Love GWS, hate Discord. If we all jump ship to the Bread and Roses thing people have been mentioning then the GWS subforum could have some sort of bread pun. Or whatever other forum everyone settles on is fine. I just very much want Discord to not be the only GWS thing because, again, gently caress Discord.

If this forum dies, I had to quote my favorite contribution ever to GWS which just happens to be a pr0k's mom joke.

Dear god. But yeah if this ends up moving to BnR, lemme know. I already discord with one of the admins and she's cool. Should we need some subforum name or banner shenanigans.

I'm just a lurker dude who hasn't even been lurking around here lately, but you people are all pretty great. GWS was what got me to buy a SA account and I've learned so much from all of you even if I don't cook well anywhere near enough. Just browsing at the front page and BnR isn't going to be for me (talking about the anti-capitalism stuff, not the anti-racism/anti-neo-nazis/support-LGBT+ stuff). Whether there's a solution here, you move there, or somewhere else I hope you take care. Mr_Roke fucked around with this message at 16:17 on Jun 25, 2020 |

I like to think this announcement in the sticky is about you  https://forums.somethingawful.com/announcement.php?forumid=1 quote:There have been a lot of questions about offsites and donations for offsites and the future of the forums and what's going to happen to all my shitposts about Guy Fieri and that sort of thing. The short answer is we do not have anywhere for that sort of thing to go at the moment. Yeah the secrecy sucks and is frustrating to everyone, but there should be a solid announcement within a day or so.

A few months ago I saw a variety pack of meats from Olympia Provisions on sale at Woot and pulled the trigger. I'd seen some of their operation when Brad Leone from Bon Appetit visited them to learn to make sausage and figured I'd try their wares. It came with a dry salami, chorizo rioja, small cured ham, hot dogs, kielbasa, and bratwurst. I froze everything but the salamis as my wife's not super into that stuff and I try not to indulge too much, but I've been snacking on them the past week and they are just the best salamis I've ever had. It's honestly like I've never eaten a good dried, cured sausage before. The amount of flavor in just one small slice of each is just incredible. I find myself slicing off little bits even when I'm not hungry and just letting the fat dissolve on my tongue. I can only hope the rest of the stuff I froze is as high-quality. The pack wasn't cheap, but I already know I got my money's worth. Also, this is not a paid advertisement, I swear. I just needed to tell someone about how drat good this stuff is.

Salami style charcuterie doesn't give enough love ( I know it gets a lot already, but yo. this stuff is really good)

It came with a dry salami, chorizo rioja, small cured ham, hot dogs, kielbasa, and bratwurst. I went to Olympia Provisions for brunch when I was visiting a friend in Portland. It was the best meal I had there. They do amazing charcuterie (including a stellar, tiny nduja meat pie served hot), but the hero of the plate was the huge variety of pickles. I ordered a Bloody Mary and it came with an entire skewer full of different pickled things - asparagus, radish, pearl onion, green bean, two kinds of cucumber, whole brussels sprout, etc. Each one had a different flavor profile and was perfect in its own way. I asked the bartender if the radishes were fermented or vinegar pickled and she said, "Let me go as our Pickle Master." Yeah, they have a Pickle Master. And he answers questions. And he does fantastic work. So basically what I'm saying is Olympia is awesome, charcuterie is awesome, pickles are awesome, and I want to travel so loving badly right now.

Olympia, I for whatever reason have never liked their wares, though I’m always trying new things. I guess I have to start making my own fermented meat products to be truly happy.

But more of a holy poo poo we're in the middle of a forum-wide discussion about domestic abuse and here I am making I hosed your Mom jokes. I don't want to be that guy. But she likes it! I was just writing in CineD about your excellent film posts.

Hey SubG I think that’s a very reasonable and welcome take on it; at some point we have to retire even the most storied of jokes when it’s obvious they punch down- see “dead g*ay forum” and the end of FYAD.

I don’t agree. Pr0k’s mom jokes aren’t punching down. I believe that he even told her about them and she was amused. And by this stage the joke is so far removed from a reference to a real person that it’s more of an abstract reference than anything else.

Sure, context is everything, but what about the people who haven’t been posting here for a decade or more who are seeing grossly misogynistic humor propagated and tolerated by the old guard?

Read the sticky by Jeffrey from YOSPOS yeah we just talked about this like five posts up. i'm not convinced of anything until / unless contracts are signed. even then....eh. all the stuff that's coming out about mods enabling and covering up abuse - when i read SA i definitely stuck mostly to bookmarks so i didn't know about any of this poo poo - there needs to be at least some kind of restructuring, i think, for a lot of people to feel comfortable sticking around.

bob dobbs is dead posted:they whacked burt sexual, dunno if / when they're whacking renee ish, he should be perma'd and also he's still listed as a mod last i checked. obv things are a bit in flux at the moment, so we'll see if this goes any further, but he's not the only one who's made some sketchy decisions. also as has been mentioned in the thread in gbs a few times now, the idea that mod sass is probatable or worse, depending, is one of the worst administrative things about this entire forum. it's absurd, since it stifles necessary criticism (i'm sorry, i will forever maintain whirled peas as one of the worst things to happen to gws).
