Excessive Salt Ahead

Buy hard, solid veggies and fruits (apples, melons) or ones with rinds (bananas are probably fine). Scrub the peel/rind thoroughly with soap and water before consumption.

The more solid and dense the meat, the less likely it is for contamination to spread very far. Buy your meat in solid cuts, NOT GROUND. Especially not ground chicken rn, salmonella bad.

Cook things thoroughly. Follow guidelines for the internal temperatures meat is supposed to reach and stick to those guidelines. Use a meat thermometer. Make your steaks well done for a while.

I’d stay away from shellfish as a whole if I were you. The diseases you can get from it are some of the nastier ones. No sushi for a while, too. If you have fish, make sure it was frozen following anti-parasitic guidelines and cook thoroughly.

AVOID LEAFY GREENS. This is where we’ve been seeing the most outbreaks lately, so be very careful.

The pregnant, elderly, immunocompromised, and the very young are the ones most at risk in an outbreak. If you are in one of these groups, be extremely cautious and avoid soft cheeses and prepackaged deli meats. Check on friends and family in these groups. Report symptoms of foodborne illness to a doctor so they can report to the state health depts that are still running.

Found family plot

Shiro’s life before being a paladin, and his time as a champion.

Shiro. did he hatch from a fucking egg. WHERE ARE HIS PARENTS.

Allura’s quintessence being connected to all the Lions. whatever happened to that

Alfor’s “if all goes well, we’ll see each other again soon” line - did that? ever pan out? or…?

why did the Lions not pick their endgame Paladins back in the pilot if that’s where they were supposed to end up. if Keith’s a better Black paladin than Shiro and Black “believed in him before he believed in himself” why didn’t Black just choose him in the first place

the Lion Switch still makes no fucking sense. where did the hierarchy of Lions come from. how would that even make sense. the OG Paladins were all rulers and leaders how did they get arranged into first-second-third

seriously though what the fucketh happens if the Red Paladin with the fiery temper who relies on instinct isn’t the trusted right hand of the Black Paladin. like this is a mess. it’s a fucking mess my dudes

Allura going from Mystical Princess whose life force is connected to All The Lions to Naive Teenage Girl who can’t fly in a straight line. seriously why. like why

for that matter why did they all struggle so much in early S3 if those were their ~destined~ true Lions like lmao okay just. *rubs temples* *screams into pillow*

the Blade of Marmora. were they just. chilling for 10k years doing jack shit. how did they form? who set that thing up? what did they have spies in central command for? what did the spies do??

seriously those dudes were all like “we just hang out in secret hating the Empire we cannot possibly do anything” like OKAY SO LIKE. WHAT IS YOUR M.O. WHAT DO YOU DO. WHO FORMED YOU. WHO’S IN CHARGE. CAN I SPEAK TO THE FUCKING MANAGER

how did spending 2 years on a space whale qualify Keith for leadership but a lifetime of learning and training was inadequate for Allura to be the one taking charge

what even the fuck was with Shiro’s illness. did he ever tell anyone about it. did it go away.

why did the Black Lion suddenly forget all about Shiro in S7. where did the bond go. i don’t fux with bullshit interviews EXPLAIN IT IN THE FUCKING TEXT YOU COWARDS

did JDS draw that blush on Allura’s cheeks in S7 with a sharpie

bonding with the Lions. remember when that was all mystical and about connecting to the element of the Lion. what happened to that. why did Pidge get that one storyline about it and then Shiro in the astral plane but no one else ever did

why is Keith’s quintessence still red and Lance’s still blue and they’re supposed to be “mirrored in their Lions” but they’re not

who would win 10,000 year old super-powerful quintessence zombie vs. one pointy boy

are there just like. 1000s of random Shiro clones roaming the universe now. just chilling in tubes. like what.

HOW? DOES? MAGIC? WORK? you cannot fucking have a science fantasy world feel compelling and real if you can’t even be bothered to map out a functional magic system. like does Allura just get power ups whenever it’s convenient

if Allura is supposedly “the heart of Voltron” why isn’t she in the Black Lion, since that forms the torso/heart of Voltron. yes i’m still salty about Allura not being in Black I ALWAYS WILL BE

whatever the fucketh happened to Allura’s ability to supercharge Voltron

why did Allura have to die seems fake but okay

WHY THE FUCKETH. did the Galra empire offer Keith the role of Emperor. i’m pissing this is the dumbest fucking bullshit i’ve ever heard. lmao WHY. WHY THAT DUDE. FUCK.

Zethrid and Ezor

Acxa and Veronica

Keith and Shiro

Keith and Lance

Shiro and Adam

(ways they COULD have done this, organically for each, below the cut)

So, as it’s roughly explained, the state alchemist program is a kind of “recruit potential human sacrifices” mechanism, with a side-order of “brute strength for the army”. But basically, the state alchemist title is mostly about being a researcher–given people like Shou Tucker exist, and given that the only requirement to stay a state alchemist is to submit a yearly report of your research that says “look I’m still being a useful scientist”.

So far, so far this is sensible, yeah? Father and the delightful children from down the lane are running a recruitment program for potential human sacrifices. So sure–butter them up! Give them lots of money, get them buddy-buddy with the government, and give them endless resources for research. It’s be pretty easy to trick a state alchemist in that position to open the portal if Sugar DaddyBradley is nudging them to do it.

And I’m still willing to go with this logic for the whole “draft the state alchemists into war” move. They make it pretty clear that was something of a last-ditch effort. And the blood transmutation circle around Amestris was an absolute necessity for Father’s plan. So the risk of a few state alchemists dying or resigning from your Potential Sacrifice Pool is worth it for the completion of the circle.

Now. To get to my fucking thought. 

Edward fucking Elric. This fucking fight-me 12 year old troglodyte shows up to the exam and performs circle-less transmutation in front of mother fucking Bradley, demonstrating to one of the seven Actual Fucking Homunculi that he’d already opened the portal. Ed was literally prepped as a human sacrifice before he showed up to Central. A fully set human sacrifice showed up at the homunculi’s door, said “hey look what I can do!”, proved he’d opened the mother fucking portal already, and said “hey yeah hire me”. Human sacrifice, free shipping, no assembly required, handcuffs not included!

They could have just tossed Ed into a shoebox and kept him there until the Promised Day. They wouldn’t even need to make up an excuse he attacked the f u  c k i n g president. That’s fucking treason babey. He’s 12, he’s an orphan, he’s from a rural town in buttfuck nowhere, he’s literally the easiest person alive to disappear. They could have arrested him for assassination crimes, kept him in gay baby jail, and just popped him out for the Promised Day

What do they do instead?! “Oh lmao this kid’s great. Let’s give him infinite money, no supervision, no governmental responsibilities, access to all our secret resources, and toss him on a train to who-the-fuck-knows-where-land”

They fucking did that

And like? They then had the audacity to be concerned when Edward “Fight Me” Elric almost got himself killed about 293 times. Just an endless game of “I thought u were watching him” from one homunculus to another when Ed fucking absconds half-way across the globe to go entice some other hostile entity into murdering him to death. That’s the whole series. Every arc is Ed baiting death while the homunculi are in the background like “:/ wish he wouldn’t do that”

This only gets worse when you consider they later learned Al opened the portal too because really?? These two stab-happy globe-trotting public menaces are 40% of your final evil plan for godhood. 40%. Almost half. You couldn’t fucking set aside a cardboard box to keep these idiots in?

Father didn’t baby-gate Ed because humans are like ants to him and he had no concept of how thoroughly Ed and co. could fuck his shit up

Father and the Hot Topic Brigade didn’t lock Ed up because they recognized the unbridled chaotic 12-year-old energy compressed into such a small vessel and they understood no jail cell on earth would reliably hold this thing

Reminds me of the time they tried to claim she grow up in *this* house and was therefore a pampered limousine liberal. 

The gas-lighting here is off the charts.
