I was a tiny bit on board with your point, except for the part where you argue against self-determination and self-actualization. Moreover, I followed this thread, and you're not only arguing in bad faith, you are moving the goalposts. Be better.

😆 It's only 0600 here. I'm gonna call it a day after reading that so that I can end on a high note.
Okay, I talk a lot of shit about how Piranha built MW, but reading that saga... Imma have to tone down the rhetoric. They clearly love the franchise and jumped through hoops of fire to build MW5.
Also, I've been playing MechWarrior for 35 years. I'm going to step outside and go touch some trees or something. 😆
There's a technical phrase for that: stochastic terrorism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stochastic_terrorism
How do I subscribe to acoustic propagation facts?
Agreed. I could have stated that more clearly. I mean specific reviewers with whose opinion I align. For example, maybe a bunch of people think a certain sandwich shop is garbage. But I think their sandwiches are my platonic ideal. I happened to notice that SandwichLover666 also thinks these sandwiches are perfect. I would like to see an adjusted review scores based on a preference for SL666's places.
I make hot, savory protein shakes all the time. I found that the trick is to mix the whey into enough cold liquid, about one scoop whey to at ~120ml/4 ounces cold water or stock. Once blended, then add it to your hot ingredients. The result is a much smoother shake/soup.
But are they concerned with making money? 😁
When I still had kitties (and a house), I bought a litter box with a lid. I then fashioned a vent hose with a 120mm 12V PCM fan running at low RPM. The hose went through the ceiling in a closet and exhausted out an attic vent. Zero cat box smell and no noise. While my exact implementation isn't available to everyone (like in apartments), the basics can be adapted to almost any situation.
I fully agree with all of your points, which is why I limited my comment to the "best snipers in the world couldn't do this" part. More agreement with adrenaline is a huge factor. Just ask any hunter what their first takedown was like. Even sighting in 800m paper target shots still gets me a little hit of adrenaline. :D
Okay, wait... I'll take a little bit of issue with one little point about controlled conditions. I grew up on a farm and was surrounded by farmers and ranchers. We're used to shooting in less-than-perfect conditions: standing; just grabbed the rifle off the rack; exhausted from a rough day of baling or herding; blah blah blah taco (totally a technical term). Still nowhere near career snipers, though.
The best snipers in the world couldn't stage something like this, a gust of wind could have decided his fate.
I call bullshit on this particular statement. I am not a sniper, but I AM a pretty shit-hot target shooter. I can always put three rounds through the same hole at 100 meters, sometimes five rounds, regardless of weather. The final hole diameter equate to 0.4 minute of accuracy.
I have acquaintances and a close friend who were okayish snipers in the Army and Marines. Their personal rifles are all 0.25 minute of accuracy. And we're just talking about the hardware here. The shots that trained snipers can perform are astounding.
Probably most famously, the three Navy snipers in the Maersk Alabama hostage hijacking managed three headshots from one ship to a boat, both bobbing on the water.
To signal boost @Lifecoach5000 love of the smashburger: J. Kenji Lopez-Alt goes into great culinary depth about burgers, including the Oklahoma smashie. This is the version I make for friends and loved ones: https://www.seriouseats.com/oklahoma-onion-burger-recipe
If you can source beef from grass-fed pastured steer (in contrast to CAFO beef), it makes such a huge difference. For example, we get beef from a small scale local rancher family that does all their own butchery. Anything more than salt and pepper on their beef starts to detract from the subtle complexities in the meat, complexities missing from grain-fed beef.
