self-spaghettification

has anyone ever thought how aaravos is not only based on both prometheus fire bringer and the serpent of eden, but also like, reminiscient of a genie?

like

he’s blue and sparkly.

he’s magical, powerful, and has been trapped for centuries in an mysterious artifact recovered from a treasure filled lair “as alluring as he is mysterious”

he grants wishes

and swears he’s telling the truth, maybe he has to.

but you never know if those wishes will benefit you or him more because of how they’re worded and the way he words his startouch dealt honesty—half truths, loopholes and all

often genies find a way for the people they prey on (yk, viren & claudia & maybe callum here) to get manipulated into freeing them somehow and sometimes switching places

oh and just aesthetically you know?

the gold adornments in places reminiscient of a genie.

the illusive form of him moving freely, unaffected by gravity, and is translucent like genies are sometimes depicted

i can look at sources later to show the parallels better because right now im going off a hodge podge of genies i’ve seen in media that i vaguely remember but

idkk man he seems like a shady genie bastard to me

Not to make a serious post too much but remember how angry everyone rightly was about bread companies adding sesame because it's cheaper to poison people than clean your machinery?

Yeah well it's happening in other foods. I already posted about Kellogg's doing it to cereal bars and Austin Snack Crackers but now it's in greens CVS granola bars and Jenny Fucking Craig cheesecake which btw record level they added EVERY allergen to that shit.

zekedms

Anyway if you have allergies be fucking careful because we're expendable and if you don't please get fucking angry for us. They're already making your food worse to save money but they're also going to kill someone this way.

It is! But this is a legal loophole being exploited by the companies.

From my understanding, companies are required to thoroughly clean equipment of major allergens between products. That takes time and money and it's a lot cheaper and easier to say something has an allergen than to clean it.

But the FDA won't let you add anything to the ingredients that's not actually an ingredient. I can't just say there's coconut in my oat milk before i used the blender before to make coconut milk.

So they add a small amount, more than a trace but not enough to cost any significant amount or mess with the end result too much and oh look, now it's part of the recipe. No cleaning needed, it just uses peanut flour, how convenient!

In short, it's not cross contamination when it's an ingredient.

Bread Suppliers 'Adding Sesame' as Seed Becomes Top Allergen

Allergic Living finds adding sesame to bread products a growing practice to skirt new U.S. allergen law. Nonprofits are upset, concerned.

Allergic Living

FDA urged to prohibit food companies from intentionally adding an allergen, sesame, to evade cross-contamination rules

As a result, many manufacturers are labeling foods and cleaning up production practices to prevent foods from becoming contaminated with ses

Kellogg's, Unintended Consequences, and the Death of 'May Contain'

Large food manufacturers are implementing fundamental changes in anticipation of FSMA directives. Is that a good thing?

SnackSafely.com

Adding another clarification reblog - this is not just about sesame, sesame was the major inciting incident in January. The granola bars add peanut butter so they don't have to maintain a higher cleaning standard due to shared equipment.

The cheesecake adds every nut oil on this very Earth for the same reason.

Kellogg's has been doing this since 2016 btw

This is just pretty awesome actually thank you

accessibleaesthetics

Very Silly Concept: a show called "Accessibility Nightmares" but it's structured exactly like Kitchen Nightmares. An accessibility specialist goes to different establishments and helps them make their businesses more accessible.

The accessibility specialist asks why the door at the top of the small set of stairs has a wheelchair symbol on it. The owner replies that's the accessible bathroom. The camera zooms in on the specialist as they process this information.

A customer with a service dog comes in to a restaurant. The hostess tells them they don't allow dogs. The accessibly specialist looks over at the hostess like

And there are web accessibility episodes too. The accessibility specialist stares at the white text on the light pink background of the home page like

The specialist asks why not a single product picture has alt text, and the business owner says "Well I mean, it's makeup, why would a blind person be shopping for makeup?" The specialist just

The specialist asks the web designer how a screen reader user is supposed to complete the captcha portion of the password reset process when there is no audio alternative. The designer admits they don't know.

this, but only if we get to yell at them like Gordon does.

accessibleaesthetics

Oh, 100%. In my head the accessibility specialist is actually still just inexplicably Gordon Ramsay. I was having a delightful time the other day imagining "your videos have auto-generated captions?" being said in the exact same way Gordon says "you're serving them frozen fish???"

But having the specialist be Ramsay-esque would be crucial, I think. On all accounts; just as Gordon is always patient and polite with the waiters and waitresses, the specialist would be patient and polite with the store staff answering questions about the accessibility options they do not control. But on the flip side, if the person who is in charge is being unnecessarily difficult or just straight up ableist, there is likely to be some yelling and dramatic background music involved.
