The beans in my pantry aren't cooked, genius. I never said anything about them being canned. Got any other bad assumptions or defective math for us?

Beans approximately double to triple in weight when you cook them. For your black beans, it takes about 195g of dried beans to produce a pound (454g) of cooked beans.
Using the numbers you supplied, your beans come out to 1.38 calories/gram, uncooked. 1.38 X 195 = 269 calories/pound, cooked. I hope I don't have to explain the full arithmetic
Volume-wise, that's over a cup of beans, which is waaaay more than I would want to eat at a sitting.

In most modern societies medication is usually a last resort.
You must be joking. Antidepressant use is so widespread in the Scandinavian paradise of Denmark that all the fish are on them too due to how much gets passed into wastewater via the bodies of medicated Danes.

I saw a report that 13.5% of Canada is on antidepressants and 17% of Iceland too.

And since I know you're going to say "but I said cooked!", your figures are for uncooked pulses. I checked against some beans in my pantry.

Legumes, when they are pulses (i.e. dried), are parts of plants you can eat, sure, but no one will think of navy beans as "vegetables". They get treated differently in a number of ways by nutritionists.
There is also a reason why we have terms that distinguish between "root vegetables" (carrots, beets) and "tubers" (potatoes, cassava). OP might have meant "plant based" since fruits (which are not vegetables, I hope we can agree) were probably intended, too, but I go by what people write.
Grain is a fruit, being the edible seeds of plants: corn, rice, wheat, quinoa, etc.
This is pretty easy to look up.

You'd starve: vegetables average around 100 calories a pound.
If you mean veg + tubers and grains, yeah enjoy your starchy diabetes-inducing diet. Oh, beans? Less than 300 calories a pound!

Rassvet? It wasn't done "quietly", having been covered amply in the news.
After a bunch of delays, including unavailability of launch vehicles, they finally got 16 satellites off the ground in March. Only 884 to go for the far less ambitious constellation they're planning. I predict the budget will get eaten up by graft and waste before they hit a quarter of that.

Andor finished almost exactly a year ago, so the quality trend is up, imo, not down.
Even The Acolyte as badly written, cast, and acted as it was, had an absolute topflight villain. I found the series revolting but I'm bummed there wasn't a second season because Manny Jacinto was so compelling as The Stranger.
But I do understand the sentiment. Maybe it's better to view most of Star Wars as camp: a ripped Hutt gladiator is funny as hell, for instance.

You pretty much have to produce content that follows an established formula or audiences won't like it.
Nonsense. Rogue One killed everyone off and was pretty dark, but the numerous Star Wars fans I personally know think it's one of the very best movies in the whole franchise. RT has it at #5 of 12 movies:
