  • It’s really good! I feel like most of the the people who dislike pineapple on pizza is due to the fact that baking chunks of shitty quality pineapple is pretty bad. But that’s an issue with execution, not concept. Pineapple’s flavour profile, sour and sweet, isn’t inherently antithetical to a pizza. Tomato is also sour, sweet and a fruit. Throwing raw canned tomatoes onto a pre cooked pizza base for 15 mins would suck as well. If it weren’t just a burst of slightly too sweet warm pineapple juice when you bit into it it would be fine. Unfortunately, better quality pineapple and preparing it better would eat into profits and people have already drawn a line in the sand, so it’s beyond salvaging.















  • If 60% of all the food a neighbourhood gets is from this one dude, but the residents of that neighbourhood only account for 30% of that dude’s income, trying to antagonize the dude hurts the whole neighbourhood a lot more than the dude is hurt. Now you have to pay even more, or go without your favorite foods. Meanwhile, everyone needs food, the guy selling food can just make less food tomorrow and spend his time doing other things, or find other hungry people and work out a deal.

    The DoorDash drivers have reported bookings for the dude’s food in said neighbourhood have plummeted by 64%. This is bad for the guy selling food. It’s much worse for the people in the neighbourhood who may have to deal with malnutrition.


  • He did a lot of wildly different things in a way that you can’t really pin him on a modern political compass, so everyone from libs to conservatives are able to find something worth liking about him, thus exalting him further.

    He was nicer to Native Americans than other presidents of the time. He argued for racial purity and was against interracial marriage. He greatly expanded the national parks and public land. He colonised the Philippines. He worked with unionists and regulated capital, threatened to nationalize coal if the striking miners’ demands weren’t met, and introduced the concept of “workers compensation” for injuries. He shot animals for fun. He argued for conserving natural resources. He sent most of the US Navy uninvited all over the world just to flex/intimidate. He did an imperialism in Central America.

    He was a racist maniac hell bent on expanding the US empire, but believed that at least the subjects of the Imperial Core should at least benefit from the imperialism like the bourgeoisie already do.


  • Plot spoilers:

    spoiler

    Fairly do-able even on Honor Mode if you use illusions or a bard playing music to lure every witness in the room away, and also shove the flying eye into the abyss (and then leave/go invisible before someone comes to investigate why the eye “”“died”“”).

    Then if you surprise her, use the surprise round to just (non-lethally) cave her head in with a raging barbarian using a maul or something like that, then proceed to wipe out the rest of the leaders, once you report back to the grove and finish up Act 1, she will be in Act 2 getting scolded for failing.

    All that dialogue can also encountered without knocking her out. The trigger for it is to completely ignore the Goblin/Druid conflict. Without your interference, the Tieflings are cast out, the Druids finish the ritual and magically seal off their grove, Minthara gets reprimanded for failing her objective, and you have the option of saving then recruiting her from there. Doing this means you miss out on Wyll, Halsin, the breadcrumb for Karlach, so they give you Minthara.



  • Yeah, it’s a part of their doctrine that if someone in your 2 man team goes overboard, you dive in after them.

    In calm waters, this boosts the chance of survival

    In rough waters, at night, winter, in rough seas, wearing camo, where you were boarding an enemy vessel? They both died.

    However, since the US military operates on a “if we don’t find a corpse, they’re MIA/POW”, add another 2 people to the MIA/POW list. Poseidon is holding 2 USian dipshits hostage, possibly in Indochina. Gotta declare war on the ocean like Caligula
