@ThanosReXXX - Yeah, the “okay boomer” thing is probably skewing the perception of what makes a boomer. The kids are calling everyone over the age of 29 a boomer these days, and it’s really an amazing display of ignorance. Wait, hamburgers... fries... (Homer noises) so hungry now.
@Zuljaras - Late reply here, and Thanos has already (more eloquently) responded to most of it. I would just add that I’m not defending Anti. He’s capable of defending himself. I would defend his right to exist as he is, and I would defend this thread from devolving into average internet trash where everyone is firing off their beliefs as absolute facts, picking sides, and hurling feces at each other. You can get that kind of action just about anywhere else on the internet, which is where it should stay.
Which is why I actually wasn’t being aggressive with you when I mentioned that nobody cares about your political beliefs. It’s unwelcome conversation, it’s against site rules, and truly nobody cares. It’s not an insult, but a fact. I know that nobody cares where I fall in the gender politics debate, so I don’t discuss it. Especially on a chit chat forum (usually reserved for nonsense like pizza talk) on a Nintendo fan site.
Just to mention that I never saw anyone being told that they do not exist here. Being opposed to certain behaviour is NOT the same as telling someone that they do not exist.
You can be opposed to certain things and NOT trying to make them stop being who they are. At least I think I haven't told someone such a thing. To be irritated by some minor stuff and being snappy should not be judged so hard imo.
@bimmy-lee I've gotten "Hawaiian" pizza since college - first tried it working at a pizza place. Thought it was insane before then.
Many times I order double pineapple for my pizzas. For Hawaiian, the ham at different pizza places is a mixed bag, though. So I've been weary of ordering Hawaiian lately.
Pizza Pizza! (TM Little Caesar’s ((pre hot n ready))
@Woomy_NNYes - I love ham, pineapple, and pizza, but none of them together. I think we’re pretty evenly split around here. We do our best to get along, but, obviously, we eat in separate conference rooms during pizza parties. It’s really the only time that this divide between right (no pineapple) and wrong (pineapple) rears its ugly head.
@bimmy-lee Well, to be fair to the "boomer blamers", it probably counts just as much as us generalizing and calling people hipsters or millennials, so in a way, I get it. Doesn't mean I like it, though.
On a side note: who says that we don't care about your thoughts on the gender discussion? I can only speak for myself, obviously, but as long as you're no extremist in either direction, any opinion or point of view is welcome, in ANY discussion or topic, far as I'm concerned.
And as for your discussion with Zuljaras: I kind of got to know you, so I'd vouch for you as being good people, but obviously sometimes how other people interpret our comments is how we come across, and if I wouldn't have known you, then a comment like "nobody cares about your political beliefs" could have been interpreted in several ways, amongst which also a rather hostile one, basically telling me to shut up.
So, perhaps that was part of the discussion: interpretation, as it so often is. And instead of in normal face to face discussions, we then have to spend an extra two or three comments on explaining all that away, etcetera, etcetera... Anyway, I'm sure you'll get the point. Not a criticism, just an observation, mind you.
@Woomy_NNYes I never have ham on my pizza Hawaii. I always let them replace the ham with salami or pepperoni. I prefer the wider variety of taste between sweet and slightly spicy over the rather tame or only slightly salted taste of ham. Of course, there's various kinds of ham, but they'll never be pepperoni...

Good grief....I'm out/busy with CPR/med training for the whole morning and the thread blows up. What happened?
Edit: At least I understand pizza!
@bimmy-lee Depending on when my mother would pick me up, i easily spent 1 1/2 to 2 hours down there on average, depending on the bus schedule for the year. They didn't have very many SNES games, but most of the ones that were there are classics. I don't recommend Captain Novolin though; that was a pretty meh edutainment game. XD
I'm sure Bimily would love Babe. There were plenty of Disney and Don Bluth animal films that I enjoyed (and still do, for the most part) back in the day.
I love how things devolved from current political hot buttons, in a contraband but actually productively civil and engaging way to awkward talk about tropical fruit and pizza as everyone shuffles around looking at the ceiling.....
