Because I exercise regularly and it is something I can take care of myself?
You can't take care of your friends and families exercise habits yourself.
I have however posted about Long Covid and how it makes me doomerish.
See, it's the flashy stuff again. Long covid is a huge problem, but it's not worse that diabetes or heart disease from a scientific medical perspective, so I just don't understand the attention mismatch unless we're willing to just accept a baseline level of shit and misery.
I wonder why I never put a specific range of years where this would happen, it's almost as if I countless times admitted for uncertainty, it's almost as if I mentioned I might be wrong as well
I mean you admit you could be wrong, which is good. In any case, I'm not taking issue with your statements as wrong (because I don't know if they are) but as unjustified. The claim that a majority of people reading these posts will die of climate adjacent causes may or may not be true, but it is absolutely unjustified based on the current literature. That doesn't make it impossible or even implausible, it just means that the current preponderance of evidence does not point to that as being the most likely outcome, so I don't think we should fixate on it.
Where am I saying this is a constant thing?
I genuine hope it isn't. It's certainly not a rare thing given this is something like the third climate change post I've run into with you in nearly as many days. > Wow this sure would be poignant if it weren't just a regurgitation of my ending statement. Should we start a tally at how many times I've referred to it? It almost seems like you ignore it so you can continue to have a pointless discussion

Semantics again. It is an individual issue, they can solve themselves.
Statistically they won't though.
You are now moving the goalposts again. You were arguing I did not have this worry for other stuff, I explained why, you kept arguing, I showed I had this worry for other stuff
I argued you did not have this worry for things that were objectively killing the most people, and your response to that was to claim you did have this worry about things which was not killing the most people like long covid. I then further noted that you worries about long-covid and climate change share the commonality that they're new, and flashy modes of death, and not the meat-and-potatoes grim-reapers like heart disease that the current science indicates as being the most likely causes of deaths for the people you care about.
Sure seems like you do hope it is, since you keep insisting that is what I believe and feel.
I'm not insisting on that at all, that's just the impression I've gotten from what you said, and am more than happy to be wrong about it.
Holy fuck I love semantic pedantry
Oh come on have a bit of fun with language for a bit will ya that was a self-deprecating joke about viewing one's own statements with charity not extended to others.
I don't see myself as having shifted the goalposts at all, my position this entire time has been that it's important to be very careful about the weight we give to statements like 'climate change is going to kill everyone I love' if we're not going to give people complexes.
I don't even need to think I need to go any further because YoungBelden has already handled the crux of my position here without getting bogged down in the weeds like I tend to.

I mean I don't see them as being equivalent, but that may be one of those irregular verb scenarios.
