Well she is in Canada. Still probably better healthcare than most Nova Scotians, too, though.

one always thinks of a plurality of people

Speak for yourself! I don't immediately think plural when "they" is used.

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.

IQ is sort of bullshit, but it's a measurement.

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

Maybe show your posts to a therapist and get an unbiased take?

Depending on the comfort level of your spouse, asking them to use their account would be best.

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.
