yeah nothing should be paywalled and westlaw/lexis/bloomberg/all of them should be a public service in fact

This is actually something I think ai will basically solve. Well, not the law as a public service part but the general access to reliable legal information part. I’ve seen the westlaw and lexis lawyer bots and they’re pretty good, a non lawyer could easily rely on it because lawyers already do.

I can’t imagine it takes more than 5 years before we see tailored compliance bots in various fields. AI mediated society is already here

lawyers use Google before anything else. If you’re wondering if what you’re doing is illegal you probably can just look it up and find a decent enough answer

Not sure why people are saying the laws aren’t accessible in America

Here’s the entire federal code of laws

Here’s a repository of every state’s laws

They are often just married to the notion that their principals of liberalism are not mutually exclusive with subjecting capital to public ownership.

I personally find dealing with that separate issue goes nowhere real fast with the average person and alienating them isn’t helpful either so I take what I can get.

ime that only makes liberals even more confused

 

Is it when you use capital letters properly?

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 (:
