It's too bad i can't mod things "ironic"

I think a lot of people know who she is from The Guild.

Or a really bad movie.

Or did Microsoft choose terrible colors for Win8 metro? They all just look so terrible to me, especially the background colors.

People thinking they can affect the government.

In all seriousness though, as good as an idea as something like this is, I don't really see it getting too much done.

Yup. I have a high metabolism, so I usually have to worry more about net calorie intake more than how healthy said calories are. And per-calorie fast food is cheapest.

60 cents? wow. best I can do around here is 99, though it still satisfies your point, even taking into account that I need about 3 to get anywhere near enough food.

I agree with most of your points, but I will say that if things are tight enough, buying much more than a week's food at a time just isn't possible. The money isn't there.

I think this discussion is more about getting KIDS decent meals, and also it's really all quite circumstantial. You imply that you have a car, so that makes it easier. Getting home by 6-6:30 isn't all that late, so that makes it easier. You must not have a job that leaves you too drained to cook, so that makes it easier.

This. So much this. And if you're poor enough, even executing that can be difficult. The cheapest fast food can offer seems to consistently be cheaper than most any meal I know how to cook.

I have a touchpad running android with an xbmc control app hooking into it, works great for watching any files I have on hand, way less awkward than the keyboard/mouse I have hooked to it. Only real annoyances are it's a bit of a pain for youtube/etc/

Well, granted.

I do think that most decent tvs do some scaling more interesting than nearest neighbor, though for the most part that seems to be the burden of the output device, hence upscaling dvd players and the like.

In any event, I know the difference and was hence expressing disagreement with the AC :)

Relative. SD looks terrible on a half-decent tv these days, because HD looks so much better.

Don't we have enough goddamn babies, though?

While sexual activity, crossdressing, etc, is a choice, that doesn't mean that the feelings that lead up to them are. Which, i think is the point that people are trying to make.
