A bit of both in my non-expert but local understanding.

I mean, you should be slowing down at least a bit when passing someone pulled over on the side of the road anyways, no? Just like going through a construction zone. It really depends on how much braking we're talking about.

That pattern doesn't really hold though. The third strong enemy becomes a sexy man. Seriously though, it's not the greatest show ever made but it is better than 95% of the isekai trash out there and isn't nearly as formulaic as you seem to think it is.

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.

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.

If that's all you said, I agreed with that part. Why did you keep arguing with me?

I see people doing this so often (on the internet especially) and it honestly baffles me. The best I've ever been able to rationalize it is that people are often far more interested in arguing their own points and saying what they believe than actually listening to and understanding others or having a real debate. That may be overly simplistic but it's how I cope.

It kind of does in context actually, since, if I recall correctly, it was a sacred Native site. So specifically carving the faces of their colonizers into it is extra fucked.

I entirely agree, and that does sound like a good approach. I just caution against presenting recycling as a solution rather than as a reduction of harm.
