    ... I guess there really isn't a good answer beyond "bully councils and governments to fund real healthcare, train laypeople to learn what doctors ACTUALLY do, and decide what I consider livable.")

  36. @daedalean @jwcph the more I deal with anyone at work, the more I realise most allistic people need to literally see consequences right in front of their noses before ... idk, "allowing themselves...?" to see that you were right.

    There is no win condition in my experience. I hope there is for other people, but for me, saying something meant getting blamed and saying nothing meant getting insulted.

    It's not enough to communicate a problem brewing.
    You need to do so politely (in a way that doesn't imply Any Blame for their fragile fucking egos),
    at the right time (so they aren't distracted or irritable and will blame you for "not explaining it right"),
    in a way that they understand (ideally through aphorisms and/or making pop culture references to things you had forced down your throat for decades),
    *and* you need to be Someone They Respect.

    So get fucked if you're disabled, BIPoC, queer, immigrant, ND, etc or even just ONE of these things.

    Oh, and have the right accent and be conventionally attractive -- but not too much, you %$£^%.

  40. @daedalean @jwcph the more I deal with anyone at work, the more I realise most allistic people need to literally see consequences right in front of their noses before ... idk, "allowing themselves...?" to see that you were right.

    There is no win condition in my experience. I hope there is for other people, but for me, saying something meant getting blamed and saying nothing meant getting insulted.

    It's not enough to communicate a problem brewing.
    You need to do so politely (in a way that doesn't imply Any Blame for their fragile fucking egos),
    at the right time (so they aren't distracted or irritable and will blame you for "not explaining it right"),
    in a way that they understand (ideally through aphorisms and/or making pop culture references to things you had forced down your throat for decades),
    *and* you need to be Someone They Respect.

    So get fucked if you're disabled, BIPoC, queer, immigrant, ND, etc or even just ONE of these things.

    Oh, and have the right accent and be conventionally attractive -- but not too much, you %$£^%.

  41. hmm. What if we restricted all insurance companies to a non-profit model?

    Or "yes save money / save for the future up to [whatever amount] per [whatever timeframe] with [whatever exceptions]"?

    Anything above that, divert to researching and resolving health conditions or circumstances.
    Allocate that surplus towards the conditions or situations proportionally, of which ones waste or limit the most healthy life years per capita.
