no authority to investigate and punish him for expressing scientific opinions
Saying that ivermectin is an effective treatment for COVID-19 is not a "scientific opinion", it's a lie. We have enough good data at this point to know that. Him telling his patients that they ought to do their research is rich.
I'm more shy on the Internet than in person, but I understand your generalization.
Yes, my love, I do sometimes advise people to try therapy when I need to place a boundary.
I wasn't trying to be mean, sorry. I started therapy for myself despite having no specific problem to work on and found it very helpful. I do recommend it.

Equating IQ to overall intelligence is fruitless. It's like asking the weather and only taking the temperature.

One of the forms of trust in Marketplace is how long the person's Facebook account has existed, how many friends they have, and whether there are photos. If you create a burner account with no photo, no connections, and "Joined Facebook in 2024", you'll have a rough start.
I have had people show up who don't match the account and they say it's their partner or whatnot, never phased me.
If you do decide to make an account, push people to rate your interactions after you make a successful purchase. After 3 messages are sent back and forth, you get an option to rate the seller and buyer. Just tell them you rated them well and would like a rating as you are new to Marketplace.
I do hate Facebook for what it is, but even here in Canada where Kijiji was once king, Marketplace has taken over. I care about the used market (and the positive effects on the environment) too much to pass it up.
He's probably the guy at my work who replies all to tell people not to reply all.
Yes, CCU capacity is around 800,000 and they don't hit it (often?) Any queue on a peak time (evening on weekends) would be very short.
This comment somehow satisfied my brain and I didn't click the article.
Speak for yourself! I don't immediately think plural when "they" is used.
