#that we didn’t order

[moonfurthetemmie]

,,,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.

i know plot convenience is a thing but i can’t stop thinking about the implications of jay finding bonzle in the fake monastery’s basement of all places. did he know it was there before he walked into the building? did his feet carry him there, subconsciously retracing old steps? did he wait there, knowing he was far from the fight, because his side of the fight wasn’t the one he truly believed in?

ideal team ups

fun fact @dredgesnails and i made these independent of each other

I know a lot of people are talking about Pearl’s lyrics about Marina in Suffer No Fools but I haven’t seen NEARLY enough people talking about their posing.

Im sorry but those are NOT straight activities.

I think it’s so ironic that the Pony Express escapes a lot if not all blame in discussion. I can’t even say I am excused from it but it’s just how hard people circle back to the characters alone without considering the environment they were made to be in.

Why would they design a ship where only two of the rooms lock? Not the bathroom? Not the sleeping quarters? We assume that all the companies in the universe are this shallow and careless to their workers but we explicitly know the Pony Express in extra vile. They are fed processed slop pack they can’t even really cook and the ration of those pack is meager at best. They hired and made people with a plethora of conflicting demeanors and beliefs work together on a mission where cohesion is important if not an outright necessity and punish them for not being happy about it. There’s no social protocols, not chain of command other than Captain’s word/choice and the only way to enforce that is with a literal firearm. They don’t allow them to celebrate freely and even took away leisure activities that would make them less stir crazy. They are only allowed a few hours of sleep despite their being no other real responsibilities or work on the ship, no matter the position or its importance. With any crew, with any level of synergy, this was a powder keg waiting for a spark.

I’m not saying characters that made mistakes didn’t make huge ones, but I think part of the horror is that at least for some (this is targeting Jimathan) those mistakes are partly made by a force of the hand. There’s a running theme of lack of choice and being forced into something and the very nature of how The Pony Express expected them to function plays a big part.

Maybe I’m just too attached to comic, but i don’t buy Bruce’s speech at the end of the UtRH movie.

The whole speech about not being able to come back from it if he killed joker, he’s too calm and controlled, it sounds rehearsed to me. I could picture him saying that weeks early but not in that moment.

I vastly prefer the overwhelming emotion shutting down any sensible debate like it goes in the comic: The face of his dead son is in front of him demanding he break his vows and kill his worst enemy. Throwing all his Worst trauma in his face, After weeks of Bruce losing control of the very city those vows are meant to protect, after being forced into a vicious fight with said dead son. This isn’t the time for Making a Case for Restraint, this is the time for freaking the fuck out and throwing a batarang without thinking it through. This is the time for Batman’s iron will to crack.

One thing about Crosshair is that he’s a remarkably intelligent man with a good read of people and situations and emotionally wrecked life decision-making skills. Dude will have some truly perceptive insight into whatever’s happening that hits on a grain of truth, and then that insight will be filtered through so many layers of trauma and cynicism that his conclusion will end up at least 90 degrees off whatever’s right.

I’m always a bit taken aback by these posts because I never see a ‘#f u Tywin’ or a ‘#Gregor and Lorch belong in hell’ in the tags, but these posts never fail to include a ‘#Rhaegar (insert vague threat here)’

This kind of stuff is so genuinely insane to me because we still do not know what Rhaegar was doing nor do we know what his plans were. We do not have his POV to know his thoughts, which means we know very little about him, but I do know that he did not kill Elia or his children. I do know that he did not order anyone to kill his family. I do know that he never sacked Kings Landing. I do know that he died before these murders and the sacking even took place. I do know that it was Aerys who prevented Elia and her children from fleeing Kings Landing. And I do know that he didn’t look at his children’s dead bodies and call them dragonspawn.

Rhaegar gets more heat than Elia and her children’s actual killers and their captor. In my opinion, that is insanity.

Because if people actually cared about Elia and her children, then there would be way more heat for Tywin and Aerys, for Gregor and Lorch. But instead, I see posts like this all the time in both Rhaegar’s tag and the main tags, and yet these posts never mention anything about the character who ordered the deaths of Elia and her children. I see nothing about the character who raped her and brutally killed her and her son. There is nothing about the character who dragged a little girl out from under her father’s bed and murdered her in a horrific manner. And the fact that there is heat for Rhaegar instead of Aerys and Robert tells me everything I need to know and leads to me not taking posts like this seriously.

i 100 trillion percent think khan was obsessed with guns pre-nori’s death and was actually the one to name uzi (beat nori in a card game) (he wanted to name her after smthn precious)

One of my absolute favorite “cliche” tropes is amnesia fics where reader has been dating character for years, but they forget and then they can only remember dating their ex. So it’s like they go back to the ex because it’s all they’ve ever known, and their current love has to cope with seeing the love of their life in the arms of another guy.

I could read that trope a million times over and never get bored or think it’s too repetitive.

Love how in “The Order 23 Job” Eliot to Hardison seems like he wasn’t listening but was like triple tasking thinking about the con, the kid he observed in the room, and listening to Hardison’s Star Trek code.
