If a drug company found out celery juice lowered blood pressure, don't you think they would distill that poo poo down into pill form and patent it, then sell it to you for $3 a pill. Pretty sure most people would happily buy the pill instead of blending, then drinking down a glass of celery juice a day. Besides celery isn't exactly free, how much does that giant glass of celery juice cost a day? Looks like a whole stalk of celery in a glass. Plus the cost of labor it's going to be way over $3. My effort alone is worth more then $3. Look, I have a garden in my yard where I grow vegetables, I understand how awesome it is to eat fresh, ripe foods. I like working outside, pulling weeds, and puttering around in nature and I think it's pretty rad. But, some people take this poo poo just way too far.

 How is the fact that someone doesn't find your constant rants against Monsanto interesting count as censorship on the part of Facebook? Speech suppression?

They completely forget that if even if a pharmaceutical company was as mustache twirlingly evil and did come up with a cure that worked on multiple forms of cancer, it'd very much be in their interests to market the hell out of that cure just to have that credit of Company that Cured Cancer and massive Nobel prizes for the scientists who worked on it. Something that big'd have them able to surf that success to the point they could hold a kick a baby for distance contest outside corporate headquarters with full media coverage and people'd still be 'but they cured Cancer'.

sassassin posted:Personally I would prefer everything be labelled and would choose non-halal because the animals suffer less. non-halal and halal meat are killed exactly the same way except for the presence of someone/a-recording saying 'allah' when the animal is killed. You (and many others) are conflating "dhabihah halal" and "halal", "dhabihah halal" meat cannot be stunned. When meat is sold as 'halal' is it almost always NOT dhabihah halal, and thus has been killed exactly the same way as non-halal meat. It can be convienient to conflate the two forms of halal, because it makes muslims look worse, when most muslims do not care about the super strict fundamentalist definition of halal.

It matters to Sikhs, who cannot eat any "ritually slaughtered" meat. Stunning does not come into the equation there. The vast majority of UK meat is stunned, halal or not.

Complaining about the Funnyman posting something not funny is like complaining about Titanic Guy talking about things involving Titanic. The point is he presents some of the most inane things imaginable as hilarious funny jokes. Also I'm very sorry for starting this thread on a new descent into its own rear end.

 I wanted to leave the first name, but she has kind of an uncommon name so it'd be pretty easy to find on first name only. But I left the 'a' un-blocked out so you can really get the full effect of this post. No, I didn't gently caress up the image editing. Her name only has one a in it

It's origin, as a slur, is a conspiracy theory from a US fundamentalist Christian Preacher (I forget the name) that states immigration and political correctness are a ploy to use muslims to destroy western civilisation (the oldest versions of this conspiracy theory explicitly states the Jews are behind this plot) so it can reliably used as an indicator the person is either an idiot or a massive arsehole.

Because juice is literally magic. Apparently. I don't know, I know people who religiously juice all sorts of stuff because reasons and nutrients. A lot of it goes back to wellness centers and stuff like "this particular blend of juices will cure X ailment and rebalance Y thing." It comes down to marketing; juice companies managed to convince people that juice is magic so a lot of people have glommed onto it.

HairyManling posted:Tell her that when she smokes this one she's releasing all that stored CO2 back into the atmosphere. Many strains of cannabis are actually bred to produce very little THC and focus on the production of hemp fiber, which is pretty useful for things that aren't eating your weight in nachos. So it's not all that stupid. The rest of those images make up for it, though.

So... Does she not know how to spell her own name? What's with the discrepancy between her claiming to have two a's when her name is clearly listed with only one? Because someone miscounting letters in their own name while postig something asserting they are of superior intelligence is delicious.
