A classical Greek tragedy about hard work, big egos, and French culture.

His fanatical attention to detail, frenetic work ethic, and discerning palate, propelled him to the top of his profession, and earned him a knowledgeable and loyal, but unforgiving and demanding clientele.

In the late 1990s, a new form of Asian-inspired "fusion cuisine" swept France, catering to an international corporate class and pleasing trend-driven "foodies" (a neologism of the movement), which Loiseau resisted.

Loiseau was downgraded from 19/20 to 17/20 in the Gault et Millau guide and received a strong negative media review from the gastronomic critic François Simon in the newspaper Le Figaro, but he still had his three stars in the Michelin Guide. Criticism continued to pour in and the media speculated about a possible future loss of a Michelin star.

But on February 24, 2003, the chef finished his lunchtime service, rolled up his apron and drove home. Telling his ten-year old son – one of three children – to go and play outside, he went upstairs, locked the bedroom door and shot himself in the head with a hunting rifle, a present from his wife.

After his death, three-star chef Jacques Lameloise said Loiseau had once confided, "If I lose a star, I'll kill myself".

Derek Brown, Michelin director at the time, said: "The idea of telling him about the concerns we had about some of his cooking was in order to give him an opportunity to consider whether he wanted to do something about it, which he did, as it turned out."

All in all, a messy story sparking many debates about whether reviewers should really be brutally honest, and if they are unfairly harsh. Perhaps it inspired Ratatouille (2007)?

As a Leaf I'm torn.

I can't stand the Federal NDP's bizarre fixation on identity politics. They also admitted to supporting "asymmetrical federalism", which means Quebec gets special privileges like controlling immigration, when it should be strictly Federal.

Don't get me started on their extreme fetishism of Indigenous people, where there is no pushback to the eternal gibs.

I support reasonable labour rights and public services, but we badly need investment that isn't real estate and Indian "students".

Carney will likely win the Liberal leadership.

If the Federal Conservatives made some appeals to red Tories, I might join them.

Ive spoken only twice to people about it. The clouds in the sky and jesus appearing. I remember someone else seeing it too, and we spoke, she talked so gently that i couldt speak further and felt id poison someone so sweet with my world. Why does life do this? Isolationists, others who demeen them as an inside joke they speak of highly then raise a chair and dance as those who spoke of seeing Jesus in the clouds was ever something to kust nudge and say "it neber happened".

It makes me extremely upset that the things i see are true. Even when blue is blue to me and you, i let go and i can see this VERY REAL and VERY CONSEQUENTIAL simulation, as if we were to reach out to feel good and reach out to hrut others. We weren't sent here. You reach out and your growth and nerves tell me the REALITY OF THIS simulation.

The words are there and meaningless. To me, as a schzio, words are spoken to me daily and mean nothing. The feeling i hold onto how ever, is why you get the essence someone is speaking freidnly and psychotic at the same time, because theyre handling things in heck on earth with dead bodies in stores ad old kind folk who fidn it normals to see dead bodies everywhere with muscles so raw and eyes so wide lips puckered for flesh.. how is this not anl purgatory? And isnide ofnhell? You literaly have to protect others and this is not heaven. This is a palce or worship of satan. All day everyday.

And not lucifer the divine. Made bhy heaven, but by the law of everything anti and nasty to the conditions so awful i must place it in the 'SATAN ' word bin. For it is not a being of worhsip but the idealogy of losing oneself to temptation and never coming back. If you do come bakc however we still accept you, just never give into lucifers offering, he will trick you because he is the one commanding the tests given by god. He is essentislly the Cosmic Joker. I LOVE ALL GODS AND ALL WORSHIP OF MIND HEART AND SOUL OF ALL DIETYS. WITHOUT THEM THERE IS NO YOU, WITHOUT YOY I AM NOT HAPPY. IF YOU ARE HSPPY AND YOU I AM 10X MORE ECSTATIC AND PRETTY SOULED.

How about them eggs?

Right, there's nothing productive to be had in terms of discussion here, and I don't think you guys even care at this point either to try.

Call it whatever stupid buzzword you want - Woke, DEI, PC, SJW, or whatever dumb term people come up with next week. I don't care. The term means, always has meant, and always WILL mean "Not being an butthole to someone because they're different to you."

Don't pretend that the old stories were fine just having black or gay people - Because buttholes complained about that then, just like you are complaining about it now. The reality is, people who are not the same skin colour, sexual orientation, gender, lifestyle, size, physical ability, etc etc, than you, Exist. They always have, and always will.

Culture including people with different characteristics to you IS NOT A SLIGHT. They are not doing it to offend you, or to "gaslamp you" or whatever nonsense the Anti Woke Brigade has come up with this week. These characters are being created so that the real human beings who have those differences, have someone to look at and go "Hey this guy's like me!" That's it. That's the whole thing. It's just about making everybody feel welcome.

If you want to complain about this, I encourage you to send us a modmail. But this thread is locked, and you know darn well why.

Ari clearly has the ick.

I can't get over Ari's hand She's posing like this is an annoying fan that wants a quick selfie, not the guy she fricked and destroyed two marriages to have.

These r-slurs truly think CHYNA is some free society built on socialist values. Are these neighborz even realz?

Lmao. China is so authoritarian they allowed these brave story fabricators to operate as long as their no. 1 adversary was willing to find them.

"Give me 300k per year to say China bad"

Shockingly the CPI (customer prices index) has risen again to 3%, nobody in the country could've predicted this happening.

Of course, this doesn't mean much of anything when prices seem to be entirely arbitrary, as seen by this monstrosity

Alongside non-existent wage growth

Results entirely in the obvious choice to get out of this country as fast as I can. But the next vote will fix things surely.
