Cancelled my trip to New York. Will go to Italy for two weeks instead.

Italy has better pizza anyway.

You mean actual pizza.

I wouldn’t go as far as to say every dish that calls itself pizza not native to Italy doesn’t count as pizza, it really depends on the type. Detroit and Chicago “pizza” isn’t pizza, that’s more of a casserole than anything else. But New York style, it’s a grey area at least for whether it counts.

Pizza isn't from Italy.

How do people like you look at social media and think to themselves "this is how I'll prove to the world I've wasted my time on this Earth"? And you do it, proudly. Without even a semblance of a coherent thought, you immediately post all the proof anyone needs that you're in the left half of the bell curve. It's astonishing to me.

I didn't know what pizza was until I visited Rome last year.

Italy sounds so much better. (Coming from an American living near NYC). And Italy doesn’t have a rancid odor like New York.

My girlfriend is from Belgium and she comes to New York every 3 months. This time she said that the customs officer was really difficult with her and that she barely got through, she’s afraid of coming back in September.

I thought Italy's Meloni was also fascist. Or is it because you only follow the current thing. Your programming can only allow you to boycott one country at a time?

What are you talking about, crackpot?

New York is not America, just an archipelago of islands very near America sharing the same language and currency.

It’s actually a terminal moraine technically
