  • Personally I’m far more concerned with the amount of sauce I’ve been seeing on pizza than people’s choice of toppings, but i honestly don’t mind pineapple. The right amount and I find it a nice sweet flavor that goes nice with spicy toppings like jalapeno.

    On the sauce thing, It’s getting to the point where it’s easier to list places that don’t just give you cheesy bread with a microscopic level of sauce because apparently that’s the norm around here.

    I’m no historical expert and I am just kind of spitballing here but I could see a few situations where that would make sense. Like you have something that is too hot to handle for the time being, maybe you just stole from Spain and now you have to pass through a Spanish blockade? Or maybe people can easily show up to a port with a normal amount of gold/currency but then over a certain amount it either risks being confiscated or drawing attention.


  • When confronted with any questions that make people evaluate their dissonance people will often fall back on “I don’t know” and refuse to engage information that contradicts their beliefs. If they do engage at all it may come in the form of circular logic, “Things are this way because they just are”.

    It can basically become a parent getting exasperated trying to explain why the sky is blue to a kid when they don’t really know themselves.

    The disconnect is often that their worldview is they are “right” and they just know that they are, and trying to prove otherwise kinda circles back on the sky argument. Saying that they are wrong is like telling them the sky is neon yellow, they know you’re wrong in their mind.

    So yeah I’m not sure how to get through to that other than people being social and usually abandoning ideas if they conflict with everyone around them and offer no options for people to engage with them, but that can be undone fast with an echo chamber of false information or really anything that reinforces their beliefs.
