jfc next someone will be saying Hot Pockets are the one true pizza

J/k, it's mediocre crap that my parents like but there is no One True Pizza according to my postmodern neo-Marxist culinary perspective.xp

I went to a Boston pizza recently and they had a magician going round the tables doing tricks

doing or turning

I am eating some bullshit frozen pizza tonight and it will be real good tbh

Dr Oetker has the right prescription for me

That's what I have!

The "Virtuoso"

I'm endlessly fascinated that, of all the foreign branding they could have conceivably chosen, they decided to associate themselves with the city of Boston, no doubt because of its legendary reputation for pizza.xps

First time I visited Vancouver I was perplexed by Boston pizza,I then took a trip down to Portland and saw a Papa Murphy's pizza. "Do these folk think pizza is irish?" I thought

tbf the best pizza i've ever had may have been in montreal

For real? Do tell. I had better pizza in NYC fwiw, but I'm hardly a connoisseur to begin with.

Papa John is German I think. Chuck E Cheee, too.

And speaking of Montreal, I'd never heard of Boston Pizza before but we've apparently got two locations, both of which are out of the way as far as I'm concerned.

Haha xp to jim

at least we're not talkin St Louis pizza

The late 2010s-early 2020s growing estimation of Detroit pizza will not be a passing fad. It is only the beginning.

my west coast millennial relatives/friends have a very different concept of pizza, they are more interested in unusual ingredients / expansion of the concept, it's not my thing but maybe that is the future of pizza

Jordan Peterson says pineapple doesn't belong on pizza so I guess I have to like it now.

Well, said. He's probably a corpse by this point.

and that’s coming from the guy who started the Infamous foods of the Great Lakes Megalopolis thread

wish I had posted my thoughts in one of the pizza threads

lol xxp+xp was trying to respond to myself. I am not Jordan Peterson

I am not Jordan Peterson

New board description.

the montreal pizza was in the basement of a building somewhere between university and parc circa prince-arthur

also this was 25 years ago lol sorry

i don't even remember the details other than it was grebt

During the summer, putting a slice of lime in a double IPA is a good idea and fine

If you are accustomed to thinking about neurodiversity issues and have to juggle a lot of acronyms in your head on a daily basis, it’s OK if your “system 1” thinking (in kahneman-tversky nomenclature) frequently jumps from “BIPOC” to “bipolar indigenous people of color” and you have to practice the proper expansion to ensure you don’t fuck it up and look like a crazy asshole

ok

Should have made a new thread for “dumbass personal acronym problems” and put it there

how many acronym problems do u have tombo

99 but a BIP ain't one

You can’t talk to me about acronym problems until you know how to pronounce “time phased force deployment data” in two syllables

And/or help me with pronouncing “quality service management organization” in two syllables- it’s quiz-mo or kyu-smo, I think

I have too many acronym opinions to contain here; a thread would barely do the topic justice.

Not least because I still observe the quaint distinction between an acronym (NATO, NASA) and an initialism (FBI, BLT)

xxp tipfud I'd guess

seize all Catholic hospitals for the state

Seize the state for the catholic church

If i lay down rat poison nad it turns out to be borrowers will i regret it?

all Catholic churches and property portfolios too

first we need a 'state' that will not immediately sell them to the highest bigger their besties.

Trump’s not a russian asset, he is a CIA asset. From the outside his “money pit” businesses, like the golf courses, and mysterious loans suggest a money laundering operation. People have long speculated that he is cleaning money for russian oligarchs to finance his lifestyle. I think he was laundering money for the CIA that they use for their “off the books” operations. (cf Iran-Contra). This is why Mueller inexplicably didn’t look into Trump’s finances. It would expose the intelligence community, not just Trump; Trump knows it, which is why he taunted these people all the time from the start.

good one

it's def saudi arabian and russian mobsters though

trump being a cia asset would explain why they haven't killed him yet

treeship come back down the air is very thin up there

Treeshiver Stone

Just think about it.

I don’t think the intelligence community likes him at this point. I think there are just deep links there which is why he was so blase about dissing them early on—they held no mystique for him whatsoever.

Also, him being in bed with the cia doesn’t mean he isn’t also linked to saudi and russian oligarchs. The picture is muddy, not clear. But I don’t think he was ever in the pocket of a foreign power—it makes more sense to see him as, like epstein, some kind of cia asset that they formally keep at arm’s length.

interesting tbh
