They made the right call. Macaroni and cheese is definitely that good.
- Look, some people just can't digest it. As you get older, your ability to process mac'n'cheese without dire intestinal consequences drops off substantially. The pros just simply aren't worth the cons, not by a long shot.
  Doesn't stop me tho
  
  as you get older
  As you get older, you develop taste and stop eating garbage.
  
  Your poor toilet bowl.....
  
  Huh, I didn't know about this. What ingredient(s) cause(s) the problem?
  
  that doesn't make it not good though.
- Not the Mac n cheese for the last like 20+ years. It used to use real cheese and really did taste better. I know the internet got all uppity against kraft a while back, claiming they started making the noodle portion worse somewhere around 2016 or something, but that's nothing compared to the big taste difference that happened when they stopped using real cheese.
  
  Sorry what? You know you can make Mac and cheese from scratch right? It's not too difficult.
  
  Make it yourself, obviously ready made meals are gonna taste bad if they are cheap (which they are)
  
  The thing you're talking about is not Mac and Cheese.

Looks like Rocket League. If so then this would be a highly offensive thing to say. Most of the players in casual are about 10 years old 😂
- The few times I played rocket league, I played casual, and got my ass handed to me.
  Maybe theres a casual mode for casual players. I'm looking forward to losing to a 3 year old. Apperently those 10 year olds are way outta my skill range!
  Oooooh, maybe we can find a player who's just learning their colors! Maybe thats more my speed.
  
  You just gotta stick to it, the rocket league progress curve is incredibly steep at the beginning, but if you just brute force through it for a bit you'll reach the first plateau where you actually manage to touch the ball once in a while. Getting over that plateau is a different story and the progress curve is much slower after that.
  Also go and do the training sets, start with the easiest ones until you nail them then move on to the next one, etc.
  RL is pretty much the only game I still play regularly because I've been playing it for a long time and I can just do one game if I don't have much time, most other games require too much of my very limited free time.
  
  Even in casual mode, you have a (hidden) rank which does go down the more you lose. If you keep getting demolished in the game then I'd recommend doing the training, playing against bots, and/or continuing to play in casual mode until your rank starts placing you with other players you can better contend with.
  There's also a distinct possibility you were against someone smurfing as some people like to do that either for content or just for kicks and giggles. The very lowest ranks are probably where the most egregious smurfs like to keep their ranks, so unfortunately you can have some of the widest swings in actual skill levels.
  Unfortunately the devs don't really seem to care much about the smurfing problem in the game because it's been pretty rampant for a very long time and some of the changes they've made have actually made it even easier to get away with.

I can't understand why Americans love industrialized cheese so much. It's horribly, full of salt. Unbearable!
- I can't understand how non-Americans have gone their entire lives without witnessing macaroni and cheese that exists outside of Kraft.
  
  brother I'm American and I didn't even know you could buy waffle maker machines until a few months ago, I thought they were all frozen
  
  There is a place nearby where you can buy 5 boxes of Kraft Mac & Cheese for $5. Used to be a box for $.50-75.
  When your next stubbed toe could require you to sell an organ, cheap Kraft seems perfect.
  
  Maccaroni and cheese were really meant to be Käsespätzle but for some reason didn't.
  
  Don't kid yourself. Many of us make our own with real cheese.
  
  But isn't that the most popular one?
- Make yourself some home made Mac and Cheese someday. Then make sure to burn the recipe so you can save yourself from that daily temptation.
  Edit to add, whatever you do. Don't add chili. Real ChiliMac is a level 5 paranormal entity that will haunt you the rest of your life.
- A good macaroni cheese is built from a roux, and uses several cheeses to get that flavour.
  With that being said, I don't get why Americans lose cheese so much. It's fine, I guess? I would much prefer most other pasta sauces over cheese, because cheese alone is just a bit bland.
  
  don't worry, you can still melt some cheese on top of the "other pasta sauces" to get the best of both worlds.
- It's like Oreos. I think it's things that are cultural. You probably can't get into it once your taste has already been shaped. But if you grew up with it, it's different. We probably all have such things at home. Although typically not from the horrifying US big food conglomerates, which maybe makes them a bit less atrocious.
  
  Wait, Oreos are actually bad?
- because we grow up on it. it's a comfort food.
  like mcdonalds and all that other super process crap.

Sorry bro, I don't really like Mac & Cheese either.
- Reported.
  
  I saw the report and came as fast as I could!
- You're really tempting the mods on this one. Not that I don't agree with you.
  
  Reported.
- This has been reported to your ISP for abuse, expect a vaguely worded letter in the mail that's meant to scare you into reaching out and settling.
  — Oh wait, that's only for pirates

That's a soft take...
clears throat*
macaroni and cheese utterly disgusting, nothing about it is appetising, the consistency of it is remarkably similar to the consistency of sewage, it smells like concentrated foot sweat and I dont know how it takes an amazing tasting product like cheese and turns it into the this horrifically vile tasting slop, but that right there is proof of Satan's existence.
- I love that your username is just "dumbass"
  
  Cheers! I thought it cut right to the point of who people are interacting with and hopefully they don't take me too seriously when I say dumbass things.
- I have ALWAYS hated mac and cheese. Anyone I've ever told this to is like "hOw CaN yOu NoT lIkE MaC aNd ChEeSe!!?? It'S aMaZiNg!!" I'm sure my dog thinks dogfood is amazing. But you don't see me eating it.
  
  Wait............are you living in a society of humanoid dogs?
  
  My favourite line is " ohh you haven't tried mine yet!" No I haven't and its because I hate Mac and cheese!
- I understand
- i like to add cheese to mine and it makes it super creamy and tasty i also dont buy Krap brand.
- You are entitled to your incorrect opinion.

honestly this stands.
You deserved it. Whoever you are.
- Yeah, justified.

Blocked and reported

If you're talking about the box, understandable. If you're talking about actual mac and cheese, maybe you just don't know anyone who knows how to cook.
- Ah yes, the culinary skill needed for making macaroni with cheese
  
  That's kind of my point...if you can't manage a decent mac and cheese, you pretty much can't cook at all.
  
  You'd be surprised There is a definite difference between Mac and cheese from someone who can cook vs someone who can't
  Ofcourse you can mess up the basic like the milk and butter ratio and for more advanced stuff you can always have add ins like more cheese or some seasoning
  Hell have you ever had Mac and cheese with some caramelized onions. Idk if I'm crazy for that but damn it's good

What? OP is a monster! Mods, ban this person immediately!

Warranted

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.

Now I want Mac and cheese
- Well....Mac is here, but we can't find cheese.

Talking about macaroni on the internet has always been risky

Are we talking kraft or made from scratch?
- Doesn't matter. Mac and cheese ain't anything special.
  
  Alton Brown’s with Gruyère Is fantastic. The funny thing is, kids don’t like it because it’s got too much flavor or something. Lol.
  
  Anything with that much cheese isn't going to be good
- Personally I prefer Kraft. It tastes better than scratch, but do not tell anyone!!

i mean, there's a game that's worth not playing
- Why's that?
  
  It was a lot better in the past before Epic bought Psyonix. Now enshittification is in full swing. Competitive integrity is dead. Smurfs in every queue, 30% of games. At higher levels you may deal with DDoS, Bots, or the enemy car is literally invisible. Epic simply doesn’t care about this game outside of advertising for Fortnite.

He's right though. Macaroni and cheese is kind of mid, a solid 4/10 for cheese based dishes.
- What about mac and cheese with bacon and jalapenos ?
  
  Hell, yeah!
  
  Bacon would be a slight improvement, jalapenos would be a downgrade. I'm not a huge fan of the texture or flavor of jalapenos.
- What about with rice?
  
  Perfect 5/7 with rice
  
  It would make it more filling and carb heavy, not much else. Rice doesn't have a strong flavor and the cheese would overwhelm it.

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

It is really good though guys
- you can stay

We do add various cheeses to our pasta and it tastes good. It's usually just a quick and easy meal but it's nothing special.
Not sure how mac and cheese (not the box stuff) could be much different. Although, I've never had a meal that would be specifically called mac and cheese.

they have a point and they shouldn't be asked to apologize for it

I had always disabled chat in RL. Nothing good really ever came through it.
- There's too much toxicity in RL these days.

The sound is the best

Well deserved.

It smells like feet, or used socks. Can't stand it.
- Leave the socks or feet out of your macaroni and cheese. It will make a world of difference. Only requires macaroni, butter, flour, milk, cheese, seasonings.
  
  Bro, feet and socks spawn inside of it.

Maybe it was a subtle way to say "macaroni and cheese is good anyway"

I'm criticizng fucking mac and cheese and nobody can stop m.... Grrrhhh.. Damn it!

I disagree
- With the statement or with the ban?

Are we talking Kraft or velveeta/shell? If it’s shell then I’m on your side

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.

How dare you!?! Everybody knows that spaghetti is better.

it's empty calories

Who says Macoroni?
- Who says Mocoroni?
  You apparently ?
- Are you from a reality that pronounces parmesan parmeesian, by any chance?
