shanekandy··on Organic foods are not healthier or pesticide free
Does no one think this is a little strange and suspicious? This blog post from 2024 is citing another blog post that cites a survey with a sample of 813 people in the UK, but without an actual link to the survey. And while dancing around with other things is of course a pro glyphosate argument.

I think there is a difference between avoiding all pesticides, and say avoiding glyphosate, which is why I prefer the buy the organically grown version or some vegetables. If anyone wants to chow down on glyphosate, knock yourself out, but so what if other people are paying a little more to not. That's their prerogative. Everyone can have what they want. What is this blog even arguing?

shanekandy··on Tell HN: JPMorgan Chase forcing arbitration agreement to log in
While that's true in some regard, there are alternatives. I joined a local credit union for my banking over a decade ago and I have never looked back. There is a nationwide network, so I can bank anywhere. I have not noticed much if any difference from investment banks in any negative way. It's nice to know that my money is working in the community and that I'm an owner!

shanekandy··on Johnny Knoxville’s Last Rodeo
"Johnny Knoxville was 29 when Jackass hit MTV in 2000, and by then he'd already been dyeing his graying hair brown for a few years. His father had been 19 when his own head turned white, so Knoxville was prepared."

Interesting!
