Things that have been around for a long time are the ones most likely to continue to exist, it's not a fallacy.
They are not, that is expectation of future performance based upon past. Reality is too complex and dynamic for that.

> Trump's enemies
Do you mean political rivals or do you have actual evidence the Democratic party is trying to kill him.
The definition of "enemy" is not limited to "people that are trying to kill you"

yep! i recommend indie wiki buddy for discovering these sorts of community-led wikis.
the extension recognizes when you’re on fandom and recommends equivalent community wikis instead
fandom will not take down old wikis (that’d be bad for SEO), so the fandom content persists even after a full community migration.
just one of the many shitty things that company does.
This? https://getindie.wiki/
Thank you from a long-time hater of Fandom and PE-driven enshittification and lover of community-driven knowledge work
I'm trying to learn acceptance: how not to get so angry at despicable UIs.
Although I admit I'm kinda failing. My minor successes have been by avoiding software: e.g. giving up programming (broken tools and broken targets were a major frustration) and getting rid of Windows.
Having given up programming, what do you do now?
Unreal. Thanks for helping me retrain my mental arithmetic

You look like a straight shooter with upper management written all over you.
I like the cut of your jib. Let’s let the sails loose on this venture and see if we can’t move the needle.
>just put up some initial capital in exchange for even more money back, is always a scam. some people might come out ahead sometimes, but more people will lose than win.
How so? My all-world index funds are doing pretty well. For more risk averse, almost every buyer of USA governmental bonds gets "even more money back" in exchange for the initial capital. I don't think that's a scam either.
Not everyone can buy USA bonds. Is the population of winners and losers all humanity?

Every time I hear a story like this - "management says 'no'" - I wonder if anyone cared/dared to ask follow up questions.
Why was PostgreSQL not an option according to management? I would not take their dismissal at face value. I'd want to know why not. But that might be Dutch culture.
Same, but not necessarily due to nationality. It very much depends on the company culture and interpersonal relationship in question
