  • your op :

    140k deaths related to renewable energy accidents (hydro, wind, geothermal)

    Then :

    The chinese claim only 26k deaths some estimates place it at 260k deaths i’m not being exact its a ballpark. No one source tracks all deaths from renewables or fossil fuels or nuclear. 52 dams collapsed not one.

    ~130k people died directly from this event. The other ~10k is a rough estimate on other deaths from similar incidents

    So now, the claim has gone from all renewable sources causing 140k deaths, to just dams causing 26k or 260k + 130k from a specific event + 10k from "similar incidents.

    Anywhere between 166k to 400k for hydro, which is more than 140. At this rate, wind and geothermal are CAUSING between 26k and 260k births.

    And then you threw up some graph where it shows that hydro makes up about a 1/3rd of power generation from renewables, and claimed non-hydro was responsable for 50% of renewable energy generation, which has no bearing on the number of deaths you’re talking abut.

    And now you’re throwing an attack on me claiming I said things about nuclear, when I have done no such thing.

    Are you all good? Everything fine at home?

















  • I’ve dealt with this kind of depression before. You need to balance between “productive” sources of pleasure and generically fun, easy , meaningless sources of pleasure.

    “Productive” pleasure doesn’t mean you have to start a side hustle, just something more memorable and meaningful thank a quick hit of pleasure.

    For me , the most minimal version was instead of playing randomly generated rougelikes, it was playing 3d games with a plot I had to pay attention to, or a film I had to pay attention to.

    Obviously, the more involved and challenging the pleasurable activity is, the more you feel like you’re growing yourself as a person. But to get the ball rolling you can try that. Then you can work on developing a skill, like painting, or music or something else. Maybe you want to learn a sport.

    For me I worked up from playing Fallout: New Vegas, to playing the guitar more, to programming personal projects.
