You know, if they were talking a player named that, someone could have reported it, and this comment could have just been the straw that broke the camel's back to get the ban.

He's right though.

Mac & cheese really is unimpressive. Spaghetti Carbonara is way better, even with inaccurate ingredients (e.g. using bacon instead of guanciale or even pancetta).

Though if you do insist on making it 'Murican style, try melting the cheese into a bechamel sauce and adding some diced ham or cubed bacon. The former makes it way creamier, even if it ends up standing for a while, and the latter just adds some neat flavour and texture. Stick with ham and/or bacon, or maybe very few other things, otherwise it stops being mac & cheese imo.

I saw a story once of someone who asked internet strangers whether they were the asshole because they hated someone's mac & cheese. When they described what went into the stuff, it was full of added things, a quarter of which would already stop it from being mac & cheese, and half of which either conflict with each other, or are stuff which if they were the sole additive would give me a reason to nope out of the dish.

With both mac & cheese and spaghetti carbonara, I'd say less is more.

Max and cheese has two ingredients. Good, quality cheese melted into fresh macaroni.

I challenge anyone to dislike that, with a good fresh salad (I like a chopped salad with a drizzle of oil and balsamic with a sprinkle of salt). The great thing is - there's a cheese for everyone (except lactose intolerant, and what a shame for them) so this works on so many levels.

I had always disabled chat in RL. Nothing good really ever came through it.

There's too much toxicity in RL these days.

Well deserved.

I find that context is everything... so it depends where they were eating it from.
