I have to disagree! I freely mod a conservative sub in my spare time.

It has definitely not been taken over by fascist snowflakes.

That sucks in terms of proving disability in your country (you would be eligible already in mine but since disability here is only half of minimum wage it's not really the solution like it is where you are).

But it's really fantastic that you are able to do so much!! That's way better. You're going to be able to work from home lying down. Lots of cool ideas in here.

I think you should still apply for disability every year. Maybe find a support group or organisation for people with broken necks/spinal injuries, they might know some aspects of the process.

Good luck to you. I know what it's like to lose everything, and I really hope you are able to rebuild some kind of life for yourself.

A CPET is a cardiopulmonary exercise test. The 2 day CPET is when you get the test and then get it again 24 hours later.

People with me/cfs have different results than sedentary controls, so it's a good way of helping prove disability.

If you didn't know what ME/CFS is (myalgic encephalomyelitis) then you haven't been diagnosed with it and none of this applies to you, but I thought it was worth mentioning in case you had.

You can also do temp work, English language teaching, proofreading, data entry.

You may have something different but if you have me/cfs you need to hit up the support groups, you can prove disability with a 2-Day CPET test.

I'm not in the US but many of the Americans in my support group were denied the first time they applied and got it on the second.

there are a lot of unintuitive things going on with the science of climate change

But science isn't intuition-based. It often comes to conclusions that are far from intuitive.

Midlife crisis?

Not that I can find so far.

Despite the boost in numbers, I think making the jump from reddit has been too labour intensive for LC/PASC and ME/CFS communities. It's the one thing I still visit on reddit.

It's not much, but I am beginning to put a bit of data on [email protected], and longhaulers are welcome there. It also collects mastodon toots on related hashtags.

On the surface it is an order. He's using imperative sentence construction with no "please can you" and no question mark.

This is exactly how commands/orders are expressed in English.

"Do this" "Come here" " Go there" "Sit Down" "Give me 20 press ups".
