You can call it pie in the sky, but pizza delivery is now a real thing -- at least in the Land Down Under.
Domino's Pizza Enterprises said Wednesday it had completed what it called the world's first delivery of a pizza to a customer in New Zealand. Under the watch of a team of drone experts, the unmanned aerial vehicle used GPS navigation to autonomously deliver Peri-Peri Chicken and Chicken and Cranberry pizzas to a backyard in Whangaparaoa, about 20 miles north of Auckland.
Drones have grown in popularity among big retailers such as Amazon and Walmart, which are continually looking for new ways to get a jump on the competition and attract customers. The small, commercial aerial drones could avoid the delays of terrestrial deliveries by flying above traffic and avoiding circuitous roadways.

I have always thought that "cuck" was short for "regurgitation". Not sure why. Something to do with jmorris, no doubt. The only other possibility is that it is short for "canuck", but the people using the term do not seem to be swinging towards the Great Socialist North. Hoseheads.

It comes from cuckold, meaning a man whose wife is cheating on him. The alt-right uses it because it perfectly hits that combination of hypocrisy, projection, inner insecurity, sexual dominance ritual, and satisfying monosyllabilic-ness. I'll bet you it fires the same parts of the brain swearing does.
The overtone seems to be "you got cheated because you're weak and lack manly virtue and you deserve it...but not me, i'm superior and elite, as evidenced by the fact that i can see you're a cuck." As always with the loonie-fringe right, this is a projection of deeply-held insecurities and fears.

I thought it was more specifically "a man raising the child that isn't his from said wife who cheated on him."
I can't say I'm surprised to see the term used by such people, but I totally agree with you that it says more about the person making the comment than it does the person the comment is directed toward. Of course, if your argument has to resort to insults, you really didn't have much of argument to begin with.

Tell our resident alt-right diva JMorris that. Uzzard's mostly phoning it in and being a troll, but J-Mo there seems to believe every single last word...

I see you go back and forth with them so many times. I do agree that Buzz is likely just trolling you more often than not, but it is kind of enjoyable to watch the trainwreck sometimes, to be honest. :)
Sadly, I do not think there is anything you can say to such a person to get them to change. Any attempt at doing so only seems to reinforce their stance. Interestingly, it's the one trait they share with the polarized extreme left.

Azuma? Please? We are busy here redefining the entire alt-right vocabulary, as part of the SJW Nemesis Project. You coming along with the actual origin of the term is not helping! You are, however, as ever, spot on and absolutely correct. Makes me want to up-cuck.
