It was kind of the default in my family growing up. And the pizza there was new York style, thin crust.

Since then I’ve gotten more in the habit of toppings and only occasionally get a simple cheese. A really well made cheese pizza is thing of beauty, there is a certain quality you get from it that is lost when you as toppings. The thing is, though, it has to be just right, and lots of places that make a good pizza with toppings don’t know how to make a really good cheese pizza, so to be worth ordering one, it has to be from the right place, made on a good night. IMO its got to be a thin ny style crust with a really good sauce.

Funerals, among other things, are an event that reminds us that there are things more important than the petty shit we squabble about and hold against one another. Whatever flaws we all have, we are all human, we are all going to die someday, and we are all going to lose those we love if we don’t die first. It’s a time to set all that petty shit aside and remember that.

Everything has changed except human nature.

Your example shows how far cultural norms have shifted. Reading a paper around others is anti social in a culture where you are expected to interact with and give others your attention.

Each generation may react the same way to the new behaviors of the next generation, but that does mean those new behaviors do not form a consistent trend representing real change in the culture. In this case that trend is increasing individualism and weakening of community norms.
