But in this topic's context, you have the exact same game, graphics, and performance as a console. So why take the extra step(s) to hook up a computer?

Convenience. Plus it is not an "extra" step, it is literally the same step you would need to do to hook up your console.

Secondly, not everyone has a computer right next to a TV. Some people's PCs might be on the top floor of the house, and the media room is in the basement.

Why though? Put all your media in one room, makes things simpler.

Downloading separate programs to control PC with Xbox controller = extra steps.

No different then downloading a program on consoles to use a keyboard and mouse, so no. Same steps.

No, my first time was a one night stand when I was 22. It gave me enough experience so I wasn't a complete idiot when I had it with someone I actually wanted to impress.

Console because I like sitting back on the couch to play it. Yes I know you can hook your PC up to a TV but it's a pain in the ass.

No different then a console. Pretty much every PC nowadays has HDMI out, so all you need is an HDMI cable and you are good to go. The only real hangup is using a wireless keyboard and mouse, but even that is pretty easy.

Even if you don't want to use keyboard and mouse, there is this:

No, but I don't like any wrestler, rapper or pop musician that moves into movies and gets roles that should be left to professionals/upcoming actors that have put in the work.

So in other words the professional actor should let the professional actors do it instead?

The summer sales have been getting worse and worse every year. I'll see if there is anything this year I want to bother with, but I doubt it. I already have enough games planned in my backlog that anything I do buy probably won't even get tried until December (which I could just wait for the Winter sale then).

They don't have less rights. Marriage is an institution, not a right.

I honestly think that marriage is one of the biggest scams that the government runs. I mean if we are truly having separation of church and state, then the government should have nothing to do with marriage. Marriage licenses should be illegal and everyone who issues them should be sent to prison.

Marriage predates civilization so no it's not a government scam. Plus it protects both spouses in case one dies.

The fact that it predates civilization is EXACTLY why it is a government scam. Why do I need a license for a natural right?

It is insane.

I was just thinking about Taco Bell for dinner tonight, LOL!

I usually get a gordita supreme and 2 soft tacos. Little bit high on the calorie count for a dinner (~700 cal), but I try to make up for it by only having 100 calorie snacks during the day instead of 200 calorie snacks. It evens out in the end.

If it's like any other incompetent organization, there's "mission critical" something or other that's only accessible through IE6 on Windows XP. Then again, it's the federal government, so that "mission critical" whatever is probably written in COBOL on a system from the late 50s.

I remember seeing a report that our nuclear codes are stored on computers from the 60's, which surprisingly makes them super secure since you can't actually access them without a telnet enabled computer.

Coin collecting. Have some old ones like a 1913 penny, a 19th century nickel (all that's left on it though is part of the V on the back and the front is completely gone), a 1945 silver nickel, 1943 steel penny among others.

I used to do coin collecting a long time ago too. I have a few buffalo head nickels, and a 1909 VDB penny.

I had to stop though because my collection was based solely on looking through my loose change, and you just cannot find anything "old" nowadays unless you buy them from other collectors.

You need a reality check about life satisfaction in other countries. You talked a lot about the third world and conveniently glossed over other thriving industrial nations.

Agreed. There undeniably better places to live. The USA barely even cracks the top 10 in terms of GDP per capita, and consistently gets blown away by the Nordic countries in terms of happiness and well-being.

It's kind of a weird pairing in general. The two companies have largely different models and, if they did automate, it kinda goes against what Whole Foods stands for since they supposedly start their employees at a rate over the minimum wage.

In general, I always considered Whole Foods to be a massive scam, so I'm not too invested in their future.

I live in Wegmans country so Whole Foods hardly ever gets mentioned here. They are putting a store in on the east side of the city (basically our "high end" district), but a lot of people are protesting it. Once it goes in I am tempted to look around, but even if they are somehow better then Wegmans (which I doubt), I wouldn't consider shopping there because they tend to push out smaller farms in favor of green houses and trucking in product from other areas. Wegmans always gets produce from local farms first, and only gets produce from outside the area when it is stuff that can't be grown locally.

Also look at female vs male MMA fighters. None of the women have bulging muscles. They look lean and fit with some definition... Like Gadot. The male MMA fighters look big and bulky relatively speaking.

Depends on the weight class. If you are basing it on someone like Rhonda then yea she is going to look lean because she is a Bantamweight. Relatively speaking, that tends to be on the thinner side of MMA. This is the current male Bantamweight champion:

Conversely, the woman on the right in this picture is a female Heavyweight (probably what you are thinking with male MMA fighters, since it is the most popular weight class):

The most recent anime I've enjoyed is Death Note. One Punch Man is okay, but all of my favourites are generally from the '90s.

My main problem is that I really only got into anime once I was already in my late teens/early adulthood (apart from stuff like Voltron and G-Force), which meant I mostly bypassed the Shonen genre entirely. And I started to lose interest in anime entirely a few years after college, which meant that by the time some of the newer shows came out, or things like Crunchyroll existed, I was already completely out of the loop and not caring.

Kind of like me, although I admit my reason for getting into it was mostly to have common interests with the girl I was trying to get into the pants of at the time. Even then, she was into Shojo and I was into more of the stuff inspired by Bande Dessinée. Once I stopped caring about that girl, my interest in Anime went away with it (although I still like some Bande Dessinée from time to time, just not Japanese Anime specifically).
