A community/support group for chronically ill people. While anyone is welcome, our number one priority is keeping this a safe space for chronically ill people.

Rules

Be excellent to each other
Absolutely no ableism.
No quackery. Does an up-to date major review in a big journal or a major government guideline come to the conclusion you’re claiming is fact? No? Then don’t claim it’s fact. This applies to potential treatments and disease mechanisms.
No denying or minimising challenges faced by chronically ill people. This is a support group, not a place for people to spout their opinions on disability.

Without Internet I'm Dead (swg-empire.de)

Our internet went down an hour ago and I have to contend with the crappy metered connection in my phone. Really strange feeling how isolated I suddenly am. Took a while until all my family member's phones switched from wifi to mobile.

My laptop, which is my usual connection to the world, is still out. Guess I'll open up a hotspot. Until all my data is gone.

Very humbling.

how'd you get tone from 5 words of text...

also, I asked a question to better understand what they are saying, but fuck me for wanting to know right?

Not everything is an attack. Stop putting your emotions into someone else's words. Looks bad on you.

I am sorry I've offended you. I'll take what you said seriously and watch myself closely in the future to make sure I'm not projecting.

What I was trying to say is that I think it's good to take extra care choosing words and approach when someone is having a hard time. Maybe you did do that, and we just disagree about the result.
