    True facts I will never be able to purge from my accursed brain.

    The married couple who owned the house in the 80’s sitcom “Mr Belvedere” canonically met in Altoona. The premise of the sitcom was that a lower/middle class family ended up with a refined british butler who solved all their issues for them and brought them closer as a family. It was exactly how it sounds.

          You know, as unappetizing as this looks, it probably tastes close to dipping a grilled cheese into tomato soup. I’m keeping my mind open, but good lord they need help with their plating.

      Jim Cornette is a pro-wrestling personality who’s known for his fast loud mouth on-air.

      He’s also known as being hard to get along with by most people.

      So in the 1980s, when he was first becoming nationally well known, he would have bickering arguements with his coworkers. He made a list of people he didn’t like.

      Then in the 1990s, he worked with a guy named Vince Russo, who he still to this day HAAAAAATES. He’s quoted as saying “Spite is a hell of a motivator, and it’s the reason I’m going to live one day longer than Vince Russo. Just so I can piss on his grave.”

      So after dealing with Vince Russo, the WWF hired someone he worked with years earlier, and found he wasn’t as mad at him as he once was.

      He was quoted as saying “You used to be much higher on my shitlist, but you’ve moved down a few spots simply by not doing anything differently!”

      I’ve always taken that last quote to be an interesting take on perspective. How things can be exactly the same, but your perspective may shift with experience.

      With all that said, I see this picture, of something that is being called “Pizza”, and I realize that pineapple on pizza isn’t the abomination to the form of pizza that I once percieved it as.

          I’m not from the US, so pardon my ignorance. But holy shit, this place looks depressing as fuck. I don’t know if it’s the concrete jungle or the lack of walkability, but it just looks sad

            It’s the barren concrete taking up 3/4 of the view with a hint of lawn behind more concrete. Europe was built before modern vehicles and has narrower streets with more residential in between businesses and has some cobblestone and what not. USA was built around railways and highways so everyone has a car and walking was an afterthought.

            Edit: additionally ever wonder why Europeans say how far a distance is in kilometers and Americans answer with “it’s about 25 minutes”? It’s partially that reason plus the physical distance is larger (some states are larger than countries) so miles mean less to us than knowing the time, post logistics.

              I mean yeah, I missed out that the “cheese” is plastic, but I thought the burnt bits pointed that out by getting you to pay attention to that.

              This fucking place is a disaster, they didn’t deserve my boy Luigi 😢

              Legit something a child would dream up. Let’s take challah bread or something else thick like it and throw some ketchup on and a slice of plastic cheese on top. It’s as much pizza as the candy spaghetti from Elf was pasta.

                I had hoped at least it was part of a loaf of garlic bread. That, a decent sauce, and they make their own mozz with bright yellow dye in it before slicing it like a pack of american cheese. that I would try. fuck, I’m going to have to learn to make mozz now that I have this craving.

    To be blunt, I don’t blame them.

    There was a price on his head, and while I understand why he would do what he did (though his direct intentions haven’t really been made public), and I agree that there are good reasons for what he did; the fact is, he committed a crime.

    While we’re all basically cheering on what he did, I’m sure that CEO that I don’t care enough about to remember his name, had family and friends and stuff who will miss him greatly.

    Those people, under the law, are entitled to justice, the same as you or I are entitled to justice when healthcare CEOs deny coverage that directly leads to someone’s death. Though, I don’t know how much of the latter has ever transpired. Regardless, the fact that we’re entitled to our day in court to get justice, so are they.

    Provided Luigi is guilty, of course. This fact has yet to be proven in a court of law.

    With all that in mind, and the monetary reward for basically turning him in, for someone working a minimum wage job at McDonald’s, that’s an easy call. You’re technically “doing the right thing” by tipping off police to the whereabouts of a suspect in a murder, and you also get a payday for it. Win-win ? I guess?

    Personally, I was hoping that, we the people (or at least the US people), would feel so strongly in support of what was done, that we would individually agree unanimously, that we don’t turn this person in, and we just carry on. Sure, authorities would keep looking for him because they’re paid to, but the general public simply isn’t helping them at all with it.

    IMO, that would have sent a very public and very clear message to the people in charge that “we the people” do not care about you. We have the power to do these things and suffer no consequences. We have the power that you think you hold. Do the right thing, or you’re next.

    Alas, not the case. Oh well.

      The snitch probably will never see a dime from the reward, you need to provide info on very specific ways to be able to collect. What a dumb fuck. I hope we get to find out who the snitch was, I have my theories…
