“Aurene” 1329 AE, Tarir

Tarir already has, in game, mesoamerican influence within it's architecture. My character himself is also Mexican Indigenous, so I felt particularly emotional about the thought of leaning into that. So Here is Aurene inspired by Mexica art! In my mind, the exalted created this mural shortly after her birth, to commemorate it and soldify Leo as her champion... embedded into the walls of her sanctuary.

oouuuuurgh I've been playing The Talos Principle 2 and I already went into it skeptical because if there was ever a game that absolutely did not need a sequel, it was The Talos Principle, but I wanted to give it a chance because the original is one of my all time favorite games......

it is NOT winning me over 😒

I understand the core of jokes like this but like. you guys understand food safety procedures exist in spite of capitalist greed and not because of it, right? Like if it was legal and more profitable to sell you literal rat poison and sawdust instead of fresh food they would do it.

Good reasons why food gets thrown out, even a lot of food, even when it seems just fine:

- Prepared foods sitting out on display are a breeding ground for bacteria. This can be minimized by keeping them above or below a certain temperature range, but it's just how things work.

- Food accessible to customers is doubly at risk of contamination. People touch the food, cross-contaminate utensils, sneeze, cough... Someone once dropped their whole ass phone in our mac'n'cheese.

- Food directly handled by a customer has to be assumed contaminated. Even if they only picked up the sample for a second. Even if they definitely used the little tongs. You don't have control over them or a guarantee that they're following food safe handling procedures, you can't give that item to someone else.

- It went out of date, out of temp, etc. It might still look fine and maybe you'd still eat it if it was in your fridge, but when you're operating on a business-sized scale it's better to be safe than to risk one person getting badly sick.

- It was mistakenly prepared wrong. Recipes tend to be strict in commercial kitchens because if you tell someone specific ingredients are in a dish and then sell them something else, that's an allergen risk.

Bad stupid reasons food gets thrown out that you should absolutely be mad about:

- Some companies expect you to over-produce to guarantee a certain amount of product gets thrown out, because it guarantees that no potential sale was lost on a sold-out product, and the cost of ingredients and labor for the amount being discarded is less than the profit made on whatever sold. I promise everyone in the kitchen thinks it's as infuriating as you do.

- If a product is easily recognizable as coming from a specific company, they may not want it to be available outside their designated point of sale to maintain brand integrity. You could claim that's a matter of food safety (what if someone takes our donuts, poisons them, and then sells them under our name) but we all know it's just a matter of optics.
