gently caress you all, I like Pizza Hut.

I actually had one for the first time in 3 or so years recently. I felt a longing for greasy pizza so we ended up in a Pizza Hut. I ordered a dirty cheese crust pepperoni monstrosity and when it came out I was actually disappointed. It wasn't the greasy mess I desired but a much more upmarket pizza which didn't have the distinctive taste of a greaseball Pizza Hut.

Sad times.

You and me both buddy. Pizza Hut is way better than people claim.

I like Pizza Hut too, but the local franchise somehow finds it completely impossible to ever get an order right, so I gave up and just get Papa Johns. It's not like I make difficult orders either - "Large sausage and pepperoni". Somehow it's not possible to actually make one of those though I guess.

If I'm in town and want a seriously greasy (and very yummy) pizza though, I got for Streets of New York. For whatever reason I really like their pizza.

Unless it's stuffed crust, i don't even eat it. Pizza hut used to do great stuffed crust then changed it a while ago and then it was gross. Dominos seem to have stopped doing their cheese & bacon stuffed crust, which was loving awesome, but did make me burp like crazy for the 5+ hours after eating it.

Papa John's stuffed crust is pretty sexual. I'm craving that poo poo pretty bad right now.

Even if you could say "If you make below X dollars a year, you are exempt from paying tax", you would still have opposition from the people that earn a living off the tax code as it is. Imagine how many hundreds of thousands of jobs would become instantly obsolete if the tax code simply said "If income > X, then pay 10 percent" (or whatever arbitrary number).
Yeah, but the tax code should read "if money changes hands, give x% of it to the gov." and have x be a really low number.
Everyone pays, at the same rate, every time. Doesn't matter if it's a cheeseburger or a yacht.

There's an awesome little pizza place just a five minute walk from my house or I can drive ten minutes to a Pepe's. If I really want to I can drive 45 minutes to New Haven and have what ever awesome pizza I want. I've never been to Sally's or Bar and I need to fix that.

That really only works in terms of the govt getting their "fair" share if people don't use cash. Transactions between individuals would happen with cash and go unreported. The use of paper currency would skyrocket, as would counterfeit operations. People would stop using credit to purchase anything because it leaves a paper trail. Black market sales would go through the ROOF.

Anyway, are you saying that Amazon doesn't pay tax, period, or they just don't pay sales tax to the state in which the product was ordered from? Both? Because if it's simply sales tax, why would they fight that? I am temporarily ignoring that me having to pay a sales tax on goods from Amazon would make it somewhere in the neighborhood as what I would pay locally (depending on what it is, of course)? Because they wouldn't be paying the sales tax, I would.

It isn't the sales tax they so much miss out on over here but the corporation tax. A normal UK business has to pay tax on my profits. Amazon manage to do something sneaky with their reported profit due to being a massive multinational with excellent accountants so that their reported profit stays low and they don't pay much UK corporation tax on it. Us normal people are unable to exploit the same laws to our benefit.

Also, when you tithe, you're giving a percentage of your SALARY. When you're tipping, it's a percentage of the bill. Not even close to the same thing, you stupid gently caress.

Calling a flat tax regressive flat out ignores the dictionary definition of fair. (15% of 10,000) is still 1/10th of (15% of $150,000), etc.

Only chain that delivers to my house is Papa Johns, not great but there's usually coupons so it's cheap. There's a little Mom and Pop place that makes some pretty good pizza, really good BBQ chicken pizza and their meat special is awesome. Two family run places by my parents that make amazing pizza, always order when I'm home.

I was surprised when I ordered pizza in Germany last year. Very thing flaky crust, comes out un-cut on a big plate. Really good topping combos.

Actually, I complain but in all honesty I've really gotten used to it, I even enjoy it. I'm roughly following the nutritarian / eat-to-live thing because I like its focus on really good nutrition. It's tons of greens, veggies (raw & steamed), beans, onions, mushrooms, fruits, berries, seeds, nuts... pretty much paleo, I guess. Very little meat or animal stuff. Already lost ~20lbs in maybe 5 weeks.

Turns out even if you try to eat KINDA healthy, if you have your rear end parked in a chair smoking massive piles of weed every night, you gain weight back that you worked hard to lose. I'll eat veggies if I can keep the weed. Last time around I went from 353lbs down to 199.9999. Gained back about 60 over the last few years, and now I've clawed my way back to ~240. Still want pizzas and oils and all the fattest foods.

Does it actually have tea on the ingredients list? I always assumed it contains actual tea in the same way as a chicken and mushroom pot noodle contains chicken.

Despite this it is also my favourite soft drink (the lemon flavour over the peach one though) along with ginger beer.

I used to spend a lot of time and money racing Traxxas RC stadium trucks so they are the perfect sponsor. We usually ran on a dedicated dirt track but if the weather was poo poo we'd throw on touring car rubber and put jumps on the indoor track. They're doing the same just so so much better.
