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.
I just don’t feel like there’s any cooking skill involved in making macaroni and cheese to begin with lol
Well, I mean, I can think of several different variations of a stovetop version (bechamel, the sodium citrate, or the condensed milk version that’s been gaining popularity), a question of whether to bake it or not, endless add-ins, choices of cheese to use, choice of pasta to use. Making a bechamel without lumps is not hard but it does require some knowledge of basic technique. And it is actually conceivable that someone would use fresh pasta, which is a whole different ballgame. So while macaroni and cheese in its most basic is not at all a difficult dish it leaves tons of room for putting a personal spin on it…which means it has plenty of ways it can go wrong, too. I’ve certainly had plenty of disappointing mac and cheese in my life, sometimes at restaurants that really should be able to do better.
…you’ve ordered macaroni and cheese at a restaurant?
Yeah? Fancy baked mac and cheese isn’t uncommon at all, sometimes dressed up with stuff like lobster and truffle oil, or sometimes as some sort of baked Wisconsin three cheese deal with crispy bread crumbs. Or it’s a staple side at BBQ restaurants, and a lot of people people will judge a place harshly on its quality. I’ve also seen a lot of fried mac and cheese wedges on pub menus (which I do not recommend, just fill your wedges with cheese instead, the extra carbs add nothing).
do you… think restaurants don’t have macaroni and cheese?
They don’t where I live. It just doesn’t seem like a restaurant-y thing to me.
Go to Applebee’s and order Four-Cheese Mac & Cheese with honey pepper chicken tenders. The chicken tenders are excellent but the Mac and Cheese is the most watery garbage I’ve ever eaten. Then you will understand the true skill of making delicious Mac and Cheese.
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
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.
Same. I started with a couple of friends around when it became F2P. They live in another city, so that plus voice chat is just how we catch up and chill, usually with a few drinks and with some dumb jokes here and there. We’re familiar with the controls and systems and everything, so doing anything else has the barrier to entry of learning a whole new thing. R6 Siege looks cool but complicated. I don’t get Destiny 2. FC24 is pretty good but I’m not sure it has the same staying power for us as RL.
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.
The smurfing has gotten so bad…
Discussion about it on the subreddit was insufferable back in the day. All the fanboys would show up in every thread complaining about the problem saying stupid shit like “well Psyonix has the data to judge if it’s working or not and since you don’t that makes your argument invalid”
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 made the right call. Macaroni and cheese is definitely that good.
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.
The thing you’re talking about is not Mac and Cheese.
Sorry what? You know you can make Mac and cheese from scratch right? It’s not too difficult.
Are you telling me that simply dumping the contents of a cardboard box into some hot water is not the best way to cook a meal? I’m shocked
Bro eww that’s disgusting.
You add the whole box into some hot water. The cardboard is protein.
It provides much-needed roughage and essential inks.
It gets even better though, 'cos you can get all deviant and start adding to the recipe with a few bits of mushroom, bacon or maybe even chorizo
Bell peppers, salami and smoked chili powder
My man, chorizo is the best meat there is. It makes every meal better
This little honduran spot near me offers this breakfasty eggs and chorizo meal and my wallet still hasn’t recovered
Being right isn’t cheap.
I like to add mini pizzas, corndogs, a bowl of solidified soup, and 87 cans of beer.
That is an absolute shocker, how dare you?!
Make it yourself, obviously ready made meals are gonna taste bad if they are cheap (which they are)
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.
There are varieties of mac’n’cheese other than Kraft
Lmao gourmet mac n’ cheese 😍
Oven baked Mac and cheese with bread crumb topping really is that good
Your poor toilet bowl…
that doesn’t make it not good though.
Note “Doesn’t stop me tho”
Huh, I didn’t know about this. What ingredient(s) cause(s) the problem?
Lactose
Does everyone become lactose intolerant with age?
Lactose intolerance is more common than lactose tolerance globally. In the unites states, something like 1 in 3 people are lactose intolerant.
It’s largely genetic. Lactose tolerance can be traced to nomadic tribes that kept milk producing animals as a food source, adapting to tolerate lactose in their diet over time.
But I didn’t know it happened with age
Of course it is with age. No mammals are born lactose intolerant. We drink milk as infants.
Almost universally, all adult mammals become lactose intolerant. We humans are lucky for those of us who tolerant.
Why must some people be so intolerant of the lactose people??? Racists…
Well deserved.

What? OP is a monster! Mods, ban this person immediately!
it’s empty calories
Warranted
The sound is the best
I understand
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.
