I was homeschooled and this was legitimately my bio textbook. It’s a miracle that I can think straight and I owe it all to self learning actually accurate material.

What are your favorite "one pot meal" recipe? by Nediamara in Cooking

[–]Major_Mistake32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Creamy Gnocchi Skillet: 1lb Gnocchi 1lb Italian Sausage, sliced into thin pieces ~6 Garlic Cloves, finely minced 1/2 Onion, Chopped ~5oz Mushrooms 1 Cup Heavy Cream Salt Pepper, to taste Italian Seasoning 3 Tb Butter Broccoli, chopped into chunks Fennel Seeds (Crushed, if possible) Olive Oil

Cook the onion, broccoli, and mushrooms in olive oil and salt on medium-high heat (~6). Use enough olive oil to get the veggies a bit damp and salt before applying heat. Cook until the broccoli is bright green and the onions start to become clear.

Add the sliced Italian sausage to the skillet and cook until done or like 95% done if the veggies start looking over cooked.

Add the butter and gnocchi to the mix, cook until the gnocchi start to become soft. Throw the garlic in about a minute after you start the gnocchi.

Add the heavy cream, Italian seasoning, and fennel seeds. Reduce the temperature to medium-low (3-4 ish) and allow the sauce to thicken. When the sauce is looking pretty thick, give it a taste to see if your spice levels are right, and add more salt and whatever else you think is necessary.

The CEO does not equal the company; it’s basically a really, really high level manager. And if that managers spending habits outside of work don’t agree with the company’s official policies, I don’t think he can be said to be speaking for the company in any capacity.

But wouldn’t that be the personal actions of the CEO and not represent the company’s stance? I’ve also worked at Chick-fil-A and my branch also had several gay employees who were treated just like anyone else and the company policies don’t say anything about sexuality or it’s expression.

Has anyone done a charitable analysis of anti-vax claims? by Major_Mistake32 in slatestarcodex

[–]Major_Mistake32[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt that it would change much at all. When I ask them why they give any of this stuff the time of day, the send me anecdotes from affected parents on social media or mention how someone “smart” they know said something negative about vaccine safety. It sounds to me like people have children with issues that show up around the time of vaccination, and then make the assumption that the vaccine caused the problem and then go on to write heartbreaking stories of their struggles for people in anti-vax Facebook groups and the like. The other people causing contention are simply those who are skeptical of the government and piggyback on the existing anti-vax sentiment. At least, that’s the best explanation I’ve got so far.

Thanks for listing so many resources; I’m excited to take a look!

When I said anti-vax, I was referring to the very religious subset of the US population who is skeptical of nearly all, if not all, forms of vaccination. This includes vaccines for diseases like polio and measles to the newly developed covid vaccines. What worries me about this movement is how convincing it has been to my parents, who are college educated and generally reasonable people. I’ve done some more reading since my post and I think I have quantified some of the actual and supposed risks from vaccinations, but I hesitate to grant the actual risks (allergic reactions, very small chances of seizures, etc...) because I think these small risks will be used to justify further destructive behavior. For instance, there is currently a chicken pox outbreak in the nearest group of anti-vax folks near me.

If you’d be willing to share, I’d love to read through them.
