I've never understood the mindset of sneak whatever food in anyways what a person says they can't/won't eat. It's like who made them the mealtime police? I understand it can be frustrating at times to have to work around a dietary restriction, but when you have internet access it's not impossible to research an alternative be it a substitute ingredient or a different recipe altogether. When I was picked to bring the dessert to a gathering where one person had a tree nut allergy and another had a peanut allergy, my solution was to just make something with no nuts. Do I know if they were faking an allergy or not, no and I can't in good conscience take that risk. Even if it's just a 'I don't like X', no biggie, I'll just not use X or find a work around.

It's not about the food.
It's about power.
It's about being right.
It's about the sheer narcissistic joy of owning a persons life.

Same, and I know a surprising amount of vegans/vegetarians. I enjoy talking recipes with them, and brainstorming how to do vegan-friendly versions of cakes and stuff.

Speaking of picky eaters.

quote:

The unidentified patient told doctors he had only eaten fries from the fish and chip shop, Pringles potato chips, white bread, slices of processed ham and sausage since elementary school, and he avoided foods with certain textures. He first visited a doctor at age 14, complaining of tiredness, according to a case report published in the Annals of Internal Medicine on Monday.
His vision had worsened to the point of blindness by 17 years of age, and doctors identified vitamin B12 deficiency, low copper and selenium levels, a high zinc level, reduced vitamin D level and bone level density, according to a statement from the University of Bristol.

The boy seems to have issues outside of the diet that the poorly written article glosses over.

you can still help the fight in other ways.

here are some suggestions based on my own experience and that of people I've worked with:

if you have spare money: donate to the international antifa defense fund or another group doing on-the-ground work
if you have spare time: join a rapid response network (people that mobilize to take action and/or share alerts when there's an ICE raid)
if you can talk to people: find people who feel similarly to you, get to know them, have each other's backs
if you have skills: find a group that can use them - maybe you know how to use signal, draw eye-catching posters, stop bleeding, make a spreadsheet, or make cheap nutritious meals? you could help a group be more secure, make flyers, serve as a medic, keep track of supplies, or feed them!
if you know someone who works for ICE: shame them into quitting

we need people in the fight, but not everyone in the fight needs to be punching nazis or blockading ICE offices or yelling "up yours, police!".

feel free to PM me if you want to chat more about this. that offer is open to anyone in this thread who wants to get involved but doesn't know where to start. 💜

33 bodies recovered in California boat fire search as investigation intensifies

https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2019-09-04/california-boat-fire-bodies-recovered-fbi-ntsb-investigation

quote:

Thirty-nine people were on board for a three-day scuba diving trip when the fire broke out. Five crew members jumped overboard and paddled to a nearby vessel. They survived. The passengers and a sixth crew member were asleep below deck and were likely trapped by the flames, officials said.

About three dozen divers have participated in search efforts over the last few days. They go out for hours at a time and return “emotionally drained,” Olmstead said.

Though slightly larger than Conception, Vision has a similar layout. Single and double bunks are stacked two and three high in the boat’s sleeping quarters below deck. A wooden staircase leads from the sleeping area up to the galley. Authorities say that exit on the Conception — along with an escape hatch that opens up near the dive deck on the boat — were blocked by fire.

I know someone who had gone diving on that boat several times. They posted these pictures on Facebook.




They've circled in red what they believe to be the escape hatch mentioned in the article. That'd be difficult to find and get through even in the best of circumstances.

The person I know who dived on that boat is my aunt whose friend was murdered. The deceased's husband was just found guilty in that murder. My aunt is becoming extremely tragedy-adjacent.

boats, in general, are dangerous as poo poo. cruise liners are designed to be easy for non-boat people to navigate. if you're on a dive boat presumably you're willing to put up with a boatier boat

here's a really good longform about the uss fitzgerald, which got itself struck by a cargo ship off the coast of japan last year. of specific relevance is chapter 4, the examination of the sailors asleep in a berthing compartment below the waterline and the bare seconds they had to escape with their lives before they drowned

Idk how you'd give the sailors more time to get out though, the other ship basically drove straight into their berthing, which was below the waterline, and made a gigantic fuckoff hole in it. The divers you can see how something can be done to improve their odds of getting out but the Fitzgerald guys were just hosed.

Yeah, it caused quite a scandal at the time too. For a long time, the sandwich wasn't considered proper British food, as it wasn't boiled into a flavorless mush, and there was concern that introducing flavor to British cuisine might cause an uprising of the lower classes.
