You should never stop learning and school is a very good way to learn. If you don’t learn new stuff all the time your brain will literally stagnate and rot. It will atrophy.

Very few people are cut out for true self directed learning so, unless you’re one of the gifted few, structured and group learning is the best way to do it.

If you’re highly motivated anything is better than nothing. Find free courses, look stuff up, engage the academic world as best you can 🤷‍♀️

No they’re slaves

The 13th amendment specifically says slavery is only abolished except as punishment for a crime

They’re legally just slaves. Getting a small and conditional pay doesn’t make them not slaves.

I’m skeptical the person posting is even a person.

But if they are they’ve likely copied the headline directly because it’s unlikely they typed it out themselves in that manner. It reads exactly like a headline not what someone says themselves upon reposting such an article. They may have added the hate has consequences themselves.

I don’t want to come off as unreasonable but we are being subjected to the most significant domestic and international propaganda efforts ever seen in human history.

There is really no other plausible explanation for leaving the fact they were armed out of the headline other than minimizing the perceived offense to make it seem like an unreasonable punishment.

It’s exactly as you think

white supremacists don’t read past the headline

So you can easily drum up false outrage by presenting the alternate universe these people live in where any ol’ white person might receive 15-20 year prison sentences for just driving past the wrong upset black person

This is the world as presented by almost the entire media news and tech industries who are right wing aligned or actually just owned by individual right wing men outright.

Commercial pectin products often come from processed apple skins, and some other fruits but mostly from the skins anyway, so you’re spot on

No idea if peppers will replicate the stock texture of celery but I imagine it can’t matter too much. You probably have to be extremely sensitive and test a lot of samples to tell the difference for that kind of subtle texture

I personally like celery so I don’t share your problem but I rely more on boiled potatoes anyway in my soups/stews for the starch as a mild thickener. I also love potatoes (:

Edit: here’s a source I used https://pickyourown.org/pectin_levels_in_fruit.php

Not sure if anyone answered the actual question but a reason celery is included is, in addition to being part of the traditional mirepoix, because the pectin content breaks down and results in a just so slightly thicker stock

Ngl this shouldn’t have taken you until 37 to learn that real life isn’t like office romance on tv

Stop hitting on your coworkers

You’ve reached the point they’ve complained about you

You’re the office creep now
