  • Oh that’s me. I’m tired and bored so I’ll share my story.

    I was “depressed” because of working an abusive toxic job and commuting 2 hours a day for dimes. While at the same time spending my free time in the doomerism of r/fvckcars

    Filled out the doctor’s questionaire and was diagonised with anxiety, and depression. I even had the bottle of pills before the hour was even over.

    Lost the job, and swapped my pass-time from pessimistic r/fvckcars to more optimistics YouTube/notjustbikes

    No more depression, never needed those anti-depressants because it was never a proper chemical depression.

    To many doctors just want to medicate the symptoms and never bother to consider the sickness underneath.


  • Not OC, but some ways to “reduce consumption” are reducing our usage of inefficient technology by replacing it with more energy/resource efficient means.

    Examples include replacing individual automobiles with mass transit, building more dense cities to reduce consumption of construction materials/ vehicle miles, and not training massively large language models in facilities that consume more energy than an entire small country.
