Healthy people who faced little suffering live longer?
- Comment on Rich ppl live longer 5 days ago:
That was exactly what I did lmfao. It was technically incorrect, so I made it technically correct lol.
- Comment on Rich ppl live longer 6 days ago:
Good point, has any good prospective study been done on this? Seems like something that really should be studied with methodology that can prove or disprove causation.
- Comment on Rich ppl live longer 6 days ago:
I really agree. The decline in methodology and proper hedging (not overstating) is really appalling. It feels like science publishing has become about marketing your paper not trying to uncover the “truth”…
- Comment on Rich ppl live longer 6 days ago:
The other month in our field we got a paper where they surveyed people sick with a chronic illness and people who had recovered from that illness. They found the recovered people had better mental health than those who were ill.
The authors in all their wisdom decided that means mental health causes the illness. It apparently didn’t cross their mind that being chronically ill is not fun so you have worse mental health and being recovered is comparatively great so you have better mental health.
Now some right wing chuds are citing this silly study to try and paint the illness as fake.
- Comment on Rich ppl live longer 6 days ago:
Many literal scientists assume the correlations they find are causative without much thought. Definitely a pervasive problem the assumption of correlations as causations.

Science journalism quality is so absurdly low I don’t even bother to read a “science” article I just read the paper they’re talking about.

- Comment on Doorless showers just make a mess and everything ends up wet 1 week ago:
Ah I see the confusion.
The walk in shower in my old appartment had no lip, and my current appartment has a 30cm lip.
i assumed all walk in showers were without the lip but it seems I was wrong.
- Comment on Doorless showers just make a mess and everything ends up wet 1 week ago:
I’m sorry I’m unable to share where I live because of privacy concerns. But it’s very nice that you’re trying to help. Hope you have a nice day, cheers :)
(I have however spent a long time exploring all the possibilities and am fairly certain there isn’t much to do for now, bar moving which since I’m rent controlled would probably be impossible financially ahah. So more just a reality of being disabled and unable to work under the system than something that can be fixed at an individual level unfortunately).
- Comment on Doorless showers just make a mess and everything ends up wet 1 week ago:
Yeah can’t afford that either. Can’t install anything because I’m renting, can’t be anything but renting because I’m disabled.
And the legal system I live under doesn’t have any law to make landlords follow accommodations…
- Comment on Doorless showers just make a mess and everything ends up wet 1 week ago:
need to be able to lay in the shower. Elevated threshold makes that impossible.
- Comment on Doorless showers just make a mess and everything ends up wet 1 week ago:
As a disabled person who can’t sit or stand up doorless showers are my holy grail I could finally feel fucking clean instead of relying on sponge baths.
I could never afford it though and being severely disabled means I’m poor so yay capitalism.

fuck any Landlord
who says you can’t work from home because god forbid you use your home that you pay them for because you’d cause a bit more wear and tear than they would like.Landlordism is in itself unethical. If you’re not using a home it belongs to the person who is making use of it. You shouldn’t have rights to leech wealth from them in perpetuity.
- Comment on take their money and arrest those responsible 5 weeks ago:
Exactly. Don’t spare the governments.
in fact this is in the lead of the shell wikipedia page:
Measured by both its own emissions, and the emissions of all the fossil fuels it sells, Shell was the ninth-largest corporate producer of greenhouse gas emissions in the period 1988–2015.
Which makes the graph sort of misleading. Nationalising or abolishing shell wouldn’t solve the problem. It might help, but we need wayy wayyy wayyyy more than that.
- Comment on It is not an issue 1 month ago:
No worries, just be aware that like most chronic illness communities they are riddled with dodgy medical views. People all have their theories and their pet supplements when in reality we just don’t know.
but the useful thing is being in a group of people who suffer similarly, if you can get past the annoying alt-med, everyone cosplaying as a biologist, thing.
- Comment on It is not an issue 1 month ago:
Yeah. Definitely I wouldn’t shy away from joining Long COVID communities and the like. They will be helpful probably. BTW, do you experience PEM?
- Comment on It is not an issue 1 month ago:
The first. Before COVID infection I was a healthy young person doing 30 hours of sports a week, since getting COVID I’ve been unable to leave my bed suffering from dozens of symptoms vomiting every day getting loads of infections because apparently my immune system called quits.
And just to be clear. While I initially faced disbelief from loads of doctors. I eventually found one specialised in long COVID who confirmed this and then I was confirmed when I had to go through the 1000 loops of hell to get disability income. So I’m not pulling this out of my arse.
(And frankly the “Actually it’s probably just stress” is the sort of minimising and harmful prejudicial attitude that’s hurting advocacy efforts and making it hard for long COVID to be taken seriously by the general public.)
- Comment on It is not an issue 1 month ago:
Definitely possible, but harder/nearly impossible to verify.
Anyways long COVID isn’t one illness, it’s an umbrella term for health problems following a COVID infection. It can mean anything from COVID triggered Autoimmune diabetes to loss of smell after COVID.

Wish it was just corrupt judges. But this is coming from most of the poltiical class
- Comment on It is not an issue 1 month ago:
It is if it followed a COVID infection.
- Comment on It is not an issue 1 month ago:
Same. ME/CFS triggered by COVID.
And most doctors are useless about it refuse to believe it.
