The reason is I often aren't able to respond to comments for some time and the unanswered comment can scare people who come to this post for help on something else
Also even when answered the comment may scare them because they see it first.
It works much better to put comments on other topics on a special post for them.
It is absolutely fine to digress and go off topic in conversations here - this is specifically about things you want help with that might scare people.
PLEASE DON’T TELL A SCARED PERSON THAT THE THING THEY ARE SCARED OF IS TRUE WITHOUT A VERY RELIABLE SOURCE OR IF YOU ARE A VERY RELIABLE SOURCE YOURSELF - AND RESPOND WITH CARE
This is not like a typical post on substack. It is specifically to help people who are very scared with voluntary fact checking. Please no politically motivated exaggerations here. And please be careful, be aware of the context.
We have a rule in the Facebook group and it is the same here.
If you are scared and need help it is absolutely fine to comment about anything to do with the topic of the post that scares you.
But if you are not scared or don’t want help with my voluntary fact checking please don’t comment with any scary material.
If you respond to scared people here please be careful with your sources. Don’t tell them that something they are scared of is true without excellent reliable sources, or if you are a reliable source yourself.
It also matters a lot exactly HOW you respond. E.g. if someone is in an area with a potential for earthquakes there’s a big difference between a reply that talks about the largest earthquake that’s possible there even when based on reliable sources, and says nothing about how to protect themselves and the same reply with a summary and link to measures to take to protect yourself in an earthquake.
Can you reply to me about something, are there any successful stories of native bee conservation, like on saving the american bumble bee, and I dont mean honeybees.
It's not what it seems, they mis reported it. That one is from 2016, people weren't asking for help on insects back then but by the time of their 2019 report they were and that one was also hugely misreported in the news, it's mixed some improvements some the same some declining depending on the habitat and geographical region - and there is a lot we can do to make things easier for insects, they don't need large habitats it's often about setting aside small strips for them and being careful about insecticides. For the 2019 report see my:
BLOG: UN report is far from bleak
— an encouraging survey of measures being used to preserve biodiversity
— many knowledge gaps and issues but also much we can do
Your second link is about a very geeky detail that bumblebees don't automatically select the best diet for them but it is about lab experiments enriching pollen with amino acids, sugars, fats, lipids.
The paper is behind a paywall and it doesn't tell us much about real world situations.
I don't know if the full paper makes recommendations but since it is just a lab based experiment then it probably can't be used to do much by way of recommendations.
Can you please in future comment on the post I set aside for off topic comments since this is nothing to do with tsunamis?
If that is getting too crowded for me to find comments I need to start another one again.
PLEASE DON'T COMMENT ON THIS POST WITH POTENTIALLY SCARY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY OTHER TOPIC:
