My professional advice is to not be any of those things when shit hits the fan.

Tries to wish lifelong chronic illness away

Have tried being a millionair? That seems to make problems go away quite easily.

[-] FundMECFS@piefed.zip 4 points 1 month ago

Yeah I would still be ill but it would be “oh that sucks and I can afford it” not “my survival is constantly on the line”.

[-] conartistpanda@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I prefer being a millionearth since I walk to places.

you know what has been really funny all my life. laughing at the rich people in the hospital.

oh wait, i'm not that much of a dick. money doesn't keep them from being sick, strangely enough.

[-] Mirshe@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Money does buy access to a lot better treatments, though.

sometimes yes sometimes no. sometimes they throw amazing treatments at you for free if you are willing to be in a trial and money can't get you into those. trust me, i have tried to bribe my way into a few with money i didn't have, and once the best connections in the world couldn't get me in

Those dumbasses build their houses right on the beach, they will ultimately be hit very hard by climate change.

have you tried not being sad?

[-] FundMECFS@piefed.zip 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Damn it how could I forget that 🤦. I’m now magically cured. Thanks ;)

My professional advice is that i expect someone who is involved in environmental prepper groups would be the most protected from climate catastrophe/have the best access to protection when shit hits the fan.

Controversial opinion: I also don't think shit will hit the fan too bad except for certain countries. But the USA, or parts of it, might be one of those countries. And a lot of nations are at risk.

So maybe neither of these things are whitepilling depending on what your illness is and where you live. But i tried

Hard to be in an environmental prepper group if you’re too disabled/chronically ill to leave your bed haha. I’ve just accepted if shit really hits the fan I’m dying.
