minus-squareNEZ27@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up2·12 days agoYou just said it wasn’t 75%. And quibbling over what constitutes ‘most of’ something’s life is semantics. I reckon plenty of folks would view anything over 50% would likely constitute ‘most of’.

minus-squareNEZ27@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkarrow-up2·11 days agoI know how pedants work. You’re not really making a point, just being obtuse for the sake of it.
