,,,Yes?

I said that thinking it would be an obvious example of how the system doesn’t really differentiate between specific types of things when it comes to substitutions, so long as it’s still under the same broad category.

The computer system doesn’t care if you’re lactose intolerant. As far as it’s concerned, milk is milk. An actual human, barring apathy, ignorance, or a really bad brain fart, would know better and would say there’s no available substitutions.

Most of the stuff that’s made to exclude things the item would normally have in them (lactose-free milk. Gluten-free tortillas. Low sodium salt alternatives. So on) isn’t made for those bullshit diet fads telling you that you can lose weight if you cut out this stuff and also this whole major food group. And several of these things (definitely some of the lactose-free milks we have) say something like “now you can eat these tasty things again!!!”, so it’s fairly clear that it’s for a group of people who otherwise wouldn’t be able to eat/drink that stuff. Unless, I suppose, you’ve never heard of lactose intolerance or severe food sensitivities that can (and do) kill people, but that falls into the category of ‘ignorance’ and can be corrected. And not just by telling that unknowing person about these sensitivities to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

People can reject substitutions before they even get to the store to pick up their order. And we have to go over the substitutions with the driver when they get there to make sure everything’s okay. The person grabbing you stuff being a dumbass and getting you regular whole milk instead of the lactose-free stuff that you can actually drink isn’t going to doom you to having that gallon of regular whole milk. You can say no at pretty much any point once we pick the substitution, up until it gets put in your car and you drive away.

While it’d be pretty shitty on our end to do something like that, there is stuff in place to make sure we don’t inadvertently make someone sick (or worse) because someone has dietary restrictions and one of us was being a dipshit.

And also to prevent lesser issues, like substituting a Fuji apple for a honey crisp apple, which the customer just can’t stand the taste of. But as I said; lesser issue. Severe reactions because of food sensitivities are probably, if I had to guess, the main reason this system is in place at all.

Wyll being a terrible monster hunter is something that is so special actually. told to hunt heartless devil? immediately convinced of her goodness and humanity and without hesitation agrees to defy the devil who has his soul in custody and spare karlach at tremendous personal physical cost. vampire in camp? well hes handsome and funny and pretty polite about where he puts his teeth so it’s fine all things considered. finding out the person who ritualistically disemboweled a tiefling in front of him is a bhaalspawn like an unholy progeny of the god of murder that is culturally immediately reviled? no that’s his friend and he completely trusts in their ability to fight their nature with their own inner light. it doesn’t matter that they created the absolute they’re not that person anymore. Like Wyll. you are literally categorically not hunting the monsters. guy of all time

Bruce coming home one day to find Robin Jason clinging onto a chandelier with Dick below him cheering him on.

Bruce: Jason what are you doing?

Jason: Dick said that you missed his antics after he moved out and so he’s teaching me how to be a better son

Dick: After this we’re going to drive the Batmobile into the bay :D

Jason: We’re going to what? I mean yeah! Right into the water.

Jason trying to whisper to Dick: Dick I can’t swim though

This just further fuels the chaotic dynamic of Dick and Jason during a time where Dick was still going through his teenage angst and was absolutely not a benevolent role model LMAO

I mentioned it in this post, but it's just so funny to me to imagine a Jason who grew up with an absolutely WILD Dick Grayson as an older brother, while the younger batkids grew up with a more mellowed out and mature (arguable but when measured against the other kids, he wins by a landslide) Dick Grayson.

Robin!Jason era:

Dick: You wanna go out and get high?

Jason: I can't, I have homework.

Dick, sputtering: HOMEWORK?

----

Dick, about to do an elaborate (and totally not dangerous) acrobatic move in the manor: Watch this, littlewing

Jason: You shouldn't do that, it'll make Bruce upset.

Dick, on the brink of angry tears: Why are you like this.

----

Jason, dejected: Listen, I know you don't approve of me because you think I'm not good enough as Robin, but-

Dick: Not good enough as Robin? I don't care about that, I just think you're a little bitch

----

Dick taking Jason out on a hangout for the first time: OK, looks like I got my work cut out for me. Take out a notepad and write everything down. I will NOT have my successor embarrass me like this. So what you wanna do to piss off Bruce-

---

[Years later, Jason returning to Gotham with the fury of a thousand suns and the chaos to match it]: I'm gonna make your life a living HELL, Bruce

Dick, older and relatively more chilled out: Okayyyyy, maybe let's just– calm down a lil, haha, no need for the theatrics

Jason, betrayed, observing a Dick Grayson who is teaching his new younger siblings to behave and be mature: Dick, what the FUCK

-----

Present!Dick, mentoring Tim: Make sure not to be too impulsive, don't wanna raise Bruce's blood pressure

Red Hood!Jason spying on them from afar: Who even ARE you??

-----

Jason: So you teach me ALL of that, only to turn into the ONE thing you despised so greatly all those years ago

Dick, sweating: Well-

Jason: I'm ASHAMED. How can you be worthy of being called my PREDECESSOR?

Reporter: Tell us Bruce, why have you recently decided to work out more? Do you just want to compete with our Clark? Or is it-

Bruce: My kids.

Reporter: I’m sorry what?

Bruce: I work out so I can still lift them.

Reporter: …

Bruce: if you have nothing else to ask I’m going to leave now. Let’s go Jaylad.

Bruce just picks up Jason and leaves.

Jason looks like a large dog that clearly isn’t used to being in the air.

Like this.

if i made tv shows i would insist on having those "previously on..." recaps at the start of each episode because they're fun and also so i could use one of them to show a series of events that definitely never happened in the story before being like "oops! wrong timeline lol" and cutting to the actual opening and never acknowledging what the fuck just happened again
