      Outside of the US, it's often a respectable or at least acceptable option

      That doesn't change what it is, regardless of who "respects" it.

        Sure, but it's only the lack of respect in the US that makes it feel like what it "is" is something bad.

          In the same way it's respectable in some countries to blow yourself up to kill others who don't believe the same crap as you do.

            Not really comparable. It's just a personal lifestyle and career choice. Doesn't hurt other people, doesn't inject opinion. It's just a job.

                        Shouldn't all this prostitute talk be split off into its own thread?

                              Why is the third world often running outdated, insecure, and often unstable Windows

                              because Steam didn't play Windows games on Linux... which just changed today.

                              I expect all third world to now move to Linux.

                                Third world doesn't do a lot of PC gaming. But what changed today? Is there some massive news I didn't see yet?
