Being prepared for anything is why she lasted until she was 96 years old.
Everybody needs a goal to aim for, so I make sure to keep well away from reaching it so as not to lose it as a goal.
If it's homemade (including the sauce) on thin crust of proper bread dough (again, homemade, without adding too much salt) and you're generous and careful with the toppings (avoiding salty and/or highly processed stuff), the only inherently imbalanced thing is the cheese (which is excessive for something with such a high proportion of saturated fats).
Even the carbs in the pizza base if you go for thin crust are actually less than, for example, in a sandwish.
Then again, homemade pizza done from scratch including the sauce and the bread dough takes more than an hour to make, so people overwhelmingly buy pizza already make (or at least ready to bake), and then it's loaded crap because you really can't trust industrial food.
Also even for homemade there is a tendency to add as toppings tasty stuff like pepperoni, which is industrially made for example for preservation it's loaded with either nitrites (which increases the risk of colon cancer) or salt (which increases the risk of cardio-vascular problems)
Lots of saturated fat on the cheese.
Beyond that with tin crust, homemade pizza tomato sauce (which is delish, by the way) and properly chosen and generously added toppings (avoid processed meats, especially with too much salt, and make the toppings be more by weight than everything else), it can be pretty healthy.
In the same spirit: "I'm a 2nd degree vegetarian because I only eat meat from herbivores"
This is something I wasn't aware of, so thanks for the info.
There are also some other ways to work around Steam DRM, such as the Goldberg Emulator (basically a steam_api DLL which for steam client games emulates the Steam servers).
It's just all so unreliable and an unecessary hassle when it does work, because of something which only benefits Steam and causes a product to be inferior for the customer.
If Steam made available offline installers with no DRM, clearly stated on the store page even if alongside stuff with DRM and/or no offline installers, I would be buying way more from them than I do.
Even with the whole "so far, so good" soft thouch approach under Gabe's leadership that does not leverage market power over developers to force use of Steam's DRM and lets us as customers have all sorts of ways to work around Steam DRM when games do have it, we're all just having to pray that the guy keeps eating his veggies, avoids saturated fats and walks at least half an hour a day so as to reduce the risk of dying from a heart attack, and always looks both ways when crossing the road so as not to be run over, because when the guy goes the "benevolent regime" might very well be replaced by a malevolent one (as has happened in lots of good companies) and people's game collections in Steam will be hostages to it because of the way things are set-up (since the first thing a "malevolent regime" would do is push updates closing all the loopholes).
Well, people who are slavishly obedient to "handlers" no matter what, shouldn't be surprised to be seen and treated like dogs by said "handlers".
IMHO, one should never deliver blind trust and/or obedience to people you don't personally know well for a long time, especially not to salesmen types (which is what politicians are), no matter how famous and how many other people you see delivering blind trust and obedience to them.
Neoliberals are hard-right, IMHO.
Think about it: the whole point of privatisation, reducing regulation, small government and so on is to reduce the power of the one entity - the State - which is (supposedly) controlled voters via votes which are (supposedly) of equal weight for all, and make it be below the power of Money which is controlled by a "voting" system were some have literally trillions of times the weight in chosing what happens than others.
In other words, Neoliberals are against Democracy, same as Fascists.
Steam purposefully pushed and pushes for there to be unecessary hurdles in installing and running the games customers buy from them, which do not benefit their customers but do benefit Steam, and which did not exist in most games before Steam ("offline" installers was the default way to install games until the Steam Store).
They don't do it in a nasty way that tries hard to stop people from finding workarounds to that, so some customers will then find hacks to work around such obstacles, and hacks by definition are not supported and in this case do not work reliably for all games.
Steam not tightenning it down as much as they can and thus there being ways around it for some games, doesn't make it any less true that Steam has a policy of trying to get the games that they sell to have an unecessary reduction of customer freedom that does not deliver anything to the customer, and that they don't disclose which games do and which don't so that the customer can't easilly make an informed decision on that factor.
(Compare it to how GOG does make available GOG Galaxy which will does deliver the same core positive features as the Steam App, such as automated updating, but doesn't actually force customers to use it at all for any game. Personally I installed the thing once, looked around, uninstalled it and went back to downloading installers)
My problem is with that policy of trying to limiting the freedom to use the product, for Steam's benefit and in a way that doesn't benefit customers in any way form or shape, even if it's done via the soft sales push to developers/publishers rather than leveraging their dominant market position as a game store to force it on developers/publishers, together with some purposeful obfuscation in the games listings so that customers when buying don't just start favoring games not crippled with those freedom limitations.
No matter how Steam makes it happen, ultimatelly what customers get from Steam is "likely crippled, might be able to hack my way around it for some but I don't know which" games., which compares negativelly with GOG who have a policy for all games of being "guaranteed not crippled in this way or similar".
It makes total sense that this then reflects on whether as a customer I'm willing to buy or not a game from Steam and even in being willing to pay a bit more for a game which is guaranteed to not come purposefully crippled in the way most Steam games are.
"There's an easy undocumented workaround that works for some games" doesn't really alter the reality that Steam is purposefully set up to keep customers tied to Steam for things where there is no need for customers to be tied to Steam. Steam could've moved towards a model like GOG were customers use their app simply because it's convenient, nice and delivers desired features rather than because they have no other option than use it, but Steam haven't moved to that model.
Mind you, I'm not saying that people shouldn't buy from Steam, I'm saying that they should be well aware that Steam is trying to sell them products which have had some features purposefully crippled for Steam's benefit and to force customers to use the Steam App, and if knowing this those people are still fine with it, then it's their choice.
Some years ago I concluded that in my own value framework, Hypocrisy was one of the greatest sins, just short of things like purposefully harming others for fun.
So yeah, an honest greedy fucker who doesn't hide they don't give a rat's arse about who they harm and how badly in the pursuit of their personal upside maximization is actually a better person (more precisely, a less bad person) than an hypocrite greedy fuck who won't give a rat's arse about who they harm and how badly in the pursuit of their personal upside maximization but try and pass themselves as caring and nice.
You see, they're both doing nasty things to others for personal gain, but the latter is poisoning the well of trust and by hiding their true nature manages to do far more harm than the former before people catch on to it and stop it.
Further, as far as I know there is no positive reason to use hypocrisy: it's only ever used to hide evil intent.
I suspect that alll in all hypocrites do a lot more harm to others than people who are just openly selfish.
That said, in the US Republicans too are hypocrites - notice how they promised all sorts of good things to people like farmers and then did the opposite.
Hypocrisy seems to be a general problem of big party politics.
Are you saying that from the Steam Store you can download an offline installer?
Or is it a not officially supported process that some users figured out, involving running Steam on the work PC, installing the game there, copying the installation files over (or maybe the installer itself from the Steam cache) to the home PC and then runninb Steam there, online to verify/execute the installation.
Because if it is the latter, I don't think it qualifies as "the same thing" as what I described I did with GOG. That's more of an undocumented hack than an actual store feature.
I don't know which part of Europe (maybe Britain?) you're thinking of, but in most countries I lived in around here most of the Democrats are too far into deregulamentation, small government and anti-unions to be in the "center" part of the rightwing by local standards.
This without going into the whole "Neoliberalism is actually a political philosophy of trying to make the power of the state - which is one which in Democracy people control via a vote of equal weight for all people - be below the power of Money - which is not controled by an equal vote at all, but rather by an insanelly unequal system base on how much money each person has (so some people have billions of times more power than others) - in most maters, hence is anti-Democracy" part of it which means the present day US Democrats are actually more authoritarian than democratic, they just hide it with a technocratic discourse which misuses Economics.
