That is assuming of course that all the women who said yes are in fact people being truthful and not creeps 'as-a-black-man'ing.

Let's not jump to conclusions... he could be Bi.

My dude, you haven't pissed anyone off here that I can see, you've just gotten overly defensive and are seeing slights where there aren't any. People are disagreeing with you and some may be critical of your responses but that doesn't mean anything is heated. Maybe take a short break from Lemmy and get a glass of water or something? I mean that with 100% sincerity. If you're interpreting these comments as hateful you're probably in a bad headspace and I'm doubtful the internet is going to help.

Of course Anne of Green Gables is set in PEI so really it should have been set there. It would have been even funnier since they could probably outnumber the current population pretty easily if they immigrated en masse.

I mean, I think that's just called science

Well, because it financially supports scammers preying on people is why not. And many medical scams aren't harmless or innocent or may give people a false sense of wellness that can lead to them avoiding real medicine.

Ya, sadly while this is cute it is not in fact true.

Yes and no. I can't speak to the particulars of this situation but differences in means matter even if they currently produce the same outcome. A toothless dog and a dog in a muzzle are different in important ways.

Organic does not mean pesticide free. It just means they use so called 'organic pesticides' which are just as bad or worse, but they're 'naturally derived' which sounds better to some people. It's marketing BS. Any agricultural practice at scale uses pesticides and all produce should be washed before consumption.

I'm not a doctor or even well read on the subject but my understanding is that: a) it's not, and b) it's a rather different texture/stiffness.

You often can't though unfortunately. Most plastics can only be recycled a handful of times before they degrade too far. Recycling, while better than nothing, is a far more inefficient and flawed process than it is often presented as. That's why it is far better to reduce usage in the first place and reuse things as is where you can. Of course this is all still easier said than done.

It's not a competition, they can both be shit.
