Is it worse than going to a restaurant, shopping, or gym? I guess theres a bunch of people sitting without masks even if tables are distanced.

So you wanna be a terrible person, like the terrible people you see? You recognize a problem, see it and want to contribute to it...for atmosphere?
Healthy people are gonna start dying before we stop being so dang selfish and worrying about...boredom. Children get bored, adults should have patience.
Do we really have historical records of old pandemics and we still don't learn? Are we that cocky?

Go read a book people...or, and this may be crazy being a gaming site, go play a game.
There's a virus spreading. Grow up and stop trying to fit in.

Name one genre worse than fighting.

Fmv games, they're basically dead. I mean from late 16 bit and early 32 bit days, not like shenmue where it is adventure.

Fighting can be very niche, but there is much diversity. You have wrestlers and brawlers like smash and WWF, then you have combo input like mortal kombat and street fighter, and then the more traditional like virtua fighter.

I love me some Sega, so I'll pop in a fighter every now and again, especially virtua fighter and its clones. Lately I play a lot of old school smackdown cause the story mode just keeps me going.
Last Bronx is a really cool looking and fun fighter. I'll pop that in for a few rounds of survival mode if I wanna beat someone with a skateboard, hammer or other weapons.

You sound like such a generous person...

Anyways, fixed tipping amounts is usually the easiest. Most tips are $5-$15 for me, depending on everything basically.

I mean, I also consider if they're paid a wage that is intended for tipping or not. If it's just a tip jar or something, then it's buck or two.

I could get into it, but it really is not great at all. The cool parts are basically working off what was already established; basically they were given gold, so it had a long way to fall. The fact it's short kind of helps

Honestly, surround sound isn't as much as an issue as that no one knows how to use the equalizer properly to achieve that quality sound in such a small cramped space.
I beg to differ. My dad sets up microphones and everything to adjust to his seating. I hope to do similar things in a few years as my place gets bigger

The world is over populated basically. I think we can stop deciding which animals are "below" humans and just start using humans.

Almost all! I really enjoy cheese. I'm not the biggest fan of a cheese being sweet unless it is hard; I have my apples and cheese seperate.

I generally go for the semi hard cheeses like gouda, muenster, havarti and butterkase.

I guess if I had to really choose...butterkase. my spelling probably isn't right but I highly suggest it! It translates literally to butter cheese and that describes it well.

It's never really interested me. $300 is like two weeks' groceries; paying that much for a single meal (whatever the quality) just seems ridiculous.

Agreed. I've had fancy meals, but nothing that went over $200.
My girlfriend and I decided to go all out at a seafood restaurant and that was probably our most expensive meal. She wanted to try lobster and I was open to go nuts.
Otherwise, our dinners are usually around $60 if we go out but we cook mostly for ourselves.

I digress though. We'll see the effects soon and can go from there. I'm sure NPR and PBS will cover it well.

I dislike buying new electronics, not because I have to learn anything new, but because things only seem to be getting more powerful but not necessarily better.
