The psychology of Steelers fans is seldom grasped by non-Pittsburghers.
See, Pittsburgh is basically a portrait of late-capitalist decline in America. It is a wasteland of faded glory, dreary landscapes and general irrelevancy. There is literally no joy here and thus everyone puts what enthusiasm they have toward a football team. It's all they have, and the entire team could be baby murdering rapists and they wouldn't care.
You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022

Yes
This is also arguably the reason why anyone in the area gives a damn about Wiz Khalifa.
But in all honesty, I've been to Pittsburgh once and it seemed OK. I get hating living there, particularly with the industrial decline going on, but it really wasn't so horrifying. It's just a mid-sized city that used to be an industrial powerhouse.
Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
Actually, I wonder how much my presence in this church costs them, in a purely monetary way. Like, how much does me sitting in this chair, handling their books, junking one of their pamphlets, flushing their toilets and drinking their water cost.

I don't know who either of those people are, but googling the former gives me a pretty funny preamble about a pundit being eternally wrong, ending with a punchline about gnosticism.

"The respected American political commentator Bill Kristol is consistently wrong about things, and it’s funny, until you start seeing dead bodies on your lawn. This week, he predicted that Marco Rubio would win the New Hampshire Republican primary. He did not. Last year, he predicted that Joe Biden would be seeking his party’s nomination for President. He would not. Ten years ago, in the run-up to the 2008 Democratic race, he predicted that Barack Obama would lose in every single state. He did not. During the scheduled pregame session for the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Kristol predicted that American forces would be welcomed as liberators. They were not. (Later he added that the war would ‘clarify who was right and who was wrong about weapons of mass destruction.’ It did, but only in the same way that Croesus’s invasion of Persia resulted in a stunning military success.) In 1998, he predicted that ‘a year from now, Clinton will be gone.’ He was not. In 1993, he predicted that that year would be the ‘high-water mark’ of the gay rights movement, which would afterwards collapse. It did not. In 1914, he advised the Tsar of Russia that war against Austria-Hungary would unite the population and smother any internal strife. It did not. In 1202, he predicted that the departing Crusaders would conquer Jerusalem within the year. They did not. Fourteen billion years ago, he whispered in the ear of the lion-headed snake-demon Ialdaboath, and predicted that the creation of the Universe would be ‘if nothing else, a vast improvement on current conditions.’ It was not."

The beef taboo, known as niú jiè (牛戒), has historically been an important dietary restriction in Ancient China, particularly among the Han Chinese, as oxen and buffalo (bovines) are useful in farming and are respected.[42][43] During the Zhou Dynasty, they were not often eaten, even by emperors.[44] Some emperors banned killing cows.[45][46] Beef is not recommended in Chinese medicine, as it is considered a hot food and is thought to disrupt the body's internal balance.[47]
Occasionally, some cows seen weeping before slaughter are often released to temples nearby.[50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72]

I feel like if Happy Tree Friends had come along a decade later than it did, it would be one of those things that half of Tumblr adores and half of Tumblr hates with a burning passion.
