Guilty! Beans is part of my soul!
Pinball themes have a huge diversity issue as many tables that feature humans mainly lean toward white men

Looking at my games right now I have a black knight that could be of any race, some hobbits, dwarves and dragons. Some monsters, super heroes (some green, some women, one called Black Panther), a guy with a helmet who in reality is currently Latino, and a small alien creature. Not really seeing the whole ‘human’ ‘white’ ‘men’ theme you’re referencing.

Ironically - the one with the helmet guy and small alien creature would also feature a woman if it weren’t for people that think along these same lines.

Greef Karga- Mando
Quoted from FlippyD:I don't know about you but dropping down to one knee for any prolonged period of time, or sweeping a broom for that matter, both seem pretty physical to me.
I'll let my maid know she is a great athlete and excels at her sport

This belongs in the "Popular opinion thread" since bashing white men is very popular now a days.
Quoted from dirkdiggler:Chili without beans is just soup
A pot of chili with exactly 239 beans in it is better than a pot with 240 beans.

shooting = pressing a switch to hit a target
pinball = pressing a switch to hit a target
Athletes Q.E.D. etc - gotta get this back on track
Baseball would be more interesting if they threw the ball at the runner between bases, if hit the runner is then out.
Athletes in the sport of pinball are featured in TRADING CARDS. Pinball Cards are JUST LIKE Baseball Cards.
We are working on being included in the 2024 Olympics - the only Olympic Sport to allow alcohol, tobacco, weed, greasy food and poor personal hygiene while competing. PinGulp (official Sponsor of the 2024 Olympics) will be proudly displayed. Mods are a controversy - will Cliffy's be allowed?

ok, who is actually buying pinball trading cards except for their kids?
society has jumped the shark

Yeah, a lot of respect for Walter Day, and I appreciate his part in video game history, but pinball trading cards... those poor trees that sacrificed their lives... for THAT.... I'm just sad.

I'd venture to say that's 90% of their pinball buying/playing customer base.....do you feel Victoria's Secret doesn't feature enough men?

What would you say is inherently male about the hobby of pinball?
Also, I bet you’re the type of guy who’s clueless enough to believe Victoria Secret’s target audience isn’t mostly straight men

Damn, that’s almost 0.2% of all pinball tables 
no representation issues here folks…

About equal to who’s buying the machines.

lol...i'd say since it's mostly been played by males (of any color) since it was invented makes it inherently male.....
As for the VS thing, maybe you misunderstood his original comment and my reply - his concern was that games that FEATURE people mainly feature white men (because that's mostly who plays/buys them. Stern isn't going to make a game w Chinese guys shooting pool though I'm sure a couple Chinese guys own pins.) Likewise, I'm sure there are plenty of men who like to wear Victoria's Secret items, yet they don't show men wearing their products in their ads.
Women like guys with ripped abs and biceps, so is Planet Fitness' target audience women? Or the men who buy memberships and go there?
Quoted from bob_e:i an ging to BUY a CYBERTRUCK and SAVE the EARTH GO GREEN
LMAO
I will wait another year or two for Tesla to Produce the Cybertruck and save the earth...GROW GREEN ER GO GREEN
Most Texans believe that beans in chili ruins it, but I have found the further north you go in the U.S...the more it tends to be accepted.

Yep, but the time you get to MN/WI, it’s more beans than chili.
I'm not sure how "unpopular" this opinion is...but Stranger things isn't very good to me. The theme is good, but the gameplay is really lacking. I have no clue why someone would pay what they are going for these days

Not a fan either. Hopefully they build the code up.

Played a Pro and didn’t care for it. Bashing the monster was cool, but the only fun memory of it.

I'm up north and I agree...beans don't really belong in chili.
I always thought that it was my own weird personal preference. Glad to hear I'm not alone.
I have no problem with scalpers. In the USA, capitalism and supply and demand are tenets of our economic system.
I bought an Xbox Series X from a Craigslist scalper in December 2020 for $700 with absolutely no regrets, then or now.

I pay a buck a game! 
I used to completely ignore homeless people with signs by freeway off-ramps. But the veterans kinda got to me.
I do not give out money though. I have noticed that about 95% of all homeless with signs are smokers, so I always offer them a couple cigarettes Marlboro NXT, which is like Camel Crush).
I’ve been doing this for about 10 years now. In That time, my smokes have only been declined twice.
I detest marijuana, but have no problem with cigarettes. That’s about it.
Quoted from unclerudy:Most University of Michigan fans are Walmart Wolverines, and have no direct connection to the school
Oh yes they do, they have jobs at local fast food places of coffee shops to serve the student population.
Quoted from StoneyCreek:Ketchup is just red sugar, the worst condiment of all.
What about BBQ sauce? Isn't that just sugar with spices?
Quoted from Dee-Bow:I detest cigarettes but have no problem with marijuana
I quit smoking about 30 years ago,and I still love the smell of them. My mouth is watering right now at the thought of smoking a cigarette. 
Quoted from ralphs007:I quit smoking about 30 years ago,and I still love the smell of them.
I quit one time for about 6 months, and I could smell a cigarette a mile away and I loved the smell. I loved the smell since I was very young before I ever smoked one.
Quoted from Dee-Bow:I detest cigarettes but have no problem with marijuana
I used to love to smell that smoke, but all I have smelled in a while did not smell good at all. (I think they are smoking some cheap stuff or something).
Quoted from ForceFlow:What about BBQ sauce? Isn't that just sugar with spices?
I use Sonny's sweet BBQ sauce about 3 times a week.
As far as opinion, brown gravy tastes better than white gravy.
I hate the smell of tobacco. Even worse is going into a smokers house and coming out smelling like a ashtray.
When the wife and I smoked we always smoked outside

I also hate the ashtray smell on clothes. I go outside some, and indoors I only smoke in 2 places, both are next to large air cleaners to prevent that.
