I would normally never do this and I normally avoid all political posting, but the FDA has had to stop a lot of food testing due to staff cuts currently planned at least until September 30th.

This is very dangerous for certain foods and if you live in the United States, I highly recommend that you keep track of this list: https://www.fda.gov/food/food-safety-modernization-act-fsma/food-traceability-list

That is a (not fully comprehensive but useful) list of the high-risk foods for contamination and sickness that could result in serious harm or death. The broad strokes are cheeses, but especially soft cheeses, raw/fresh vegetables, pre-sliced fruit packages, ready to eat salads, chicken eggs, milk (bird flu), anything fermented like melons, and pet food, among others.

This is likely not a comprehensive list, so be sure to look things up yourself as well.

If you buy vegetables and plan to eat them, it is best to cook them to a safe temperature and wash their outsides well with water and light scrubbing instead of eating them raw. Treat it like chicken in that regard.

Make sure that the individual foods that you buy often are safe to eat or at risk, and adjust accordingly. This is a fundamental necessity that everyone here will need to follow. Testing is reduced or gone, and reporting on outbreaks will also likely be reduced or banned outright as well.

All you can do is stay safe, use your masks in public again, and make sure that you are clean as well as your food.

Attached below are more tips for vegetables, meat safety should be the same, just be more vigilant.

I love you all and don't want any of you hurt. Let's all support each other, thank you.

what's ur favorite part about FFXIV and what's ur least favorite I know basically nothing about the game

oh my god. im about to yap so hard

my absolute FAVOURITE part of ffxiv is when Shinryu, basically Zenos's semi-dragon-semi-god-kinda-not-those-things transformation shows up to help the WoL (short for Warrior of Light) to defeat the ultimate manifestation of despair of dying worlds (the Endsinger) ^-^ and basically goes : hey why haven't you killed her yet i thought you're better than this? and then we go on a chase to hunt her and it was AWESOME and it was the best thing ever and and- GOUHGHHGGH shatters into glass

Zenos was an antagonist/rival/mirror/narrative foil and his entire character makes me want to throw up (positive) and fall down several staircases (again : positive). other people have worded this better than me but Zenos is somehow both a narrative foil to both the WoL (in-game protag) and also the player. which doesn't make sense until it does. he's. kind of in-between the fourth wall. and he stays that way until he dies- wait ive gone off-topic

ANYWAY. that was my favourite part of the game

myyyyy least favourite part of the game is definitely. side-eyes. Island fucking Sanctuary. its basically a private island for everyone type thing except they made it into SPREADSHEETS! i had to organise spreadsheets every goddamn week (it was a weekly cycle) and i still dont know why i did it. the motorcycle mount i got out of it was peak though

"dysphoric terf" blogs are actually the most depressing and surreal tableau in the world. just a whole demographic of people letting their hatred for trans women reduce them into miserable little hollow shells

I think that if James Somerton 'lasted' a little longer, he would have been really into ChatGPT. Because that's a way to automate what he already did. Whether or not he was self-aware of how his actions were dishonest he (or a lackey) still needed to go to third parties directly to lift their writing. He still needed to bullshit weird correlations between nazis and closet homosexuality (?) with his own imagination. If he had been able to just, ask ChatGPT to write him something he could have eliminated all effort from his 'work' while obscuring the sources/'self-knowledge of a lack of sources' even from himself.

What he really liked being was a mouthpiece: a personality that could receive fame for reciting plagiarized and made-up stuff in a charismatic way. He invested a lot into cameras and styling and that type of thing. At the end of the day, everything he made was just 'content' to sludge through his outward facing presentation and he didn't have to really understand any of it.

Just like ChatGPT, copyright law didn't stop him, and his videos were circulated for years after people began complaining about him because of how 'easy' he was to watch which means even the minimum effort to learn that he lacked integrity was arduous by comparison. The low barrier for audience entry mattered way more than knowledge of his grifting for a relatively long time.

When people complain about ChatGPT 'stealing' from sources and 'hallucinating' we should think less about 'it's bad because it's illegal/it's violating copyright' or 'it's bad because it will lie to you with the authority of an impartial machine', because real human beings can create the same result albeit with a lot more front-end effort. ChatGPT is not special in this way.

We should be talking about how filling every sphere of life with Robo-Somertons is a bad idea, and how terrifying it is to see 'James Somerton behavior' as what corporate executives consider to be peak performance.
