I suppose you're obligated to make good pizza when the name of your company has the name of the food in it.

Dunno I go to an actual pizzeria for my pizza.

Cheapest regular Margherita is four euros and is made from a ball of dough in front of your own eyes. None of that mystery Pizza Hut kitchen shite.


I don't know that there are any good local pizzerias in Kannapolis. The town over from my college town has my favorite pizzeria: My Father's Pizza. However, that is two hours away from my hometown and I am not driving that far for pizza - no matter how good it is.

Prayer mainly works in mysterious ways, while secular health science gets concrete results. Clearly the work of Satan, because Satan is suspiciously powerful in this world despite God's undeniable omnipotence. Best not to think about it.

I never touched Democracy 1 or 2 (assuming that those exist because I bought Democracy 3 ages ago). I only imagine that they are far worse piles of shit than Democracy 3 is.

Perhaps probability is entirely predestined by God himself.

If God actually plays dice with the universe, the cold void of nothingness is preferable.

The more you know, the less you can claim ignorance. Not that ignorance is acceptable as an excuse, of course.
