Limb Bizkit is a great band and their music is awesome.
I’m a pretty big Limp Bizkit fan and even I don’t agree with that.

Anything less I consider undercooked.I like my meat cooked well done.
My father-in-law likes to say "walk it through a warm room" with regards to his steak's preparation, and while my rareness preference isn't quite that extreme, I do enjoy a rare steak--the key is knowing that you really do get what you pay for.Rare meat is horrible.
My grandmother made it for a family gathering ages ago, one to which I brought my then girlfriend to meet the family in a casual environment. I told her it was steak tartare and she said, "Hmm, it tastes like beef." Obviously it was, specifically raw beef with accoutrement, and I told her as much, at which point she cracked up and said, "I thought you said snake." Clearly she wasn't scared to try strange things. My grandmother, who witnessed the exchange, later told me to marry that girl...I've eaten steak tartare as often as any other kind of steak. I'm okay with meat being under cooked

Beef isn't fresh when you or the restaurant you go to gets it. Really, unless you go out and kill a cow to eat, you're getting beef that's been aged, and you really don't want it fresh. What you (through your supermarket) or your average restaurant gets is wet-aged beef.
Wet-aging is much more cost-effective than dry-aging because a) it doesn't take nearly as long, b) it doesn't require the real estate and c) it doesn't lose moisture--it's actually aged in the bag while being transported to the final sale point. Because you're not losing moisture, you're not losing most of the metallic taste that the meat has naturally. There's still flavor development, but it's just not as good.
Dry-aging is where you've got a side of beef hanging in a walk-in refrigerator barely above freezing where any boxer can just come in and start punching it (okay, so Rocky was punching a pig, but you get the idea). This takes time, and I mean weeks. It also takes space; not only the basic refrigerated storage, but air needs to be able to move around it.
The nice thing about dry-aging is that the moisture loss means the enzymes still break down the protein strains to make the meat tender, but the good flavor is concentrated and the off flavors leave the meat. It seems counterintuitive, but this drying doesn't mean you get a dryer piece of meat in the end, either, because the cooked cut's moisture depends more on the fat (that didn't dry during aging) and the temperature to which it's cooked.
Edit: Completely forgot to note that cooking meat for longer periods of time subdues the off flavors of the wet-aged beef, so a higher internal temp (and resulting doneness) is preferable when that's what you're eating.
That's fine, and I hope that didn't come off as me saying you should. My comments were intended to shed light on why that might be the case, rather than why you're not supposed to. Actually, I suspect a significant number of people feel obligated to go rare or medium rare--either due to societal pressure or because they "can," unlike with pork or chicken--even when the steak they're getting should probably be cooked more thoroughly for it to taste the best it can. If I really want a steak regardless of quality, and know it's going to be wet-aged, I'm going to get it cooked to 160 so that those off flavors are minimal. Also know that it's not uncommon for fine dining establishments that generally offer dry-aged beef to have wet-aged cuts for well-done orders.I still don't like undercooked meat.
Rare meat is horrible.
I still don't like undercooked meat.

Everyone's Chewbacca impression is horrible.
Everyone's Arnold Schwarzenegger impression is horrible.
Everyone's. Why the lay public think two of the most distinct yet difficult sounds make for "fun" impressions is beyond me. They're two of the most horrible things you'll ever hear.
Arnie on the other hand... no reason not to be able to do it well with a little practice.
Read that as Ahnold.It's always terrible.
Should have put a man and woman on the cover to shut the whiners up. No doubt they would still have complained though.
Fans were shocked because B) unfounded gender equality was shoved down the viewers' throats and
Devs promised realism and we got steam punk.
I understand they're trying to show off the customization; that's been the main talked about point. However when you use words like authentic, realism, immersion, etc. you're setting quite the tone for your game. So don't be surprised when you throw a curve ball like that hideous trailer that you're going to get backlash.
If people like it, they'll use it. If they don't, they either won't use it, or they won't buy the game.
I'm sorry fake, 3D renderings of nonexistent people make others so unhappy.
EDIT: Sorry if I came over as a bit abrasive, but it just seems funny to me that people are taking this molehill of an "issue" and turning it into a mountain.
Or, for that matter, over gamers objecting to the appearance of female characters in the game. There are far more overt, malignant instances of sexism against which to establish a resistance.Come on, if people are frothing at the mouth over the female characters in this game then they seriously need to re-evaluate their lives.
I've always been a big fan of dark chocolate. After dropping a huge amount of carbs from my diet, I like it that much more.Unpopular opinion: extra dark chocolate is the best tasting chocolate. I just love the rich, strong cocoa flavor of it. Regular dark chocolate and milk chocolate is too sweet, and white chocolate shouldn't even be called chocolate to start with.
Most people I know think extra dark chocolate is too bitter, but I like it.
Texture, taste or both?
I was never a fan of steak tartare or anything with raw meat on it, but I was enlightened by the sublime pleasure of a carpaccio salad in my young adulthood and fell in love with raw, rare and medium rare meat ever since. I understand people being put off by the taste, each palate is very unique.
I got two today.
First off. The Chevy Cruise hatchback... this is my own personal unpopular opinion (look a little further back, and you will see my "love" for GM). I love the look of that damn car. Someone where I live took the time to do some rather tasteful mods and that damn turbo 4 sounded surprisingly good. SMH... hell must have froze over....
I agree, I’d much rather just get the fresh veggies and put in the little bit of extra effort. It definitely is a big difference, in my opinion.Not sure how unpopular this really is, but I love plain broccoli either raw or steamed. As long as it's fresh that is, frozen vegetables of any variety besides corn pretty much suck
though for corn, I’d still prefer to just get the canned version before the frozen.
I love corn in general, so I wouldn’t really complain anyways. I usually just eat it by the spoonful straight from the can lol.I do as well on the rare occasion I buy corn, but a few people I know always get the frozen stuff and it's decent enough.
Cannot, will not do canned corn--it's a definite no-go for me. If I really need corn and don't have fresh readily available, I will do frozen, but I'm too often disappointed by dessicated kernels. Birds Eye seems to be frozen sooner after processing than, say, Sno Pac, meaning it's sweeter, but also seems to be dessicated more than the latter.Although for corn, I’d still prefer to just get the canned version before the frozen.
