@officialABAT Istg this feels and reads like an English assignment essay on the topic: A greater Nigeria. It's as if they did this a night before the deadline and it clearly shows.

I am almost at the finish line of my residency and I just need to vent for a second.
Nobody talks about how mentally exhausting it is to walk around with this much medical knowledge. You spend years studying every single disease, all the do's and don'ts and every tiny thing that can fail inside a human body. It permanently changes how you see the world.
Even something as simple as eating food becomes stressful because your brain automatically lists out everything that can go wrong.
You are constantly aware of the silent genetic diseases people might be carrying without ever knowing. The sheer amount of random misfortune a person can get hit with is terrifying. It breaks something in you to see a young, active, athletic guy just drop dead out of nowhere. Or watching a completely healthy, happy family get their entire lives devastated by a random diagnosis on a normal afternoon.
Knowing exactly how fragile we all are, and how fast a healthy person can just be gone, takes so much out of you. It makes it incredibly hard to just relax and live your own life when you know exactly what is waiting in the blind spots. It is honestly just exhausting.
I’ve spent many weeks doing fieldwork in Tibet, sitting above these enormous, deeply incised Himalayan river systems and seeing firsthand just how geologically active this landscape is.
So spare me the climate-change grift every time a natural disaster strikes.
Catastrophic glacial outburst floods are not new. The 1981 Zhangzangbo GLOF released ~20 million m³ of water and debris into Nepal, with estimated peak discharge approaching 16,000 m³/s. The Himalayas experienced enormous GLOFs long before today's atmospheric CO₂ concentrations.
If it happened naturally in the past, we should expect it to happen naturally again in the future—regardless of atmospheric CO₂.
Turning a horrific loss of life into an immediate climate-change narrative without demonstrating that CO₂ caused this particular event isn't attribution. It's opportunism.
And the people exploiting tragedy to do it are grifters.
@Yuno__as I saw videos from other perspectives, and, well, let's say people do have it way worse than I do right now.
How's your health tho? I hadn't seen a post from you on my feed, so I thought something happened.
