Dr Pepper (and other sodas - not counting "energy drinks" that can be genuinely loaded with caffeine) have miniscule amounts of caffeine. A gallon a day isn't going to give you caffeine addiction.
I'm a Finn and I can attest that caffeine withdrawal symptoms are real. Going cold turkey from 2 liters or more of drip coffee per day gives me a fairly severe headache - but I suspect few coffee drinkers actually drink that much most of the time.
Cholesterol is a specific kind of sterol molecule - there's no good and bad cholesterol. And eggs do contain a lot. The catch is that dietary cholesterol intake has next to no impact on blood cholesterol in the long run because extra cholesterol is excreted in bile, and because dietary cholesterol intake downregulates cholesterol synthesis.
Eggs are also high in fat soluble vitamins, are an excellent source of protein, and taste delicious. Eggs are definitely good food.
Demanding that every single person repeat millenia worth of scientific experiments by the entire human race to form educated opinions on coffee table discussion matters is absolutely ridiculous. You have to believe some things based on only what you read to get to the topics you're supposed to form any opinions about.
Which of course is the problem - the things you CAN read become ever more unreliable as issues become political.
GPUs for general computation are a thing of the future, not a thing of the present. I bought a discrete graphics card recently for DVI output, 3D performance was not even a consideration. h.264 acceleration, silence, price and linux/windows/OS X compatibility were. Only gamers give a fuck, every other use for GPUs is (at present) extremely niche.
$100 is obscene for a kitchen knife. A good kitchen knife is much cheaper than a pocket knife that is built well enough to be worth using. Your analogy fails.
The last audio CD I bought (almost a decade ago) got scratched inside a player within a week of buying it. Never had problems with console games on CDs though.
Yeah obviously you have to be extra stupid to make not only the highest grossing film of all time but the second highest grossing one as well. Aiming for commercial failure and succeeding is the only reliable sign of intellect.
If you're saying that the way they're shot doesn't matter you might as well argue that sending cameras to Mars is silly in the first place. Perhaps it is, but not even setting the cameras up properly would be the height of stupidity.
People who use pet names and such as passwords are making a rational (although admittedly sometimes ill-informed) choice based on how large they perceive the risks of somebody hacking their account and them forgetting the more secure yet more difficult to remember password.
Usually the latter is several orders of magnitude more likely - particularly for people whose memories aren't accustomed to remembering long strings of random ASCII.
Even the first nokia phones came with the snake game though.
Not even close! Snake was introduced in 1999. First Nokia GSM phones were made in 1991, but the first Nokia hand held cell phones were made in the 80s. Of course their history of making portable phones goes back much further yet.
I can't imagine anybody not being able to tell the difference between 96dpi and 200. I'm using 1920x1200 now (in addition to a much smaller 13" laptop screen) and the resolution, even with subpixel rendering, is low enough to hinder reading (depending on the font you might not be able to tell the difference between com and corn for example - without subpixel rendering I literally can't read my terminal). Reading articles in PDF forces me to zoom in quite often because there simply aren't enough pixels to make all text legible at all, even though the absolute size is comparable to print-outs.
TVs only get away with 1920x1080 because video is constantly in motion and because people were used to such ridiculously bad quality for decades.
Same here - then again I think watching a DVD or playing a game would have a similar effect.
There's always windows, the image quality is far superior and looking at the view doesn't cause motion sickness. MP3 players are fine also.
But everybody is a hypocrite so you'd get condemned for it all the same. On a subject like this you'd get condemned for not condemning it! Most people would at least make a token effort to condemn it publicly just for show, even if they fapped to the same schoolgirls getting tentacled themselves.
This is incorrect. EVERYBODY uses youtube, word of mouth alone would be enough to inform everybody except the most socially isolated - and while I don't have experience with German media, at least here it would definitely be covered on the news.

Are you suggesting that pedos don't know how to spell the word?

A more plausible explanation is that you never actually got addicted to caffeine. I don't see how hangovers are in any way relevant.

This is getting off topic, but...

Neanderthals were the ones with bigger brains than ours that went extinct.
Australia is an anomaly.
I was under the impression that there were people in the US with no house, too.

It appears that sexual selection has been making us ever more hairless. Evolution is never finished.

I for one don't have a problem with this. Why should all games be in the "hardcore gamer" niche?
Yeah obviously you have to be extra stupid to make not only the highest grossing film of all time but the second highest grossing one as well. Aiming for commercial failure and succeeding is the only reliable sign of intellect.

Maybe some of the bullets missed.

Much like he's getting laughed out of the room for claiming that video games are not art?

Congratulations on entirely missing his point.
