  • Uncircumcised penis owners, did you ever wish you were circumcised?

  • Cheers 🍻 and I appreciate it, but it’s all good! It’s a reasonable assumption to make, given the context

  • Government told to prepare for 2C warming by 2050

    Jump

  • Yeah, it can get messy, depending on which data source you’re looking at, or if one article pulls from multiple different data sources. But I agree, any increase in coal use is a bad thing, and certainly no one should be building new coal plants, and we should be retiring existing coal plants ahead of schedule.

    Seeing the recent news that renewables has overtaken coal for global energy supply makes me happy, but there’s still so much work that needs to be done.

  • Yeah, that’s fair

  • I’m not arguing that coal use isn’t growing. Rather, I’m saying that the assumptions researchers made when making the RCPs, about the availability of coal and the rate at which its use would increase, do not line up with what actually happened. As well, the price of renewables has dropped faster than was previously expected. So I’m just saying we shouldn’t base our understanding of where we are and where we’re headed on outdated and flawed models.

    This article is a few years old, but it gets into the weeds about RCP 8.5, if you’re interested: https://www.carbonbrief.org/explainer-the-high-emissions-rcp8-5-global-warming-scenario/

  • It is broad, yeah. And I can’t speak for everyone, but speaking from my own experience, I certainly resent that my parents made that decision for me. Especially given that there’s no medical reason for it, I don’t see any reason why someone should violate someone else’s bodily autonomy like that.

    Edit: also, not a boy :)

  • We are not still on track for RCP 8.5. That pathway was based on continuing growth in coal use that was seen in the early 2000s that didn’t continue. And the dramatic drop in price for renewables and batteries is already having an impact, and the energy transition will continue. (Whether the US likes it or not.)

    I’m not trying to pretend everything is fine, it’s absolutely not, but we need to be realistic about what our trajectory is. Right now, I think we’re on track for 3C by 2100, closer to RCP 4.5 or RCP 6, which is still awful. But it shows that we have made progress relative to 20 years ago, and there is still plenty more work to be done. Every fraction of a degree matters, and I’m not throwing in the towel yet.

  • If you want your child to resent you for mutilating them with unnecessary surgery without their consent, go for it. If you want to be a good parent, don’t.

  • Sink it is, then.

  • Do you believe in Supernatural things?

    Jump

  • No. But I try not to cling too hard to that belief. There may be supernatural things that I haven’t experienced or seen evidence of. So I don’t actively believe in the supernatural, but I won’t rule out the possibility either.

  • I completely believe that. Actually sounds like a pretty tasty way to keep down pests and have an additional income stream

  • New York City mayoral candidate Mamdani says he’d help landlords foot the bill for Local Law 97 building retrofits

    Jump

  • On one hand, fuck landlords. They have plenty of money to do these upgrades. They just don’t want to.

    On the other, more practical, hand, combining a carrot and a stick is probably the most effective way to actually get this done. And, to be fair to Mamdani, his proposal is much better than Cuomo or Sliwa’s ideas on Local Law 97.

  • What fuel will ships burn as they move toward net zero?

    Jump

  • In a hypothetical future, I think using “excess” renewable energy during the day to run electrolyzers to make green hydrogen makes sense. I’m not sure how hydrogen stacks up against methanol or ammonia fuels though.

  • How do you kick the Reddit habit?

  • Use an app or some other web blocker to stop yourself from loading the site. And when you have the addiction itch and get blocked, try to remember that you’re blocking it for a reason, and you don’t actually want to go there. It’ll take a while for your brain to adjust, but after a few days or weeks, you won’t even try to go there any more. YMMV, but that worked for me.

    Thanks so much, Mom, for thinking that prayer and church are the way to fix things, not medication and therapy 🙃

  • Judith Butler warns that society must resist right-wing transphobia, or else... - LGBTQ Nation

    Jump

  • I don’t know, the idea of initiating conversations with conservatives about whether they think I deserve rights or not (when they probably don’t think I do), does not sound like a good time, nor do I expect it to be particularly fruitful.

    I don’t know how we get out of this, but I don’t think putting myself in hostile situations and arguing is going to be effective, you know? I think conservatives will only turn on Trump when they are personally negatively impacted by his actions. Appealing to their empathy and logic isn’t going to work, because they didn’t logic themselves into supporting him and they think empathy is woke bullshit.
