the premises, while hobnobbing and rubbing elbows with the insanely rich high rollers of this wealthy society who have long enjoyed all of these luxuries and more.
Here's how "smart" Vegas is: 90% of the billboards you see driving through the shithole are for ambulance chasing sleazebags and malt liquor stores. Pass.

If I made a comment that they are all dishonest shitbags who cannot be trusted, somehow I get the feeling that you will have some kind of objection to that sentiment as well, 'Rafiki.'

In other words: "The current state of things is Microsoft users are getting the shaft, and ya know guys, it's not so bad if you only lube up your asshole first."
> 'What I am trying to say is that this incident isn't evidence of anything except that Microsoft is like every other company that will use any advantage it has to push its product. Google and Apple do it too.'
Right: immoral, evil, controlled by dishonest psychopaths. Exactly the point.
If everyone else was jumping off a bridge, would you jump too?
> 'Let's put our energy in things that pressure companies to behave properly like lobbying governments to step up their anti-trust and privacy enforcement.'
Except Microsoft is owned by the very same people who own the U.S. Government. Same folks who own Google. Same folks who own Facebook. Same folks who probably own you.
