If you already have a PC, no matter how old and shoddy, you will be able to run games on it and become a PC gamer. There was no investment hurdle in 2020, while you need a console to become a console gamer, so you need to buy one first. Most people do have a PC for non gaming uses anyways.

I think the jump is more Covid related than having to do with any of the other consoles.

You joke with the kebab but a catholic priest got charged two days ago with the claim that he smuggled hash into a prison in Germany inside a kebab.
www1.wdr.de/…/katholischer-seelsorger-drogenschmu…
A Catholic prison chaplain allegedly tried to smuggle drug sachets wrapped in kebabs into Heinsberg Prison in 2022.
From August, the Catholic prison chaplain will have to answer to the Geilenkirchen district court. The case concerns over 140 grams of hashish that was hidden in several kebabs by unknown persons in a fast food restaurant. He wanted to bring them to a group lesson with the prisoners. Not the first smuggling operation
The man had already attracted attention twice before because he had tried to smuggle in cell phones and charging cables, for example. The drugs alone - according to the public prosecutor’s office - had a black market price of 2,000 euros. The former Catholic priest is facing a prison sentence of at least one year.
He was “irrevocably released” by the Aachen diocese after the incident.

maybe maker is the wrong word. I mean these cans, where you fill water in the bottom, have a sieve inlay to put the coffee and then it steams through to the can above. Okay i see now in English it is called “Moka pot” and there is a debate about the “wrong name” in my native language.

If you are using an espresso maker the salt should be irrelevant since the water is turned into steam before precipitating as coffee.

Assuming the green-text is true, or even if it is just as a story to bring across the point, the notion is that “do what you want with me” is implied to be some of the “hardcore” things rather than the possibility of anon just wanting sensual intimacy.

So do you believe genes existed before genetic testing? What would you have said to someone suggesting genes exist before there were tests for them?
It is a quite simple question of whether you accept the possibility of things existing, before there is a scientific consensus on their existence. The scientific approach then is simply to say “i dont know” rather than “i dont know therefore it does not exist”. Because of this fallacy i also consider atheists to be people of faith rather than science. They should just not conflate the two and claim their faith to be science.

It was quite funny when the candidate race started and Trump wasn’t rerunning yet and the FBI raided Mar a Lago for the stolen files. The sentiment was usually something along the lines of
“yeah Trump was not perfect and we always said this and we of course always let the authorities do their job, but also they should raid Biden and if Trump is convicted he is not a good president, but there is candidate x,y that is totally amazing.”
Sometimes i wonder how much of it are just shills, how much it is people who suffer form serious cognitive issues and how much it is people who are aware but fine with lying to themselves constantly.

What is your evidence of genetics? Unless you are a biochemist and have run experiments yourself, it will boil down to “somebody told me/I have read it in a book”. So your evidence boils down to a chain of narration. Which narrators you trust or distrust is a subjective matter.
Genetics are a great example though. Modern genetics are often perceived to start with the work of Mendel in the 19th century. Imagine instead of being taught about genetics in school and maybe later in university, you would have lived in the 17th century. Would you have rejected the concept of genes as “fairy tale” because there was no evidence you deemed credible available?
What about atomic models? Would you have considered them to be “fairy tales” prior to the developments of the late 19th and early 20th century? What about how atom models changed? Would you mock Nils Bohr because his atomic model became partly obsolete with the work of Heisenberg? Did you do any of the experiments which lead to the developments of atomic models yourself?
So in practice the only scientific approach is to say: “I have neither evidence that convinces me for or against it, therefore i don’t know”. Saying something is false or does not exist because you don’t see evidence for it, is a matter of faith, rather than a matter of science.

And genetics were used to justify genocide and eugenics. By your logic are genetics absolutely evil?
The constitution of the US is interpreted by some in a way to justify the most horrific crimes against mankind. Is the constitution absolutely evil? Many philosophers works were used by Fascists to justify their empires. Are those philosophers absolutely evil?As for the designation as “fairy tale”. I would expect people that see themselves as scientists or following scientific principles to have their curiosity sparked if a 1400 years old book made statements that link to todays scientific discoveries, rather than immediately making a point of rejecting it in an aggressive way.

That a sexual relationship is permissable as opposed to being prohibited, like adultery or fornication, does not equate to rape. Neither is adultery rape if both parties consent, yet it is prohibited under islamic and other abrahamic religions.
Those are necessary requirements not sufficient requirements. You know, like how a driving licencse is a necesaary requirement for driving, but it does not allow you to drive if your car has no lights and you are under the influence, as these are also necessary requirements.

Quran 17:44
تُسَبِّحُ لَهُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتُ ٱلسَّبْعُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّ ۚ وَإِن مِّن شَىْءٍ إِلَّا يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِهِۦ وَلَـٰكِن لَّا تَفْقَهُونَ تَسْبِيحَهُمْ ۗ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ حَلِيمًا غَفُورًۭا
“The seven heavens, the earth, and all those in them glorify Him. There is not a single thing that does not glorify His praises—but you cannot comprehend their glorification. He is indeed Most Forbearing, All-Forgiving.”

It is not logical to take Christianity as a representation of all other religions.
For a debate about similarities and differences between the Abrahamic religions i can recommend to have a look at this informative and entertaining Panel.
Jews and Muslims also think many Christian concepts to be illogical, especially the concept of Trinity or Jesus as son of God, which we see in contradiction to the oneness of God.

On what basis comes the conclusion that there is no architect behind it?
Do students in elementary school understand why they have all the subjects? Do students in secondary school understand yet, that if they want to pursue higher education as an engineer they need good math and physics? Do students who prefer the humanities yet understand the focus of studies such as sociology vs. anthropology vs. ethnology? Does me as an engineer not understanding why i had to learn how to analyze poems in grade 7-10 invalidate the necessity of that education for someone who later studied linguistics and literature?
Opposing religion is not scientific. Any good scientist understands the limits of his knowledge. Opposing religion is a matter of faith just as embracing religion is a matter of faith.

You multiply vectors and matrizes row by column.
So for any matrix the fitting identity matrix multiplies each row on the relevant position by one and puts it into a column.
The matrix remains the same.
