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.

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.

Ooh I wanna try this. I used to eat a lot of spam, but then I moved and it wasn't available anymore.

The solution is obvious. Install urinals in women's bathrooms, and issue every person without a penis one of these.

Motorcycles have a maximum volume

They already do, at least where I live. The problem is that they sell aftermarket exhausts that bring the volume to an illegal level, and cops don't care.

Right. I was saying that Hexbear isn't a cult on the same level as the named examples, that it's just some people with a different view of global politics than the norm, in response to a commenter who insisted that they were a dangerous cult that should be stamped out.

Any state can, but many don't. And the point here was to explain why I don't believe that blaming famine deaths on Mao Zedong is a justified position to take, when the cycle of famine was ended under his watch.

When I was a kid they taught penmanship too. I was awful at it but then when I was an adult I had a job where I actually had to use those skills and I was glad to have them - same with everything I learned in Home Ec, most the stuff I learned in wood/metal/auto shop, etc. I think all of those classes are extinct now, based on how people talk about school never teaching them anything useful.

We were talking about cults, I brought them up as an example. I could have just as easily used Scientology.
