    I remember when Physics Girl took Shell money to promote hydrogen powered cars.

    It was very suspicious that they never talked about how the hydrogen was produced.

      And certainly never about the price of hydrogen. It’s either running the car on fossil fuels with extra steps, or on solar and wind electricity with extra steps. Extra steps cost a lot.

      I find her suspicious in general. She sends up some red flags for me, but maybe I’m just being a misogynistic hater without realizing it. Also, she and the Christian military dude (SmarterEveryDay?) have weird chemistry. I’ve asked YouTube to stop showing me anything from them so I’m not an expert. They both kinda creep me out, I don’t know.

        Dustin (SmarterEveryDay) has weird energy and not in a good way. It comes off as a little creepy.

        I know he and Diana met at some YouTube function and have done collaborations. Even though I know their friends IRL, it was still a bit creepy to me that he went to visit her while she had long COVID right after she got married.

        I will say that she didn’t show any red flags for me until after she did the hydrogen cars series. I know creators have to get paid but still…it was like when Aubrey Plaza took Dairy Farmers money and did a commercial for milk.

        Very off brand for both of them and lost a whole lot of respect when they did it.

          Yeah, for sure. Having been around both evangelicals (especially) and Mormons a lot, I’m pretty sensitive to the “subtle” proselytizing and hate it. And it really comes off to me as if he has a thing for her and is being kinda weird about it, as repressed Christian guys are wont to do (speaking from past personal experience).

          I didn’t know anything about the hydrogen stuff until the earlier comment.

        Fucking hell state of the world.

        Someone can dislike a woman without being misogynistic. Calling every guy that dislikes any particular woman misogynistic is just sexist. Don’t be scared of offending sexists.
