If a community isn’t safe for trans people, it’s not safe for anyone. The mob just hasn’t gotten around to abuse you yet.

IDK why hydrogen just hasn't captured any mind share. Seems like a great technology.

It’s great science but it’s hard technology.

It almost requires extremely high pressure or cryogenic storage and it diffuses through everything.

I’m realizing that at least part of what I meant was, I miss the 90s club scene. But I’m def going to try and catch up a bit!

If you cry fowl you probably need to see a doctor to get your tear ducts checked out.

I agree with you. In fact we had important data about this going back to the early 1900s.

But convincing people of it back then was tough going. Even scientists. It only really started being obviously undeniable (which is a higher bar than merely very likely) in the early 1990s. And we didn’t always do a very good job selling it to be honest.

TBF there are a lot of unintuitive things going on with the science of climate change, such as the precise role of greenhouse gas absorption/emission spectra in trapping heat, that even with a strong general science background it’s not immediately obvious what the driving factors are.

Add to that the (deliberate) but plausible sounding misinformation and you have a deadly cocktail of not quite correct pseudoscience to drown in.

I understand being a climate skeptic, up until a certain point in time. There were still a lot of things that were unclear and the reporting was muddled and there was lots of conflicting information floating and even in supposedly well informed publications. But there really is no excuse after 2004 or so.

When my home instance was defederated from hexbear (you can’t fire us, we quit!), it was like someone turned off a noisy fan that had been bothering you for days. It’s the best thing that ever happened to us.

That said, I come to Lemmy.ee once in a while to see what’s going on in the wider fediverse, so I’m ok with you guys starting federated with everyone as long you can stand it. As long as I do 99% of my browsing somewhere else.
