Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

Sure, why not. Pizza is so universal you should absolutely use it to bake a cake…instead of, you know, baking an actual cake.

This would only be a problem for me if you were to then hold this wierd recipe up as an example of why pizza is bad.

The versatile nature of pizza is a feature, not a bug.

Ehhhh…

Most starchy foods are neutral enough in flavor that they’re interchangeable for a lot of culinary purposes.* I’ve had noodle dishes turned into baked potatoes, rice dishes served on noodles, bagels turned into pizzas, pizzas turned into pastas, potato dishes turned into sandwiches, etc.





* in our kitchen, we call them “flavor delivery systems”

I turned mac and cheese into bread!


- technically the cheese sauce, which you add flour to and stir until evenly mixed, apparently i had added double the flour to the sauce ingredients. my friend said that they though it was a getting a little thick and not "sauce-like". I told them to keep stirring...they did and it solidified into "dough".

IT’S A MIRACLE!

And you may find yourself living in a shotgun stack
And you may find yourself posting in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large two button mouse
And you may find yourself in an online house, with a online life
And you may ask yourself, "Well, how do I post here?"

Letting the days go by, let the moderators hold me down
Letting the days go by, mods flowing underground
Into the feed again, after the thread is gone
Once in a lifetime, mods flowing underground


And you may ask yourself, "How do I work this site?"
And you may ask yourself, "Where is that large two button mouse?"
And you may tell yourself, "This is not my online house"
And you may tell yourself, "This is not my online life"


Letting the days go by, let the moderators hold me down
Letting the days go by, mods flowing underground
Into the feed again, after the thread is gone
Once in a lifetime, mods flowing underground


Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was

​

same as it ever was...

On Bluesky:

Person 1: I’m making a general statement about a broad group of people and why that makes them “part of the problem.”

Person 2: Oh, yeah I totally get that. Like I really hate it when they do this very specific thing. They’re the worst.

Person 1: Whoa, man. That’s what you got from my post?

Me reading all this: I’m shocked, SHOCKED, that your broad generalization got misinterpreted or co-opted for someone else’s point.

Get 1% done when you can, as often as you can. You'll realize that vision.

One of the most critical skills to develop in life is to learn to do things bit at a time. I've found it even more critical once I realized I have some degree of ADHD. You can get some pretty good work out as long as you just keep chipping.

I don't know who needs to hear this*, but your rules lawyering and advantage hunting does not improve the experience.

*actually, I do, but they aren't here, so...

I've argued any number of times that a large part of rules lawyering is spawned by players who have a different sense of appropriate power level than the GM (and possibly rules system does). When you've got that kind of dissonance, you're always going to get people pushing against the edges.

In this case, it is a player that likes smashing the big red WIN button and hates losing even the tiniest bit.

Yes, exactly, ENWorld users are the absolute worst!

I am not seriously intending to denigrate anybody on ENWorld, and would like to profusely apologize to anyone who thought that I was serious for even the few seconds it took to read this disclaimer.
