Pizza is my 'bad' food. The food where I'll eat it, any type and topping, from any store, no matter what I'm trying to do diet wise. If pizza is put in front of me, it's getting eaten.
There's a place for a dirty, salty Dominos pizza. It's never my first choice, and I feel like garbage the next day, but I'll eat it.
I usually only get hells for pizza, but that's because it's the only place open near my LGS on nights when I finish Magic. It's gotten to the point that when we go in there, the guy working the counter on that night just looks at who has come in, and recites our order back to us, which is probably a problem. However, their vege pizzas are good - though there is actually nothing wrong with the Domino's vege options either, for their price they're actually pretty good.
Sal's, on the other hand, I detest, because every time I've gone there it's been more of a grease slick than a pizza

Sals is closer to nostalgia for me.
but also because they actually have a default mushroom pizza. Just cheese and mushroom and I don't need to pay super duper extra, or go into the fancy "create my own" it's just there.
and their veggie pizza isn't covered in a mass amount of onions. it's just mushrooms and capsicum.

When you say "any type and topping", do you really mean that or do you mean "any pizza available in australia or NZ"? Because your average Swedish pizza place has stuff like Chicken&banana pizza, Hawaiian (with pineapple) or Pizza black&white (fillet of beef and bearnaise). And the kebab pizza (pizza dough, kebab toppings) isn't even considered odd. And that's just the standard stuff you can find all over Sweden. On a local level it gets way way weirder.

One of my favourite pizzas is Hawaiian (and I'm always irritated when the missus and I split a supreme and she gets it without pineapple), and I've had and thoroughly enjoyed a kebab topping pizza.
I have yet to meet a pizza I won't eat and enjoy.
Best times at work is when they do pizza day and there's a bunch of leftover pizzas people didn't want to touch. Just a massive buffet of new pizzas to try.

Chicken and Banana - not sure how banana holds up under a pizza heat, would at least be curious to try it.
Hawaiian with Pineapple - sadly, a boring standard here.
Fillet of beef and bernaise - ok, you had my curiosity, but now you have my attention.
Kebab pizza - give it to me, NOW! *grasping hands*
Ok. This is a curated selection of Swedens oddest pizzas (all pizzas include cheese&tomatosauce unless otherwise specified).
From the town of;
Leksand. Pizza la Duck; Duck, chanterelles, black currant, honey
Norsjö. Lappland; Renskav (thinly sliced smoked reindeer meat), portabello mushrooms and lingonberries.
Umeå. Rödingpizza; Röding (Char, fish), chanterelles, bearnaise, finely chopped egg and red onions.
BE WARNED! ONLY MADNESS LIES BEYOND THIS POINT
Skellefteå. Carlskrofe; hamburger, fries and sallad baked into a calzone filled with cheese. No tomatosauce.
Ängelholm. Tamara Special; Icecream, pineapple and chocolate sauce. No tomato or cheese.
Forshaga. Pizzaghetti; spaghetti, garlic yoghurt and onion calzone.

Not a huge fan of mushrooms, but will still eat them as long as they're ancilliary.
Would at least try each of those if offered, and would happily order 1-4 (depending on the components in 4), though how the hell does the Tamara Special work? That's insane. But as long as it's an "after pizza, pizza", I'd definitely give it a shot.
Locally, one of my stores offers Lemon Meringue Pizza, Marshmallow Heaven Pizza, Berry Cannoli Pizza, and Nutella Caramella Pizza, (also a version of the Forshaga in a regular pizza format) so a dessert pizza isn't impossible to get here.

My favourite Hell pizza is the Purgatory (Mushrooms, Sundried Tomatoes, Fresh Spinach, Feta, Onions and Garlic. Optional Kalamata Olives). You can also add chorizo for free, which means it's no longer vegetarian, but you now get to eat chorizo.
There used to be a number of things I used to try and get when visiting family in New Zealand.
Hell Pizza Grimm - Chicken, apricot sauce, pine nuts, spring onions, cream cheese & rosemary.
Meal Mates - Vegetarian for preference.
Big 'Uns - Sadly apparently discontinued?
Also Ginger Tom from Dux de Lux pre-Christchurch earthquake - I've only had occasion to go down that way twice since the earthquake, so it's dropped off my list.
None of these are on the list because they're "Good" it's more that they're a particular taste that I've never encountered anywhere else, so they've become "New Zealand Food" in my head.
Murder
Section 302 sets out the circumstances which a person who unlawfully kills will be guilty of murder.
- If the offender intends to kill or cause grievous bodily harm to the person killed or some other person;
- If the death is caused by means of an act done in the prosecution of an unlawful purpose and the act is of a nature likely to endanger human life;
- If the offender intends to do grievous bodily harm to some person for the purpose of facilitating the commission of a crime or for the purpose of facilitating the flight of an offender who has committed or attempted to commit such a crime. The crime must be such that the offender may be arrested without warrant;
- If death is caused by administering any stupefying or overpowering thing for either of the purposes mentioned in paragraph (3);
- If death is caused by wilfully stopping the breath of any person for either of the listed purposes.
Yeah, it stops being manslaughter once you keep stabbing well into the double digits, let alone resorting to other means to complete the act. If this wasn't murder, then the definition needs to be changed.
Yeah, I'm getting more and more done with "society", if this is where we're at.

Tonight's pizza was sourced from Pizzeria Napoli, for that authentic Italian wood-fired taste.
It was even political pizza, on account of my wife likes to go visit the owner to keep an open dialogue with hospo regarding the Wellington public transport infrastructure plan. He's well connected to the pulse of Courtenay place.
The Nationals seem to be having some internal debates about actually moving toward some kind of climate change/energy transition stance. However much we wish it weren't so, these guys are clearly influential in Australia's (lack of) political momentum on climate change so word of dissent in their ranks is something to note.
I don't know where he got the scorpions, or how he got them into my mattress.
The Nationals are looking at their polling figures, thinking "hm maybe we have a problem" and will soon reach the new cycle where they realize "oh wait, we don't" because National's voters are never in any danger of not voting Nationals. Except if they might vote Clive Palmer.
Woof. So we're opening up on the 15th of October here in the ACT, citing that's when we'll be at 80% vaccinated. Not fully, still some restrictions, but by and large that'll be the case. Kids not back at school until a bit later.
Wonder how this is going to play out - 80% vaccinated is still nearly 100,000 folks not vaccinated just here in Canberra, it could get ugly quick.
...
I'm booked for my second AZ shot on the 8th.
That's only 7 weeks after my first, and is probably when I'd have first been able to get the second Pfizer, assuming I hadn't hammered the booking website incessantly to get an earlier appointment.
So many kids and young adults are going to catch this because they haven't had the opportunity to get a vaccine.

Also, isn't it 2-3 weeks after the second before full protection kicks in?
Watching the numbers, it's been going up at about 1% a day. Which means when it hits 80% vaccinated, it's only 60-65% fully protected.
Definitely could get ugly quick.
But gotta rush towards that grand opening! People need their socializing!

No.
Doherty clarified that their 80% target was when 80% had had their second shot, not when 80% are fully protected 3 weeks later.
I also have to wonder what the demographics do to the situation.
Because I would think young adults and kids have more interactions with each other than older adults.
And yet, we've vaccinated more of the latter, making it more likely the disease spreads faster at the 80% overall, compared to other vaccination schedules.
Presumably putting less strain on the hospitals still, even if more people catch it
Eh.
Daily Mail is saying you should punish people who can't get vaccinated forever, otherwise what was the point of getting jabbed at all.
ABC is asking why Gladys is not following her own health advice.
The ACT is, for instance, not mandating vaccination passports because we think it's unnecessary to bifurcate the community for a period of a couple of weeks while the immunisation rate increases.
So it's unclear from the article why the longer lockdown on unvaccinated people is necessary, and whether it could have been done by moving restrictions back across the community all at once, but maybe slower.
Yes, but also no.
There is a position we might not reach where everyone who can be vaccinated has been vaccinated.
And then it's, do you let kids and immunocompromised people back into higher risk settings?
Obviously yes.
DailyMail is obviously no, we don't need slackers mooching off herd immunity.

In 30 minutes Gladys is expected to make a significant announcement about the ICAC she was involved in.
Speculation is she might be on the verge of resigning. My guess? She just says it’s a load of nonsense because since whee we b have Liberals ever actually done the right thing?
I'm genuinely surprised by this - I expected the investigation to turn up blatant corruption, and it to just never result in any actual consequences. Though, that being said, does resigning mean she's now off the hook for the investigation?
Shame she didn't resign when it all first came out, would have saved a lot of lives.
NSW ICAC has amassed quite the collection of scalps over the years, I am completely unshocked by the bipartisan agreement between Labour and the Coalition on not establishing one at the federal level.
While I'm glad to see her go (her delaying on lockdowns cost a shitload on a health and economic scale), I do wonder if she'd been a man, whether the Liberal party would have closed ranks.

She’ll still be investigated, but she has increased her chances of getting off lightly by resigning.
