Nothing divides the masses like pineapple pizza. lol! However being a Canadian and since Canada invented it and we have so few things to be proud of I’m sticking up for the pineapple pizza!

Mic Drop with a very slow back away from the microphone while wearing a long grey trench coat with up turned collar and the awareness of every pair of eyes in the room...the coat slips open as you back away to reveal beneath a rebel tee that yells "Justice for Mary" ...but only for those with eyes to see beneath the veil of London Fog, wisdom, and wit...he was stoned, but not in the way one might assume....

I was going to restack, but you have a nickelback video embedded. Sorry, not sorry.

LOL I cannot blame you - I know the Nickelback elicits passionate feelings :-D

Still, happy you liked the rest enough to consider a restack - gotta take the good vibes where I can get them ;-)

This certainly piqued my interest. "Typhoid Mary’ was framed, because she dared to say ‘no’ to the Powers-That-Were." Do you have any data on this subject?

As for Nickelback, a gruff, husky male voice singing in a minor key gets my approval. Always liked them.

Marijuana though - chronic use leads to gut dysbiosis, neurological deterioration (particularly memory) and this species is used in soil remediation as it sequesters heavy metals in all parts of the plant. Lead, arsenic, cadmium are inhaled in the smoke and ingested in the oil. As in everything, moderation is importamt.

I have actually tried typing a response to the 'Mary' query twice, but each was far too long for 'Comments' - I am now planning out a lengthier post, perhaps a new article, to flesh it out. When I do, I'll tag you in it.

I genuinely do NOT understand the Nickelback hate, but... well, it is what it is *shrug

And I agree 100% about Cannabis - moderation first!

Great comment, as always... :-)

I think a lot of the whole Nickelback "hate" thing was that they had a lot of songs hit the charts in a relatively short span, which means that mainstream rock radio played those songs over and over and over and over to the point where a lot of people just got sick and tired of hearing them, and that backlash ended up being applied to the band as well.

What if I told you... some people put kumquat on pizza?

(there probably nothing left in the world that hasn't been tried on pizza yet)

Dude... I thought we were frens 😳😂😂

Just kidding, of course - and I actually LOVE green olives 🫡

Of course we're frens! We can agree to disagree on the pineapple and I won't even call you uncivilized or say that your tastebuds need rehab.

And yeah, green olives on pizze are the best! Especially with pineapple. ;)

My first experience with pineapple pizza was as a kid back in the 80s. Somebody served “Hawaiian Pizza” at a party. Not only did it have pineapple, it also had bbq sauce instead of pizza sauce (it also had ham, so I guess it was a Hawaiian luau kind of thing). It was disgusting.

Bleh! Barbeque sauce on pineapple... PIZZA! That's a crime against both pizza AND barbeque... and pineapples! What the blazes are people thinking??? LOL

Thanks, TBR - appreciate ya being here :-)

The US is now a dictatorship. But all governments are because they can never survive without the master-slave relationship. Guess who are the slaves? The original Constitution and Bill Of Rights was supposed to maintain the citizen as the master. Well after day one, that proclamation bit the dust. When has the citizen ever controlled the government? Maybe back in the stone age.

Well, my page IS called "The Stone Age"... so maybe you're right :-)

Seriously though, I hear ya. They set the legal framework in place - especially the Bill of Rights - then immediately started ignoring it. Frustrating, no doubt.

Thanks for the comment, appreciate you being here.

" It has been 901 days since Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted on sex trafficking-related counts. In that time, not one of her (nor Jeffrey Epstein’s) clients has faced arrest, prosecution, or even the burden of being mildly inconvenienced…" the paradox here is that the very people who could or should prosecute them are also the ones 'protecting' them from prosecution.

100% true, Seamus. A sickening detail the masses who still embrace the propaganda fail to realize.

I believe that pineapple (fruit) on pizza, along with all things vegetarian, was the first “in your face” incursion of activist feminism into the lives of the unwashed masses of men eating badly. Why can’t they leave us alone? Pepperoni pizza, a Lucky Strike and quart of Rainier beer listening to Led Zeppelin’s 2nd album... Nirvana lost

An intriguing observation, Charles, and one I had not considered. If it were part of some suppressive psyop, it would not surprise me one bit.

And apologies for the delayed response - for some reason, I don't always see these comments in a timely manner. Appreciate ya... *salute

Fact: If you think you have enough guns and ammunition, you need to buy more, right now. When you return from the gun store, you will realize that there were other guns you needed, you just cannot afford them yet. This is rational thinking in America. 🇺🇸

“The science is settled” — 1000%!! Every variation of this. “Trust the science” “i believe in science”… it all irks me so much.

Agree with most of these, except pineapple pizza. Sweet and savory is a classic combination and pineapple pizza is the perfect incarnation of sweet and savory.

Holy crap, Melissa - I just now saw this! *facepalm I apologize for the delayed follow-up...

And I am right there with ya. 'Trust the science' ranks right up there with 'Our democracy' and (ironically) 'fact-checker' on the cringe-meter. Propagandizing manipulation, all the way around.

And while I love 'sweet and savory' as much as the next bloke? Well, everyone has their own ideas on how those should be combined... LOL

Appreciate the comment! :-)

“Our democracy”!! I think that’s the worst one! Fact-checker is bad, too. It’s Orwellian…

No worries, either for the delayed response (I’m often guilty of that) or for your abysmal taste in sweet/savory combinations (we can’t agree on everything, right?). Thanks for the reply. I really enjoyed this article!

Good facts! 👌🏾
