My only issue is that the Texas needs bbq sauce

You're over thinking it.
I mean I grew up in Texas, pizza there is ok. We have bbq pizza too here in Indiana, and the Saint Louis, which is done all over the midwest is called party style. I mean, maybe it is communist party style? The 5th column, sneaking powdered pineapple into the dough or something. Who knows?

Look on the bright side, at least it wasn't a low dogger.

Sure, where you connected to the news cycle 45 years ago as we all can be today?

Well, I am agreeing with you, but if you like to argue about it for awhile, I guess that's fun too.

But if we’re tracking how long people with power have been lying to people less or no power, that’s existed ever since imbalanced power dynamics and hierarchical power structures have existed.

Holy moly, dude, no. We're just talking about pizza toppings.

Not trying to argue, just saying that tech has rendered these relationships to news, media, entertainment, fundamentally different.

This is what happens when you train your “AI” on internet text.

I asked ChatGPT to describe a painting by Diego Rivera called Nude with Calla Lillies. It went on and on about the subject’s face in the painting. The amazing detail, the expression, etc. Take a moment to look up that painting. It’s a masterpiece with a visible butt. So it shouldn’t offend even Eric’s saint of a grandmother. But just in case go look it up yourself, because butt. Notice anything? Besides the butt and the flowers, I mean.

The best counterpoint to AI technology that I've ever heard:

"Why should I bother reading something that nobody bothered to write?"

Well played, spouse of mine. Well played.

Overheated, you dorsal-facist bigot. Hang an oversized pair of Groucho glasses on the hips and it’d make a fine face.
More seriously, that’s a genuinely interesting failure and good pushback on that idea that there’s any understanding involved.

"Why should I bother reading something that nobody bothered to write?"

Well played, spouse of mine. Well played.

Definitely one for the spouse.

(For those who haven’t seen them, Dr. Bronner's Soap Label Summary & Moral ABCs (+ Visuals) will brighten your day. In comments there’s a link to a full-size PDF of one of the vintage labels. Great organic soap, too, long beloved of backpackers for being so concentrated and my immmuno-compromised people for being so light in typical allergens.)

I just fixed a very vital piece of equipment at work by blowing on it like a Nintendo cartridge.

Really regretting going to college.
