I don't care much for pasta. Spaghetti and tricolor are fine, but it never really bursts with flavor. I know it was meant to make do with basic limited ingredients, but I don't see how it became a national dish on par with pizza.
 
I do not know what this thread is. I have not read a single post from it, and I will not read a single post from it. I do not know how I got here, but I have brought with me a mighty evangel:

All science fiction is fake and gay and boring and impossible and literally unpalatable. If you disagree with me, then you are probably a nigger who sucks Star Trek tentacle dick.

It's like potatoes. One of those things that's plain, ancient, you could literally live on it for months in a pinch, and it's cheap, although you can get as fancy and expensive as you like.

It's one of the bases of civilization. It was one of the first ways we could indefinitely store the nutritional value of grain for an indefinite period of time, by drying it, and store it safely to tide us over in winters or famine periods. So humans have been coming up with ways of using it for millennia, and with most pasta dishes, it's the sauce or other topping that is the star of the show, with the pasta itself providing carbs and vitamins.

And it's even perfectly fine by itself or in utterly minimalist dishes like pasta with butter or butter and cheese.

If you have pasta, you have agriculture, and if you have agriculture, you have civilization.

Fire on the Deep. It’s good.
 
I learned that me and pasta just don't get along, I can make small batches but anything bigger than a small bowl just makes me feel like shit.

So if a "Jesus freak" calls someone their brother when they have a long history of acting brotherly towards one another, is that sleazy?

Maybe not in a rare case like that. In general, though, it's done to imply a greater familiarity between two people than actually exists, which can catch vulnerable or naive marks off guard. That situation doesn't exist when the two people involved actually, legitimately have a sibling-like level of closeness, but alarm bells start going off as soon as I hear it from a stranger or casual acquaintance outside of very specific religious settings.

Usually it's been a way to point out our siblingship in Christ during particular events (especially Communion/Mass), not a regular thing. I know some legitimate churches do it, but that would take a lot of getting used to before I would stop feeling like I'd joined a cult.
