Do you remember which model you got? I’m gonna go down the rabbit hole of reading reviews and checking specs :P

The problem with carbon capture is that yes it exists, but is not nearly close to good enough for our needs. Add to that the fact that we physically do not have enough materials on Earth to implement it on the scale required and that becomes a tough pill to swallow.

I’m hopeful that some farming techniques may be promising and that not everyone’s going to die, but relying on technology that doesn’t really work yet seems foolish.

At any rate I’m not gonna sit around and twiddle my thumbs, I’m probably going to become an activist this summer instead and see where that takes me

I appreciate the advice and I am considering therapy right now.

I’m unsure about returning to my previous “carpe diem”-esque lifestyle, because at the moment I am pretty convinced that disaster is coming within the decade and I’m afraid that every moment will be tainted by this fear. I also don’t know if I want to talk to other people about this, because I don’t want to push this onto them and make them feel the same way as I do now.

And yes, every generation thought they’d be the last but I do think ours is in a bit of a more dire situation. Maybe that’s just a dumb take on my part, but that’s how I feel at the moment.

Sorry for basically dumping all my yucky feelings right now but I guess it had to come out somehow and I’m not waking up my roommate at 4AM

Thank you for the advice. I was planning on getting more informed on the topic so as to be able to talk to others about it better, because right now I think it would come across as incohesive rambling.

As to the part about me as an individual not being able to fix anything, while on one hand that is true and I already do what I can personally, the one thing I can try to do is to get more people involved because it feels like we’re a train hurtling towards a cliff and two people on board even know where we’re heading.

To be honest I am quite young and now it feels like most of the meaning in my life is ruined, and I don’t think I can go back to how I was before. My plan for now is making trying my best to avert what’s coming my life quest, but I don’t know how that will make me.

I’m sorry for ranting but I guess I am quite emontionally distressed now, which is kind of the first time this happens to me and I don’t know how to process it.

Thanks for your time and sorry again!

Thanks for all the advice! My sleep schedule is already all over the place so I might as well try the naps during the day tactic. I was also considering removing my duvet but the main problem is that i wouldn’t have anywhere to store it, but I’ll find a way (until now i kind of balled it up at the end of the bed).

My condolences for the poorly designed house/apartment, stuff really sucks especially now that both winter and summer are getting more extreme
