  • I feel the same way. I understand the people who say “fuck ‘em”, but I believe in second chances for most things (some of the more extreme crimes and actions are open for debate).

    I’m not really sure myself how to break through the brainwashing but I saw an interesting article on here a few days ago about that same topic. I currently can’t remember the title but I’ll do a quick search when I finish my comment.

    The gist of the article was, attacking people with facts doesn’t work but asking open ended questions that force the other person to explore why they think a certain thing to be true. My quick take on it is, they need to self reflect and not just feel.





  • Pizza - noun - a dish made typically of flattened bread dough spread with a savory mixture usually including tomatoes and cheese and often other toppings and baked

    -Merriam-Webster Dictionary

    That’s what I see here, I don’t see the tomatoes specifically but there’s a lot of cheese that might be covering those tomatoes. Even if there are no tomatoes, the definition uses the term “usually” which is not always.

    What constitutes a pizza to you?


  • To be fair, I would be mildly infuriated if I was expecting a pizza with popular toppings and I opened a box to find this.

    I didn’t mean to come off as a jerk, I’m just sensitive to the snark that gets thrown around over stupid things like this. I’ve seen those jokey comments about pineapple on pizza turn into personal attacks in real life just because someone was trying to defend a food they think tastes good. Of course the people who did that were “just joking”. Pineapple (or pickles) on pizza isn’t my thing but my girlfriend loves Hawaiian pizza and I’ll happily enjoy the leftovers.

    I don’t want to disrupt the circle jerk but those are two different models so this is not an apples to apples comparison. This is like comparing someone’s Subaru Outback to a Cadillac Escalade. Those are both SUVs but the Escalade is much bigger than the Outback. I’m not saying that trucks haven’t become giant monstrosities in recent history but this is a misleading post. If you compare a Ford Ranger or Tacoma from 20 years ago, it has gotten larger but it’s still a modest sized pickup truck in 2025.

    I am a contractor and drive a pick up for work, it’s big and dumb.




  • I thought it was always spelled Raiden, found this on Wikipedia and when the article says “this way” that means with an AI instead of a Y

    Raiden’s name was spelled this way in all of the original arcade games and in every game since Mortal Kombat 4. However, the PC and console ports released until Mortal Kombat Trilogy, along with both movies and the TV series, changed the name to “Rayden”, fearing the original spelling would lead to trademark issues from Seibu Kaihatsu’s shoot 'em up game Raiden. Ed Boon personally hated that Acclaim spelled it with a Y.
