For me, it may be that the toilet paper roll needs to have the open end away from the wall. I don't want to reach under the roll to take a piece! That's ludicrous!

That or my recent addiction to correcting people when they use "less" when they should use "fewer"

Chicago style pizza is not a style of pizza

I will offer 3 arguments:

A) Semantics - You called it pizza, therefore it is pizza by your own admission.

B) The word "pizza" encompasses many things, and you can do a whole chart describing different things called pizza like you can with sandwiches.

C) Fuck You. You probably put ketchup on hot dogs.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I hate both ketchup and hotdogs

Someone must have been very bad to you when you were little.

What about the humble French fry? Do you partake of its golden goodness?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Oh my, yes. I could make an entire meal out of just fries.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

You probably put ketchup on hot dogs

And mustard. Deal with it.

It’s an amazing, delicious casserole.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Truly an unpopular opinion.

Isn’t Chicago style pizza a type of pie ?
