The "I hate Adobe Illustrator" Club
Please Adobe - name your file extensions to .illy - make them known as illy files and stop this confusion with .ai - Clients are so confused and its exhausting explaining to them time and time again....

Artificial Intelligence
The QBN Mount Rushmore
If we're talking about people rather than events, my preliminary four are:
Sureshot
The old-school archetype. One-liners, trolling, randomness and genuine participation.
Nairn
Modern QBN chaos merchant and one of the people most responsible for turning ordinary threads into lore.
Palimpsest
The man who looked at an internet argument and thought:
“This needs referees.”
The collective Old Guard
Ultimately QBN's greatest character is the community itself. The fact that usernames from the early 2000s can still appear alongside people who joined much later is extraordinary.
The most important discovery
The really interesting thing from digging through this isn't a particular meme.
It's that QBN has an unusually long collective memory.
A normal social-media community constantly replaces itself. QBN didn't. Old usernames remain recognisable. Old jokes resurface. People remember ancient arguments. Threads from 2003 sit alongside discussions from 2026. The site's own failures become folklore.
That's why something like the Palimpsest/Rendle “fight” can become legendary: there is enough institutional memory for the joke to accumulate history.
QBN isn't just a website anymore.
It's basically an internet village with 24 years of grudges, inside jokes, recurring characters and archaeological layers.

Signs your getting old?
I am realizing that the feeling of my views being increasingly insignificant to younger generations is actually incredibly freeing. They matter more now (especially in their own head).
Leaving me to enjoy my life.
Fuck 'em. Good luck. I'll promise to vote and recycle.

Food
I'm home alone for a couple of weeks and it's 3 for 2 on veggie beef-replacement burgers at my local supermarket, so I'm going to try, and compare, to see how they hold up.
I'm seriously dubious about the Richmond (of poor quality floor scrape irish sausage infamy), but who knows?
- mm, so much processed soy and pea proteins.Nairn
- so richmond is poor quality...
it's 3 for 2, meaning no-one wants them
and you buy them anyway?
https://media1.tenor…hans_glib - Having a vegetarian daughter, I come across a lot of food that purports to replace non-vegetarian dishes—yet it is expensive, highly processed, and lacks...OBBTKN
- ... and baseless. They’re a total rip-off. As for the burgers, I make them at home using lentils, textured soy protein, egg...Tons better and cheaperOBBTKN
- @hans - I bought three different types, Richmond being one of them.Nairn
- I realise now that I missed "Richmond 'one'" in my original post. I saw that hey were rated quite highly a while back, but I can't credit that estimation.Nairn
- Others are 'This Isn't..'and 'Beyond' Brands, the latter of which I've had before and was passable.Nairn
- I'm basically trying to find things that can feed the frequent "I NEED A FUCKING CHEESEBURGER" urge I have, sans meat.
I'm Randy, from Trailer Park Boys.Nairn - without the sucking-off Lahey angle, obvs.Nairn
- I realise now that I completely fucked this post, lol. I should've specified further.
Can't get 'impossible' burgers easily, unfortunately.Nairn - Just come to mine, I'll make you a smash cheeseburger whenever you want.
No bacon, I promise.Continuity - Those Richmond veggie burgers are pretty decent to be fair. There's some good veggie burger options in Aldi too but like OB says, it's much better to make y'ownIanbolton
- I'm not wanting veggie burgers per se, I'm wanting switch-in substitutes for beef, which aren't so easy to make at home.Nairn
- And the Richmond one was fuckign terrible. Tonight 'Beyond' Vs. 'This Isn't', and tomorrow the winner versus a frozen beef burger.Nairn
- Just had a vidchat with my kid, who's off to the countryside and was showing off about having steak and arrosticini, which made me thoroughly question myselfNairn
- 'This isn't' appears to be the winner, although one of them made my piss smell awful.Nairn
