  1. Anchovies and pineapple is great! Particularly with something like banana peppers with them!
  2. I am now cautiously optimistic about the series! As a fan of the comics, I was pretty disappointed that they changed her powers so drastically. To me, it seemed, they would have to nail Kamala's character in order for it to be Ms Marvel. Thankfully, they did that in this episode along with the family. Bruno was certainly changed for the show, but we don't talk about him.
  3. Sounds like a style guide to me, like all grammar! Grammar is a lie! The only truth in this world is that pineapple goes on pizza. With anchovies.
  4. If God is outside of time, it doesn't measure time relative to itself
  5. Meh. That's only a, singular, interpretation. The Hebrew word in question can mean period, but it can also mean day. Basically, believe what you want, but there's no factual basis that one interpretation is more accurate "to the originalme meaning" than another.
  6. That's what THEY want you to think! le gasp!
  7. I have had anchovies AND pineapple on pizza.... it was pretty good! (Full disclosure: there was also banana peppers or jalapeños on it. I think that extra spice kick is necessary)
  8. Ahhhhh!

    That's an excited scream!

      ...what is it? Now I'm burning with curiosity

  9. One should always have John Carpenter's The Thing on their list, even if you decide to wait until you are more ready! I really liked the 70s Hellhouse movie, but don't quite recall the title. You can also consider watching the first entries in classic horror franchises: Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, Saw, etc. and ignore the rest because they are kinda garbage. That would also give you the background you need if you ever wanted to watch Scream. Killer Clowns from Outer Space is really fun. Alien and Aliens. The others are fine to garbage. Predator, while we're looking into the scifi-horror side of things. I hear Kubrick's The Shining is a classic, but I haven't watched it yet. I've also heard Doctor Sleep is great. Consider Annihilation. Having a great sound system is essential to get the most out of it. It also strays faaaar from the book, so it won't ruin the book for you. I'll leave it at that for now.
  10. I mean... shrimp, lobsters and crabs are kinda sea bugs, and we eat those just fine! I would try bugs on pizza, but I wouldn't pay for it.
  11. Truck Drivin' Man - Buck Owens Friends in Low Places - Garth Brooks
  12. I'll provide some folksy stuffs, then! Mr. Fool by George Jones Reasons to Quit - Merle Haggard And of course, Big Iron by Marty Robbins I'll be back with Bob Dylan and Gordon Lightfoot suggestions.
  13. I always liked the insect glaive, but hammer builds and charge axes were great, too! I think my favorite hame was Monster Hunter 4, that seemed to tick off all the boxes for me!
  14. One should be careful, get it from a pizzeria you trust! Sometimes, at bad pizzerias, they'll use anchovies that come from a container that's been open for a loooong time. Eating that can get you sick Other than that, if you like canned fish and salt, it's great! Onions will cut down on the saltiness (in my experience) and you'll only want to have veggies with it (I wouldn't have pepperoni or sausage with it, imo). As far as should you have pineapple with it? Well, have one life experience at a time, no need to cram it all in!
  15. I think a lot of times, the current "reader culture" values entertainment/ enjoyment at the expense of all else. In this case, edification! It's an edifying novel that's well-crafted and is even more important for you or I because it comes from the "enemy" and humanized them. So you aren't "wrong" for not enjoying it. Part of growing as a reader is realizing that some books aren't for mere escapism. And recognizing when you can/want to read a book for edification and letting it sit when what you want is entertainment. Hopefully that didn't come out too snooty
  16. Are you looking to expand your tastes or want to stick closer to what you know you like?
  17. I also love anchovy on pizza...or toast! It's a common snack I have, sometimes ground into a paste!
  18. You act like there aren't spikes in other things...like the pizza without pineapple! Mwahaha!
  19. Do you know what curiosity does to cats?! I am an atheist with a non-trinitarian background that likes to use Catholic theological terms in jokes...like heresy! I tend to know more Catholic theology or what they consider heresies (Nestorian is my favorite) because that's just what tends to show up in the books I like to read when any strain of Christianity does show up.
