Problem with that is the Steamed Pea sales devalue the value of food pretty badly

I once paid almost $1000 for a dinner for two. But to be fair about half of that was wine and drinks.

My worst on food alone was the tasting menu at Robuchon at the mgm grand which at the time was like $280, but is now way more I heard. It was good. I've had spendier meals but not where I paid.

I still think Fleur de Lys was my favorite, even when it was starting to flag. I just think it got a black eye for being passé but drat it was good.

Skyline is an acquired taste like coffee or alcohol. It's pretty rare to meet someone who likes it the first time they have it but once you've had it a couple times it just starts to hit the spot.

Isn't it also because the smilie was bought in a thread about some doofus's French Revolution strategy RPG, also named Thermidor? IIRC this was also a pretty good saga, in that said doofus registered to promote their game in Games, it got clowned on at length, and the OP kept trying to close the thread only for a mod to reopen it every time.

This is unironically how I remember the name for the smiley. It looks like it could be one of those fancy cigar cutter things and thermidors are cigar related. My fingers want to add an 'e' to the end of the word like a raver trying to get one more e in before the warehouse gets raided.

This seems like such an unlikely circumstance. To think that all guillotine memes may have come from such a random unimportant games conversation where the image was briefly relevant. It almost didn't permanently influence the spread of revolutionary thought around the globe.

Get bashed, platonist!

So this happened:

https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3907737

BENGHAZI 2 was given a month probation by Beer4TheBeerGod that was clearly unwarranted. It was lowered to a 2 week probation, which was also unwarranted. What followed was some truly pathetic attempts at deflection, from “too many words lol” to “Beer4theBeerGod’s comments are fine because one trans person said it was okay” to “BENGHAZI 2 deserves a long probation due to an extensive history of *cough*mumblemumble*cough*” Oh, and as always there are a handful of people who are strangely intent on dismissing any and all mod criticism on the basis that this is an internet forum so :shrug:

Finally, Party Plane Jones reversed BENGHAZI 2’s probation and gave themselves 2 weeks instead, in a move that was framed as being some sort of penance, somehow, but also conveniently absolved them of having to respond to any more criticism. Then fool_of_sound closed the thread after emptyquoting Beer4TheBeerGod apologizing for his mistake and promising to learn from it and do better, which was pretty much identical to the last time he apologized for a big fuckup and promised to do better.

What I found really astounding about this was how fool_of_sound, and later Party Plane Jones, managed to make things so much worse. The thread started as a simple request to undo a probation, and ended with at least 20 people calling for the resignation of two moderators, entirely off the back of how hard they faceplanted their reaction to this.

Anyway, this is all more complex than my post makes it out to be and seems to be related to a history of issues with these mods that I am not completely familiar with. I hope they reopen QCS soon so this stuff doesn’t pass by unnoticed due to being in whatever subforum.

The probation was for mod sass which is one of the stupidest and most cop-like rules here. Mods and admins and cops should never ever have final ultimate authority.

We have a standard that reposting things like that is doxxing, that's what kicked this off and I maintain that's a fair standard.
