Wow, you're kind of a dick. Next time try constructive criticism instead of sperging out about how a chef once made you cry over burned mushrooms.

Y'all really need to click that and read the whole thread (it's barely over one page). It's also has some links to Mage's greatest hits. The tl;dr is:

Goon in culinary school enters a contest, posts the dish, and respectfully asks GWS's opinion. GWS regulars offer genuine constructive crit. Then Mage swans in, brags about having gone to culinary school, makes that huge effortpost (EorayMel didn't even quote the whole thing), and appropriately gets dunked on.

My favorite reply was Mr. Wiggles's very succinct


(also, if you know anything about cooking, Mage is totally talking out her rear end, or maybe the rear end of the high horse she comes riding in on. "possibly undeglazed wine", lol)

i think one of the reasons people are more tolerant of lack of capitals or punctuation is because of texting and stuff like discord
if you just put every sentence on a new line it works fine
putting caps in on some devices could be kind of a pain so people just didn't
it became a habit and kind of stuck
plus "enter" often made a new line so the written english language is actually shifting in pretty interesting ways
see this reads just fine

that being said it still drives me insane when people use u instead of you
don't do that it makes you look stupid

They type like this

oh okay, good. i'm not a fancy chef at all but i have an idea in my head of what deglazing is and that line was really confusing

JacquelineDempsey posted:

Yeah, you probably got it right Sagebrush, deglazing is when you brown something like meat or onions, remove that, then use a liquid like stock or wine to scrape and dissolve all that brown sticky goodness (the fond) off the bottom of the pot to make a sauce. Calling it "undeglazed wine" is like... poo poo, I dunno, if you were gonna make beer-battered onion rings and said you added "unbattered beer" to the flour.

If you read the original post, she starts her rant against the OP's dish with "As someone whose 'done le cordon bleu thing' ", then goes on to that prove she learned nothing. For all our rep elsewhere on the forums for being picky food snobs, I'm really sad GWS didn't dunk her harder. OP came in looking for an honest crit, and Mage just comes kramering in out of nowhere and scared them off.

in 2006 drunkposting and highposting were bannable for the same reasons you had to use complete sentences and such

When those rules were in force, the internet was a mess of idiots typing in leet speak using zero punctuation. It was about being marginally less stupid than the rest of the internet. As the web got flooded with "normal" people who type like human beings this ceased to be a distinguishing factor, so suddenly everybody just coincidentally decided the rules were dumb all along.

this is, oddly enough, plausible

all things considered, it's a whole lot more likely that he is doing horrible racist bullshit because it gets him attention and he's a massive, massive attention whore, than because he's some kind of true believer in the white nationalist cause. it doesn't make him any less awful or deserving of mockery (he's absolutely both) but... dude's the most vapid motherfucker of all time, do y'all honestly think he somehow actually has coherent political opinions and isn't just shouting horrible bullshit to make people look at him?

Screaming Idiot posted:

Nazism, white nationalism, and fascism aren't coherent political ideologies. They absolutely are for vapid dumbasses like Pewdiepie. Vapid dumbass is the target audience for Nazis.

i think you're misreading me a touch, but it's kind of hard for me to explain properly; i think he's closer to Trump himself than he is to your average magachud. i genuinely think it's impossible for him to be a true believer in any cause or ideology, because the one goal he is capable of having is "make more people pay attention to PewDiePie."

i'm not really that much of a psych person so i might be off-base here, but i think what i'm describing here is the intersection of low intelligence and sociopathic tendencies (if not outright APD). it's not just that he's dumb, and it's not just that he's self-obsessed; it's that everything else he does is in service of that self-obsession, without any forethought unrelated to said self-obsession, to the point where i can't really imagine him actually genuinely believing in anything, good or bad.
