It would have ruined my joke to mention, but here in London these days there is actually a lot of pulled pork, burnt ends and such on the menu! My Sunday D&D pub in Borough* does both, and Bodeans diner is very good. However out in the Districts it is still all McDonalds and Burger King AFAIK (as a true Londoner I only venture past the M25 if flying to Edinburgh).

*No wonder the Jihadis attacked Borough, it's the delicious pork cooking centre of London!

Quote from: S'mon;1087223If a lefty-liberal like Motorskills is a KKK-white supremacist in the eyes of RPGnet, I wonder how they regard the more red-blooded posters here? "Worse than Hitler" presumably to start with.

Hopefully it will get him and others who consider this place the worst rpg forum on the Internet. Sadly for some to keep posting art rpg.net we will still viewed as an alt-right forum. If I was Motorskills I would be pissed. All he did was post about someone the mods really hate winning against one of their own. Other than that the ban was not fair at all.

Quote from: kythri;1087226Well, you gotta remember, we're an alt-right forum.

Correction we are an Alt-right fourm when gaming social chameleon such as Haffrung and Larrdisngly have no need of us. While they and others go " This place sucks other rpg forums are better why oh why do we even come here".

When they need us they like us and pretend to act like on of the guys. Again at this point one has to be deliberately clueless to insist we are worse than TBP.

Greetings!

Interesting, my friend! I'm wondering, though, do these BBQ restaurants over there have *real* biscuits? Cornbread, coleslaw, mashed potatoes, BBQ beans, and buttered corn? I'm also partial to Texas style, and such as Jalepeno peppers mixed in with the BBQ beans, and Jalepeno Cheddar Kielbasa sausages, going along with smoked tri-tip, beef brisket. Slathered with *spicy* BBQ sauce. Yeah. Whatever flavour, BBQ cuisine is a special American contribution for sure. Where I'm at in Idaho, BBQ is naturally very popular. I think we tend to embrace more of the Texas/Southwest style BBQ here. I've been to Texas, as well. I have family in Texas. I gotta say, Dayum! Texas knows it's BBQ for sure. Texas has an excellent cuisine, blending classical American dishes, mixed with Southern traditions, as well as BBQ and Mexican cuisine. Spicy hot rice, with Jalepeno peppers, tomatoes, onions--yeah, that's awesome, too. Spicy Mexican rice. It goes great with Mexican food, of course, but also pairs up very nicely with American BBQ, including as a side dish to outdoor favourites like grilled hamburgers and hot dogs, too. There's also room for embracing delicious grilled shrimp, with a lemon-lime and Tequila glaze. Anyhow, all kinds of wonderful foods to eat in Texas!

I know you have lived and traveled extensively in the states, so you know how important all that good stuff is!:D It definitely grows on you. I go a week, maybe two, and I've got to have some fine BBQ! It's definitely a cuisine for carnivores!

Semper Fidelis,

SHARK

There's this great video, I think it's from Asian Boss, of some former North Koreans eating American style BBQ for the first time.  Their preference?  Alabama BBQ.

Ha ha ha ha ha suck it Tennessee!



But back to the subject at hand, I guess Jessica Price has once again opened her Twitter Mouth and started REEEEing at people, still holding up the muh poisoned drink narrative?  Stupid bitch.

AFAICR:

Biscuits - pretty much never. I only had a biscuit here when my ex cooked them.
Cornbread - at Bodeans, yes I think so. Generally rare.
Coleslaw - yes, definitely.
Mash - for some reason mash is quite rare here outside of sausage & mash, eg KFC only does fries, no mash & green beans.
BBQ beans - yes, we eat a lot of baked beans, including with BBQ sauce. We eat them for breakfast!
Buttered corn - well, corn here has always been fridged for transport, so never as good as really fresh corn, but you can get it.

Re Texan food, it was a sad day when the Texas Embassy cantina off Trafalgar Square closed.

   I'm sure they could find something in my posts here that would trigger the Ban of Damocles that was hanging over my head before I left.

I did not see anything that looked like her commenting on this at all. Do you have a link or a screenshot?

Ps - KC BBQ is quite good, my favourite, but I lived there a while.

I'm also wondering if there isn't a legal case that could be dropped on RPG.net in general with this. There's a lot of discussion regarding Facebook's censorship that it needs its protection against libel/slander removed stripped because you can either be a platform (i.e. if you don't control the content, you're not liable for the content) or a provider (if you police/edit content you're a publisher and are liable for the content).

The very fact that they label someone like Motorskills as a KKK-supporter and similarly disparage and lie about people/systems like ACKS coupled with banning of opposing viewpoints actually leaves them open to lawsuits if anyone were so inclined... particularly publishers like Pundit who could claim the attacks have unfairly cost them business.

Given its lack of actual value, nothing would make me happier than The Big Purple having to announce that Pundit now owns them lock, stock and barrel.

Quote from: kythri;1087125This site is so fucking far from being "alt-right" you fucking clown.

Alt-Right = anything right of Chairman Mao.

Give the SJWs another year and Joseph Stalin going on double secret probation for not being Left enough.

I expect THIS is going to become a federal level discussion. I don't think Trump wants to walk into election season with his entire base unable to discuss his campaign on Farcebook, YouTube or Twitter. I expect both Team Red and Team Blue are researching the legalities of Platform vs. Provider right now.

Personally, if your site has an enforced bias (right, left, religious, atheist, wtfbbq) with any "deplatforming", you are a provider.

If that became law, all social media mega-corps would embrace the First Amendment before the next dawn...and I'd be laughing in hysterics for what happens next.

I think part of the problem was that these nuts let a few successes with bullying smaller publishers into towing the SJW mandate overinflate their egos and they thought they could do the same to bigger publishers.

We let the SJWs twist the hobby sideways and we get Flame Wars like never before.

Does anyone realize the kickback that came from a lesbian half-orc in the "Wrath of the Righteous" AP?

Can we just PLAY tabletop roleplaying games and be left alone?

Can I remind you again that many of us older gamers who endured the "Satanic Panic" and saw our books burned (literally) and dealt with the worst aspects of social ostracization NOW, having found our comfort zone within our hobby, are ONCE AGAIN ATTACKED by outsiders calling what we do BADWRONGFUN?

The OSR isn't backing down. We wont divorce ourselves from 5E as it has subtle OSR connections. We wont flee the hobby so the SJWs can claim it as their own.

There were no SJWs in this hobby before and when the dust settles, the old school games who've been here since the late 70's/early 80's will remain.

Remind them that they've picked the wrong fight.

Let's not give Baizuo more credit than they're due.

As you mention, it's outsiders to the hobby that have been allowed in and embraced that are at fault, not some halfwits wearing rose (rainbow?) tinted glasses.

Actually there were a few way back. Complaints would pop up in Dragon now and then for example that would fit right in with today's SJW rhetoric.

Theres allways going to be these moral guardians. The problems start when publishers begin to take them seriously or knuckle under to threats.

Note that it is nigh invariably these types who are the ones who resort to bullying or even violence. Not the people they are attacking.

Unfortunately this isnt so. There are people within the hobby with this mad urge that they have to "clean up the hobby so the mainstream will respect us." and you see nearly the exact same line used in other hobbies and venues. Especially art. But its popped up as an excuse for censoring in board games too.
