There are plenty of Italian-American foods I enjoy and I usually like both versions. New York style pizza is delicious, as is Neapolitan Pizza Margherita. It’s fine to have your preferences, but it annoys me when people mistakenly claim the derivation as the original invention.
What the fuck are you talking about???
English and French are on opposite ends of the spectrum of how predictable the pronunciation of a word is, based on the spelling. French may have a ton of extra letters, but at least it’s consistent. The english language has so many exceptions to its rules that you effectively need to learn to pronounce almost every single word separately.
There’s a Super Smash Bros Brawl fanfiction with over 4.1 million words. It used to hold some kind of unofficial record for the longest piece of english fiction, but I think there’s longer ones out there now.
The Phoronix comment section has always been kinda shit. Maybe one in every thousand posts will contain anything of value (in most cases a comment by a developer telling the peanut gallery why they’re wrong).
Is there a source for these haughty, cackling archeologists making fun of hairdressers or is that just to manufacture some kind of underdog victory scenario?
Brother gets recommended a lot by virtue of being the least shitty option in the hellish wasteland of consumer/office printers. They aren’t perfect, but Brother printers have been the only option in the entire office to reliably print from a Linux computer over the network. Honestly, any day I don’t have to interact with a printer is a good day.
Mostly just the part where you claim that “modern” pizza was invented in the US. Not a different food, not a variation with its own history - just straight up “modern” pizza. That’s a very sad and mildly insulting way to describe a global hit with Italian roots. Mass production alone doesn’t give any country the right to claim to have invented a food.
I can understand the frustration of tourists when they expect something different from the authentic version of a dish, even if that’s pretty unlikely with a dish that has so many different styles all over the world, but you make it sound like pizza, as a whole, is a US invention and Italy serves some antiquated precursor… Also, Italy serves many different kinds of pizza. No one should feel forced to go to the most traditional restaurant in Naples and order a pizza margherita, even though most people will probably like it.
