The first part of your statement is just false.

I didn't even know eSports had gender segregation at all. Why?

I do agree that they haven't nailed the aesthetic even if they have nailed the practice.

70s cars looked awful. Who looks at one and things "man, that's sexy, I wish my car looked like that"?

So while I do agree, I think highly addictive things do pose a unique risk that ordinary unhealthy things do not. Once someone is an addict, the notion that they are consenting to using cocaine is a lot more grey and questionable. It's not the same as eating a double cheeseburger.

Probably the best "failed" console ever.

How can we infer that? Aren't huge portions of the Milky Way far away enough that any species developing at the same rate we are wouldn't have had any radio transmissions arrive to us yet?

To say nothing of how much bigger the universe may well be above and beyond what we can ever observe?

Yeah you really need to qualify if the question is "do you think its likely life exists outside of Earth somewhere in the cosmos?" vs "do you think little green men with flying saucers abduct hillbillies and anally probe them?"

It's a health nightmare but mine is frito pie.

While true, those parts of the country also had barely any people at the time. Most of that latino population are not descendants of Mexicans that lived there when it was Mexico.

Which one was this? Dashcon?

I guess I do think computers could "think" given the right conditions, but I don't think the stuff we currently call AI is doing thinking. I assume that's a different opinion though?

I wonder what I could say to maximize the potential of producing this output.
