Out of curiosity, why put the 10 commandments before the words of Jesus? I dig the general point you're making but that caught my eye.

Nah, that's not a plot hole. That's just a seed for the Act 3 twist we're due in about 2 years. When the Vatican incorporates and invades Yugoslavia.

The Space Race ended without closing ceremonies.

Salty but also kind of fresh. It's not super fishy but still clearly tastes of the ocean. The texture is a lot of fun in your mouth. And seriously, it's a perfect pizza topping. People give me looks when I tell them this story purely because of the "Papa John's" qualifier. But if you just consider flavor profiles, of course they go well together lol.

Maybe when he was still CEO 😂

Ok, so not exactly. The tin was split evenly amongst the 5 members of my family. I used my portion as a pizza topping. My brothers did crackers and cheese. I don't recall what my parents did. They probably put it in the fridge for later and forgot it.

Ah, now I will admit to there having been a potential nuance. I certainly would want a trial before an execution, for instance. But I also think it would be wrong to assume these scientists were completely morally innocent. Maybe I could be persuaded from my earlier opinion of "You always shoot a Nazi" but there needs to be something to show. A diary entry saying "I'm not sure about this Hitler fella." Something.

To be frank, it would be hard to siphon out truth from fiction at this point from personal accounts. That said, of course I distinguish between a forced Nazi accomplice and a sympathizer. I am not suggesting that they should be treated the same. I am suggesting that the U.S. was so zealous in its efforts to defeat the Russians that it wasn't making distinctions.

I apologize if I'm misreading. Are you suggesting that it would be wrong to shoot a Nazi?

I once used $1k caviar as a topping for a Papa John's pizza. It was delicious.

Promising a deal that includes citizenship, a house, a salary, and an administrative position to a Nazi scientist in exchange for their work and knowledge such that one's country can gain ground in a cold war is absolutely fine. It's absolutely totally fine.

Following through with the deal after getting the goods from the Nazi is not. Shoot the Nazi. You always shoot the Nazi.

For adults, it's under-diagnosed. Because some of the most common prescriptions for it are stimulants like Adderall, there is a fear that adults are trying to scam the doctor. Additionally, and imo even more infuriatingly, doctors are apprehensive about diagnosing an adult because "you made it this far in life without needing help. You can't be ADHD/autistic/neurodivergent." Fuck that mentality. I'm ADHD and autistic and I don't need a doctor to validate me when they can't even agree amongst themselves half the time.
