It's amazing how giving every family some no strings attached cash and making every school give out free food effected the child poverty rate, almost like we could lower it and keep it low but our leadership chooses not to.

It also had the "other OS" feature! It's strange that the PS3 remains the only big console to have that feature, given how difficult its architecture is to work with. The modern consoles are all much closer to just being prebuilt PCs and none of them have it.

You're correct. I think the real obstacle PC gaming has to overcome for the average consumer is the basic knowledge requirement - I built the PC I currently use and game on and yet I find the numbering schemes for processors and graphics cards insanely confusing, have no idea what goes together and what doesn't, what's a good deal and what's overpriced, etc. But while I was willing to put in the research when I built my current computer, I can totally understand someone else who wants something that they can just turn on and it works.

Prebuilts don't really solve this problem either. The average consumer will see something like the "MSI Glaive-Guisarm 2077 Fortnite Edition" and I have no idea if that's better than or worse than or about the same as a PS5.

I think I wrapped my books exactly one year, and after that never bothered. Never did it in duraseal though, I used brown paper bags and scotch tape.

Saw similarly strange pizzas when I lived in Japan. I think in Asia generally they just have a different idea of what to do with pizza.

The hat looks like it's resting on top of his head, not actually pulled down around his head.

If I ever get back into 40K I am 100% buying a 3D printer and making my own minis / sprues.

There's some real doublethink going on in the heads of some American libs where they can recognize that the post-9/11 jingoism was really bad but also they are capable to going straight back to that emotional place at the drop of a hat.

I've heard of it. IIRC it didn't matter what a person's beliefs about racism were, they had the reaction anyway, it was just that deeply ingrained by society's latent white supremacy.

I think the instant downvotes specifically are a result of botting. Power accounts pump their own posts in part by depressing everyone else's.
