chicken is the lettuce of the meat world

i dunno if this is controversial or not but chicken is a bad pizza topping

It's definitely true. Maybe it's controversial based on how many NJ/NY pizzerias have some kind of dried out chicken pizza available at any given time, including (barf) bbq or buffalo chicken pizza. I imagine there has to be some kind of demand for it.

I think it's the California Pizza Kitchen chain that popularized barbecue chicken pizza (barbecue sauce, cilantro, onion, gouda).
Prior to that I think I only saw chicken pizza on trying-too-hard-to-be-healthy white pizzas with broccoli or whatevs. An unwelcome gift from the West Coast.

Most of NY Pizza is in a pretty sorry state today tbh. The Ray's type places have really promulgated the concept of pizza as stale garbage pile.
― the last famous person you were surprised to discover was actually (man alive), Sunday, 27 August 2017 01:20 (eight years ago)
There is sort of a new wave of good places but they are pricey, and there are only a few really good slice places left scattered around, probably more in the boroughs than manhattan.

i know this is not the kind of pizz you're talking about but each time i go to nyc my friend brings me to saraggina in bed stuy and it's really good
― flopson, Sunday, 27 August 2017 02:14 (eight years ago)
Yeah I mean I like that kind of sit-down wood-fired pizza a lot too, I just wish good slice places were easier to find. I'm partial to Joe's but never make it there. In my neck of Queens we do have a couple decent ones though, nothing I'd hop on a subway for but good for local.

known multiple people who have been illegally evicted so their landlord can airbnb so I'm def not down with calling it good
― -_- (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 27 September 2017 17:33 (eight years ago)
landlord down the street evicted some acquaintances (a family with two young kids!) from a duplex so he could tear it down and build a multiuse building, possibly for AirBNB purposes. he'd been illegally airbnb-ing out the other half of the duplex before he tore it down.
― nomar, Wednesday, 27 September 2017 17:39 (eight years ago)
it's a good thing if you're a landlord trying to make as much short-term cash as possible. sucks shit for p much everybody else.

y'all know some of the people who AirBnb are just regular homeowners right

xxpost also, when you are going to an event and want a crash pad near the venue and don't want to pay $100+ for one night or pay $60 for a shithole, AirBnb is dope. I stayed in some nice old fashioned homes for like $25 a night in GA and NC
― Neanderthal, Wednesday, 27 September 2017 18:13 (eight years ago)
like the illegal eviction scenario above, like, not sure I trust that a landlord who would resort to illegal evictions wouldn't find some other way to dick his tenants over illegally if AirBnb didn't exist.
― Neanderthal, Wednesday, 27 September 2017 18:15 (eight years ago)
my landlord illegally murdered me with a gun purchased using airbnb profits. man, fuck airbnb.

all i'm saying is that airbnb people are evil and should be stopped. word on the street is there was an ilxor murdered by a gun bought with airbnb money, which should give pause to anyone.

i have a neighbour who does gig economy jobs and cat sits while airbnbing her apartment to make ends meet. I've stayed in airbnbs a couple of times. it's not the devil, it's not only used evilly. but it's absolutely contributing to the housing crisis which is making cities hard places to live for anyone that isn't rich.
― -_- (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 27 September 2017 18:43 (eight years ago)
especially because you can make soooooo much more money airbnbing than renting a place to a tenant monthly.

certain thing's goodness = (first order term that is large and good) + (second order term that is bad and not insignificant) + (many other higher order terms to consider)
or
certain thing's badness = (first order term that is large and not bad) + (second order term that is good and not insignificant) + (many other higher order terms to consider)
other permutations
controversial opinion: We will pick one of the above and fixate on that second order term to justify our opinion on certain thing's goodness or badness according to our own limited experience. We will feel satisfied that we've thought deeply about the subject because we've got that one higher order talking point to display to ourselves and others.
