Love how much Luffy just isn't here for people playing with their lives and self-sacrificing.

Like yeah fight with everything that you've got, but if you go in planning to die then you might as well not go in at all cause you've already lost.

Antis: Max doesn't care about Billy. He tortured her!

Me: points to all the evidence that says she did. And that torture is a strong word choice for what we actually see Billy do to her. Also that if the way Billy treated Max on screen was torture then Billy was constantly being tortured and isn't that sad.

Antis: Fuck Billy's sob story! And of course Max acts like that! She feels guilty that he got possessed and he died because she is a decent person! But she shouldn't!!!!!

Me: what's your malfunction then? If the empathy, guilt, and grief Max clearly feels for Billy despite their painful history are by your own admission the expected reactions of a decent human being, why are you trying so hard to remove her humanity as well as mine? Why do you need people to hate Billy the exact way that you do? Is it because someone taught you that cauterizing the parts of yourself that make you decent was the only way to be "strong" in the face of your own trauma?

Genuinely mindboggling to see "x queer identity isn't oppressed" every six months for some new fucking group. I don't give a fuck about it they're all fucking queer and need support from a community that doesn't police them for having a confusing or complex identity. I think that some of you are like mentally puritan catholic schoolteachers masquerading as tumblrinas. Kill the cop in your brain or you're not welcome at pride either lol!

rant

just did a budget for february. to track my spending to see if i can actually save my goal amount for europe in time. (june ideally)

guys. i alone spent $550 on groceries. just me. not including the times when my partner footed the bill. One of which i know was $164. so like. $700 on groceries. in the shortest month of the year

and I am not an outrageous over spender. I get the same things over and over and over. but food is just so goddamn expensive here i'm spending almost a weeks paycheque on food apparently.

needless to say that will absolutely not be happening again at all. ever. My budget for food for the month of march is $150. so is my partners. so $300. that should be enough. It has to be. I dont want to spend anymore than that on food. I shouldnt have too. it shouldnt be like this.

meanwhile i'll be looking into additional forms of income cuz right now i have only $400 of wiggle room. and 150 0f that is food, another 150 is debt.

being an adult sucks sometimes. literally how do any of you do this.

I wanted to answer some tags but didn't know how best to do this so I'll just make a post. Because it's science and microbes and I can't resist a good ramble about my work.

Yes, you are supposed to cook meats and flour and other similar products because leaving them uncooked can open you up to ingesting dangerous pathogens, such as salmonella.

However, this isn't (or at least shouldn't be) a situation where if you do eat these undercooked things you are definitely eating salmonella and are going to get sick.

These bacteria and other harmful pathogens are not always present in these foods! And, in fact, the whole purpose of food safety and the food processing system is to be sure that they aren't in your food. Or, if they are, they are at such low/acceptable levels that even if you did eat raw chicken or a raw egg, you probably wouldn't get sick.

Some animals are more prone to carrying these bacteria naturally, without actual signs of infection - such as birds. That's why you should never eat undercooked chicken and why it's risky to eat raw egg. For some products, they don't tend to carry these pathogens naturally and really shouldn't be infected with them unless it's been introduced into the product somehow. Cows, non-meat products - stuff like that. That's why restaurants can serve rare steak/burger and why usually you can eat dough without too much concern.

(Also, ofc, as living creatures other meat animals and even plants do carry their own natural bacteria/etc. I'm sure some of these are pathogenic to humans but I wouldn't be able to name them off the top of my head.)

However, things happen. Salmonella gets from chicken skin/feathers into their meat/eggs. Cows eat feed with dangerous pathogens in them. Contaminated tools are used to harvest flour and pathogens are introduced into it. And then, things slip through the cracks. They didn't test the batch well enough. The part they tested wasn't infected but another batch was. A production farm/factory/etc doesn't follow proper guidelines and they haven't been inspected in awhile. Now there's food in the store that is infected with high level of pathogen. And by the time they realize and issue a recall, there may already be people sick.

So, long story short - recommended cooking processes are meant to keep you safe when things slip through the cracks. Even if pathogens exist in your food at high enough levels to infect you, thorough cooking kills most of them and makes your food safer to eat. It lowers your risk. But that doesn't mean you are actively ingesting pathogens every time you eat these raw products - in fact, you really shouldn't be (or, again, not at levels nearly high enough to make you ill).

An active recall means that they now *know* these pathogens are in your food at levels high enough to make you sick. This food will certainly make you sick if you don't cook it well enough - and the bar for what is thorough enough is now higher. So, it's best at that point to just throw the food away rather than take the risk. Especially with foods known to be eaten raw/undercooked (whether they're supposed to be or not). Also, you don't have to ingest the food to get sick...what if you use the flour in a project/activity for your kids? Touching it and then touching their mouths would be enough to infect them.

And that's the difference, thank you for coming to my Ted talk.
