It was so funny. One dude made a post all 'Oh I see FREE THOUGHT is not ACCEPTED here, well I am leaving forever, GOODBYE' and then reported other people for being mean to him after that, so we banned him

I don't know if anyone else remembers but when lowtax offed himself, a bunch of people who hadn't posted in decades came back and they were also like that.

Yeah and the terrible transphobic rambling started with a very unsettling "Oh joy, politics. :) I love talking about this" or something, like someone had been tricked into letting them reveal their power level

Yeah, a bunch of people came back and posted and were genuinely surprised that SA wasn't what it was 15 years ago, while the rest of us (or at least me) were surprised that absolutely none of those people had grown up at all. They still think and post like people from 2004.

I wanna sing one for the cars

I've been told that Goldbelly's business model is really designed for corporate gifting, where local food is a quirky fun gift to clients and it's all going on an expense account anyway, but that only makes the cookies funnier IMHO

Well, if you assume Lowtax actually liked them and wasn't just trying to screw his family out of child support via frivolous spending

yeah, that or stuff like ordering a bunch of bake-at-home deep dish pizzas for your friend who left Chicago

during covid my company sent us stuff from goldbelly a couple times but we used to do a bunch of morale events like picnics/thanksgiving/chili cookoff/etc and so they spent the budget on that. Logistically it's way easier to use a company like that than to make a bunch of individual orders.

One time they sent us hot chicken from some place in nashville and it was like 4 full chickens, half a gallon of mac and cheese, etc. that poo poo lasted a while

sometime after the goldbelly cookie thing my relative in US told us in the chatgroup that she was surprising her husband for their wedding anniversary with a goldbelly cheesecake flown all the way from philly and i'm like, noooooooo, oh god nooooooo, and quietly messaged her she should temper her expectations.

a few days later she posted pictures of their anniversary meal sans the flown-in cheesecake and then she privately messaged me, you were right

I'm not gonna lie it felt good just to be able to tell a couple of those fucks to get out. Like here in the UK we have a horrendous transphobia problem in the media and I'm so used to seeing the Reasonable Discussions that boil my blood. It was nice to be able to just say no, we're not having that discussion here, it's not up for debate, gently caress off. 'oh so I'm not allowed to voice my opinion here?' no you aren't, gently caress off
