4 days later and some folk still don’t have power or water. In Jan that’s dangerous especially for vulnerable people.

Minor roads blocked by fallen trees and some schools still closed.

Can’t help but feel if this was the SE the response would have been…more..

Yeah. My brain was clear, my post was not 🤣

I agree, but I think it’s happening more and more. When I get some time, I want to look into this a bit more.

I’m also really pissed off because I wasted reading/thinking/writing time on this BS 🤬

Oh, I agree! I may discuss this paper in the future, but not as a ref but rather as an example of what not to do and why it is so problematic

🤣🤣🤣😭

Yep, agree. What it says to me is that the author did not read, he simply used AI to summarise findings, summaries that are usually simplistic and wrong (plus plagiarised). Plus using a nature destroying tech to ‘write’ about nature issues. JFC

And neither is the original author 🥺

I probably should. Especially as this study has been PR’d and written about in various papers. It’s just so disappointing. I agree with the discussion/concluding comments but can’t trust the validity of the modelling 😵‍💫😭

I will discuss this paper in the future. But not in the current write up. If the refs are wrong, how can I trust the rest of it? As this was a modelling paper, that coding is very important. But is it correct? And therefore, are the results valid? Sigh.

If you do see a traumatic video by accident, please make sure to immediately do something to help your brain, like TETRIS. (Yes, seriously.) TETRIS has been shown to help mitigate the mental effects of trauma because it intervenes in traumatic memory formation.

Tetris used to prevent post-traumatic stress symptoms
A single dose psychological intervention, which includes using the computer game Tetris, can prevent the unpleasant, intrusive memories that develop in some people after suffering a traumatic event.
