A couple of people in my social circle gave me what appeared to be heavy second-hand hints that a girl I'm pretty close friends with was into me, but didn't want to tell me herself. I even steeled myself for and embarked upon a gentle let-down conversation.

Turns out nope, the people I hang out with just thought it was a good idea for each of them in turn to explain to me that they thought my closest friend really liked me and that I could probably get with her. Acting solely on the observation that we were good friends and she was a girl, not on any actual information. Because there's no way I and the person I'd spent entire days talking to and even drunkenly made out with could have worked out for ourselves whether or not we wanted to be in a relationship.

It takes some real goddamn effrontery to tell a guy they'd make a really nice couple with someone before determining the wishes of either of the people involved. Oh well, at least it didn't have much external consequence. I've been trying to get better at reading social clues, but in the future I won't try to pick them up from Sand People.

Feta is pretty good. A blue is pretty fucking good too.
But pizza. Cheese does not belong on a pizza.

I’m not sure if you could have possibly said anything more categorically untrue

Somewhere back in GD we have a pizza thread. Pretty sure it didn't get locked.

... but the point to bringing it up is that lots of things belong on a pizza, including cheese and donuts. Pizza is not limited by any one person's paltry constraints.

[Ulfarr]

You are a false prophet!!

Embrace the cheese heretic or burn eternally on the holy flames of the pizza oven!!!

[NJW2000]

What about, like, an entire poached egg on a pizza? Had that one time, still not sure about it.

[Ulfarr]

Still better than artichokes as a topping that someone once served me .  ::cue team america vomit gif::

(remembering that horrid thing counts as a WTF moment right? right?)

[Arx]

One of my friends occasionally sets out on a personal quest to produce the most bizarre pizzas ever. Toppings vary from the just-barely-fringe banana to the less-than-usual chips, or "literally everything you have in the shop".

It's still a pizza though! Descriptivism ahoy!

[Frumple]

Chips are indeed pretty great as a pizza topping. Also surprisingly good in mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, various sorts of soup, and rice. Ruffled ones seem to work better than unruffled, though. You can put them in whole or crush 'em up, either is fine.

Did she at least take the let-down conversation well?

(also I know what you mean but sand people is not a polite term where I live)

[Mephisto]

Google is getting in on the whole "Early Access" BS.

Except this isn't about any sort of vague QC shenanigans, it's purely extra money.

You're from Tatooine?

She just laughed about it. She'd never dropped any hints of the kind. It was lightly embarassing, but fine really.

And yeah, by sand people I meant the crowd of hooting star wars fans butting in. I hadn't actually come across "sand people" for Arabs before, thanks for letting me know about that one.

[wierd]

I was under the impression that the more offensive terms were "Towel head", "rag head" and "Hadji" (after the Johnny Quest character).  "Sand people" seems... I dunno.   I can see ignorant asses using it, like any other offensive term... but it seems uncommon to me.

You need to start understanding context, EH.
