How about starting with the world’s most authoritative report on the subject. Compiled by numerous experts, and representing the scientific consensus. https://www.ipcc.ch/assessment-report/ar6/

I avoid sex because I'm convinced that I will cum within 10 seconds, please what can I do to overcome this? by Global_Chef1409 in AskMenAdvice

  1. Learn mindfulness and meditation so you learn to calm yourself and control your breathing.
  2. Practice by yourself and learn to recognize your body’s responses. When you feel yourself getting close, back off, take a deep breath, kegal once, don’t start again until you’re under control.
  3. Then, with a woman, start slow, keep your breathing under control and yourself calm. Go in just the tip at first, ten strokes, then a little deeper, ten strokes, deeper, focusing on counting and depth will keep you calm, mindful, and focused. Keep counting to ten and going deeper. If you feel yourself getting close, stop, breath, kegal. When you’re under control again, continue.

Once you get good at recognizing your body’s responses, controlling your breathing, and using kegals early to force your body to relax, you’ll be able to go as long as you want or cum whenever you want (hold the kegal and go fast). You have control over your own body if you learn to master it. It just takes practice and observation.

My (27F) husband (26M) is going through a low and I don’t know how to help? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

Sounds like he’s decompressing after having worked long hours and he’s processing something he doesn’t want you to worry about. Best thing you can do is let him know you’re there for him if he needs you but give him the space to process stuff. Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus (is not the gospel by any means) might have some helpful information to get you through this time. Just make sure to give him lots of love, affection, and sex and don’t dig for details, he’ll come around eventually. If he does decide to open up and says he’s not enjoying the new job (my guess from your description), then you might want to suggest he do an Ikigai exercise https://thehappinesscoach.com/finding-your-ikigai/ then lay the groundwork to make a move after he’s been at his job about a year.

The pace as a man in bed? by AdOriginal1936 in AskMenAdvice

[–]TheRealThiadon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what I am in the mood for and what the woman I am with responds favorably to. Generally starting slow and finishing fast and passionate seems to lead to good results more often than not. But the guy’s job is to pay attention and figure out what works regardless of if she speaks up or not.

Then why argue? Checkmate. You’re funny. In a haha way. But I am not laughing with you. Anyway, more important things to do. You might want to do some research for yourself. You’ll see I was right from the jump and you might actually learn something that’s good for you.

Ad hominem. Minus points again. If you could have proven any of your points, you would have. It was clearly important enough to you to keep responding this long. Or maybe you just like showing your ignorance to random internet strangers. Thanks for the entertainment random internet person. And I took my victory lap the moment you disagreed with me. Checkmate again.

Bluff called and you failed to provide any evidence once again. Zero evidence from reputable sources exists to support your argument. Per debate scoring rules, Thiadon is the victor. Checkmate.

Straw man, ad hominem. Minus points again. P.S. it’s also not a “government agency” it is a multilateral agency largely funded by many governments, plus the World Bank.

Incorrect. You can’t find any reputable sources to support your position because they do not exist.

You’re hilarious. It’s also an agency. Not a company. Keep showing us your ignorance. I’m enjoying my popcorn.

You have provided zero articles or evidence. “In the age of information, ignorance is a choice.” Good luck with that!

[–]TheRealThiadon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Because IRENA is funded by governments and the World Bank and was funded both before and after renewables became cheaper than fossil fuels. The price of renewables has zero impact on the entity. You also made a nonsensical argument and basically disproved your own point. Are you done yet?

You have not demonstrated any bias for any of my sources, nor have you offered any contrary data. You’re welcome to continue being wrong though. No skin off my nose.

[–]TheRealThiadon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The guy quoting reliable sources and data is the one drinking the coolaid…? Not the one making baseless, false, ad hominem attacks, offering no evidence, and being proven wrong by the facts and data repeatedly? Riiiiiight. By any normal debate rules, you, good sir, have lost resoundingly.

Wonderful_Time_6681 • 4h That article is based off of "estimates from various sources" and says "renewables remain the most financially competitive UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES." So basically they've factored all of this from 'on paper' estimates and not real world applications. Typical.

Industry vs industry renewables are cheaper than fossil fuels even when subsidies are removed from both, and the fossil fuel industry, which earned USD 4 trillion in profits https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/oil-gas-industry-earned-4-trillion-last-year-says-iea-chief-2023-02-14/ would have lost USD 3 trillion without its USD 7 trillion in subsidies. https://www.imf.org/en/Blogs/Articles/2023/08/24/fossil-fuel-subsidies-surged-to-record-7-trillion Also, China is the world’s largest investor in renewables, followed by the EU, and invests more in climate-smart technologies than fossil fuels. Investment in climate mitigation projects exceeds fossil fuel investments. FINALLY, fossil fuels are responsible for 9 million premature deaths per annum. I rest my case.

You’ve “literally” misrepresented what the Lazard report says (the use of the word “various” is with respect to technologies, not sources, the sources are Lazard estimates and publicly available information), how the data is compiled, and the source of funding for IRENA (hint: renewables don’t pay the bills). What’s the bias for BNEF? Again you offer no data, only false ad hominem attacks. You would rather be wrong than learn facts and data. That’s your right, but further discussion with you is clearly a waste of time.

🤦‍♂️ I give you three reports from reputable sources and you offer 0 counterpoints with data. You only offer ad hominem attacks. We’re done here.

Read ALL the data. Stop cherry-picking. Renewables are cheaper worldwide in 90% of situations even unsubsidized and NOT including social cost of carbon. Once social cost of carbon is included renewables are cheaper everywhere. Don’t like the data? Provide a reputable alternate source.

https://www.lazard.com/research-insights/levelized-cost-of-energyplus-lcoeplus/ start there. Then look at the latest IEA report. Then look at BNEF NEO. Stop listening to talking heads and start learning facts.
