Have you thought to see what other things are in the same category (IARC 2B) before contributing to the misinformation? It includes such "noxious" things as aloe vera and working as a carpenter or dry cleaner. It's basically meaningless other than "there is a small body of weak evidence suggesting it may have some effect on cancer and we think there should be more research".

also, telling someone they should feel bad and stupid (along with the other language you used) is a bit rough for a discussion on artificial sweeteners

Nope, sorry. If you're a moron contributing to health misinformation you deserve the abuse you get. Too many good people died because of them - I don't even care if you're stupid or malicious anymore, I have no patience for either.

I have particular contempt for OP jUsT aSkInG qUeStIoNs with their "Make of that what you will". It's cowardly, slimy and shameful - if you're going to be an idiot at least have the conviction to stand by it.

I believe it is demonstrable that social science as a field has been a victim of intense ideological capture

"I don't like how facts hurt my feelings so I choose to ignore them"

What a truly fascinating way to view the world.

If you actually believe that, surely you're not going far enough though? You can follow your logic to its conclusion:

People need water that isn’t full of whatever runoff dupont feels like dumping in 10 miles up the river

Actually, some people have no water at all. We should literally expend no effort into cleaning up water until every single human on the planet has access to some form of water.

People need shelter that doesn’t make them unable to afford food.

Actually, some people can afford neither food or shelter, and so we should not expend any effort in providing them with shelter until every single human on the planet has access to food.

It's almost like we're a complex society that can address more than one societal issue at a given point.

not wanting to pay a subscription fee

It's a one-time $20. It's literally in the meme were both commenting on.

Maybe wherever you live. In first world countries, it's fairly straightforward.

Thank god we've got people like you to incessantly whine about it and show how little they care by commenting about how they don't care.

Not at all more obnoxious than the original post.

supreme court legislation

The supreme court does not legislate. No court of any kind should be legislating. That's the damn problem.

The reason the US is in the position it's in is because while the rest of the world was going through its bodily autonomy revolution and democratically legislating abortion access, the US relied on a judicial decision (without a lawmaker being involved) based on a fragile foundation of "right to privacy".

It it as utterly terrifying as it looks too an outsider?

Pretending you're blind and deaf to popular culture (to the extent where you claim to have never heard of one of the best-selling artists of all time) is an order of magnitude more cringe and obnoxious than people who obsess over celebrities.
