Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers (lemmy.ml)

I guess repeating continuing to make analogies in what appears to be a serious tone seems like an odd way to make the argument that the original analogy is broken. You're not pointing out any flaws, using the current analogy to show how it doesn't work... just changing the setting while keeping the overall analogy completely the same.

It's like going to a brothel and continuing to have sex with prostitutes then saying the brothel is broken... sorry, I had to.

Are you saying my dick is broken and not the brothel? Ruh Roh.
