The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

[Scribe]

Unfortunately, much "informed opinion" is informed by someone else's uninformed opinion. Especially on the internet.

Many moons ago, my professor gave us a segment of a book to read for class. The premise was 'The world is so complex, I could tell you anything, and odds are good, you have no clue if its true or false'.

This was decades ago, in an even simpler more innocent age when there was still a concept at least, of 'truth'.

Today? lol no.

Objectivity is a myth

The human capacity to be objective is a myth. That objective truths exist, like say physics, is not a myth.

This is true.
Two plus two will always equal four.
And there will always be at least one person trying to convince me otherwise.

I'm ready, just as soon as others accept Wiz got to swallow their teeth on this one.

So I’ve been gone since Thursday night chaperoning a school activity.

Anything new?

…..Oh…..

So everyone’s happy now?

….c’mon……

So, basically, of you had gone offline earlier this would all have been resolved sooner...?

I'm not 100% sure how cause and effect works, but that sounds plausible.

I'm trying to think of what move would tick off the most people. I'm picturing going back to featuring the pineapple pizza that used the patented pineapple variety, making it only doable for delivery and not dining in at the restaurant, and not letting up on the patent. Does that get the vast majority of people?

Introduce a multi-license scheme governing crust thickness and shape, and yes, you might well manage to irritate over 110% of everyone!

... Except for the fact that a bunch of cute penguins apparently went all Ewok on a panda...

That's mildly disturbing.

While we were trying to save the pizza world from the pineapple onslaught, the evil overlords were pushing their plans to fruition.

De la poudre de grillons dans votre pizza ? Oui, mais pas « à votre insu »

L’autorisation de mise sur le marché de poudre de grillons partiellement dégraissés, début janvier, a suscité dégoût et inquiétudes

www.20minutes.fr

It's in French, but here a translation of the caption under the picture:

"Tiziana di Costanzo, co-founder of Horizon Insects, showing a pizza slice made from powdered crickets, London, June 2021."

And the title is "Powdered crickets in your pizza, sure! But not without you being informed about it."


[The rest of the article is mostly irrelevant discussion about labelling obligations of allergens in the EU].


Sidenote: @Whizbang Dustyboots : I bought the Stygian Library and your advice was well-founded. It wasn't what I looked for, but it fills my need exactly.

Yeah, pineapple isn't even that weird, y'all.

From what I can tell? Just having the audacity to sell pizzas of any kind--for money--is enough to tick off a large percentage of ENWorld members.

"No! Do not tell me not to be led by my emotions! My emotions are legitimate; therefore, I am right to take their exhortations as gospel truth!"

Uh-huh.

"No! Do not tell me not to be led by my emotions! My emotions are legitimate; therefore, I am right to take their exhortations as gospel truth!"

Uh-huh.

That's right up there with, "You can't tell me that my opinion is wrong because it's an opinion, and opinions can't be right or wrong!"

 

[CleverNickName]

That's right up there with, "You can't tell me that my opinion is wrong because it's an opinion, and opinions can't be right or wrong!"

And the frustrating part is, that's absolutely true.

That's why I avoid saying "right" or "wrong." Instead, I'll say something like "I can't agree with that." And 90% of the time, this will still cause them to blow a fuse.
