I think there's definitely some merit to the idea that mental health in general is the problem, not necessarily just social media. We've become much more aware of and better at diagnosing all sorts of mental illnesses, but at the same time we've done practically nothing to make mental health care accessible. There's a lot of not-so-good things about social media. Forcing teenagers to hand over personally identifying information to companies who are well known to abuse that data is probably not a good solution.

I'm sure they also complain about roads, parking lots, gas stations, drive thrus, and highway onramps. Not.

Not having children doesn't solve anything. That's just an abandonment of the future. It directly harms people who need help - the elderly, those with disabilities and medical conditions, etc.

Even better, don't eat chicken either. Chicken still takes up more land simply by requiring land to grow feed. Anything plant-based will be a better solution.

Rabies kills people. Not vaccinating your pets against it is a moral failure. Honestly it should be compulsory.

" A moderator on the game's Discord server, for instance, said "watching u all cry, amuses me so much," while another said on Reddit that complaints about weapon nerfs were perhaps in reality a question of "skill issue." "

Are you kidding? That's fucking hilarious. Learn to use a different weapon than the railgun you absolute chuffs.

Healthcare accounts for around 1 to 5% of carbon emissions.

Meanwhile, the meat industry accounts for about 35% of carbon emissions.

Yah, healthcare is absolutely not the problem. Feel bad about the environmental impact of your medicine? You could probably make up for it with like one less meat meal a week.

EDIT: Archive.org link to bypass paywall for the article OP linked. Good read; they estimate healthcare as 8% of total emissions. Reading through, it seems it mostly focuses on insulin pens (which are an absolute godsend). I can't help but think that attempting to recycle those is entirely the wrong strategy, and that we should instead focus on reducing diabetes cases in the first place. Losing weight, reducing sat fats, and eating fiber are all correlated with reduction of diabetes risk. I think we need some good old big-government regulation to start penalizing foods that have those things in them. We're all paying the price for them already, time to start making the corporations do it instead.

Posting this seperately: OP, you have a right to feel unsafe. Talk with your other coworkers, then go to managment with a safety plan. You probably can't get this guy fired, but it's completely reasonable to ask for some sort of safeguards, given he's a multiple offender. If you need inspiration, look at the sort of practices medical facilities have: multiple people required to be in the room, clear boundaries being set, agreed-upon followup if rules are broken, etc.

I'm here for this. Make every headline as horny as possible.

I'm sorry, is the article quoting a fucking LLM as the interviewee? What the fuck is this? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

Do not colonize other planets. They suck. They have all the downsides of space habitats (needing sealed environment, etc), while also adding more (breaches now let in toxic dust instead of vacuum, cannot control gravity via spin, etc).

Just build O'Neil cylinders. If you can't do that, maybe work on stabilizing the ecosystem we evolved to live in. Nowhere will ever be better than here, folks.
