World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

If conservatives gave a damn about kids and sex crimes, these lists should have caused enough public rage to burn the party to the ground.
It didn't. So republican are unassailably the party of sex offenders and those who support sex offenders.
The civil war never ended. The South just kept waging it through other means.
And now they're in control of the government and do what they always wanted- destroy it. That has been the outspoken agenda of the right wing conservatives for the better part of a century.
Starve the beast, small government, all that shit is them saying: we don't want democracy, we want to rule as colonial lords, own slaves, and to hell with elections.
How people still don't realize this is fucking mind boggling.
There is no "two party state", there is only one party that believes in democracy and rule of law at all, the other is a christofascist-anarchist terrorist cell hellbent on unraveling society where might is right, so that they can rule with impunity like feudal lords.
That's it.
Lincoln should have had every single one of them rounded up and shot after the war. You don't skip the last dose of penicillin or you might as well not have taken it at all.
Given that he was killed during Reconstruction, I'd put that on Andrew Johnson (a Southern Democrat) and the Congress.
tbf, Grant was pretty ruthless in his post-war pursuit of Confederate holdouts. He didn't have them shot, though, they were mostly hung.
The problem is that it is very hard to eradicate an idea violently. It just goes into hiding and bides its time, unless you just want to do a full genocide or something. I mean, it's not like people stand up and volunteer for their own execution when they know certain folks are being executed.
I think you narrow it down to owners of gray suits and go from there
100% this.
The children of Confederate losers have been stropping their knives for decades, undermining our institutions, and fomenting dissent along every avenue. They are a cancer.
Every damn day reminds us that Sherman needed to make a second pass.
The civil war merged with the cold war, essentially
As an aside, there's growing evidence that not taking the full course of antibiotics if the infection is already resolved is the best course of action.
I believe the theory is that by continuing to take the antibiotics, you kill off the bacteria that isn't drug resistant and just leave the drug resistant bacteria behind.
And you have sources? Because last time I checked this was the worst way of doing it, as you leave enough bacteria to try and mutate into resistivity.
If you already had resistant bacteria, taking antibiotics wouldn't heal you for long anyway, tried it first hand a few months ago.

There you go. And some quotes from the article:
This is an interesting finding, but there are two important things to keep in mind: they only reviewed some illnesses, and even there one had better cure rate for longer treatment, this means we need a lot more studies. And another one I will quote from the article you linked:
Considering that many will not be able to ask a doctor on time to stop early, both because it may cost extra and because there's usually a waiting list of who knows how long, it seems unrealistic to expect real change soon.
So, I partially agree with you and will try to spread the info and ask doctors about this, but I think it should rather be seen as a need for more studies. Maybe there already are more, the article is from 2017, but right now I don't have time to search for that.
Thank you for the information
Those two quotes are almost certainly them covering their ass legally. It's like how every medical professional will tell every woman on hormonal birth control to use a backup method if they're on antibiotics even though only a very specific combination of the two will decrease the effectiveness of the birth control.
Add to that nine years of daily posts on r/PastorArrested.
they had to normalize pedophelia, and SA to make them palatable to the base.
They always have been
