Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

MODERATORS
There's no way these people are actually quarantining.
I can imagine.
Reporter on zoom: "You and your wife have said you've kept in quarantine."
"Yeah."
Reporter: "Here's a social media photo selfie of you and your wife at Walmart - yesterday."
"Yeah."
Reporter: "So in fact - both of you broke quarantine."
"Yeah, no. We needed diapers. And she always complains I buy the wrong ones."
"He always buys the wrong ones. He drives - I shop."
These people were and are going to continue coughing into each others' mouths during packed indoor holiday gatherings.
Agree, or at best "quarantining" like COVID "lock down" where they still go to the store or visit someone's house or pop down to a bar or cafe real quick, and still view it as the most egregious restriction of individual freedom in their lifetime.
Quarantine but the disease magically doesn’t spread among friends or when you really need a haircut
I remember people being serious about not being able to get their hair cut as something that needed to be weighed against the utility of public health measures. Or a person suggesting to me that because we have 40,000 automobile deaths a year we should accept that many COVID deaths. No! That death toll indicates a sick society that has accepted needless car deaths, not that that is a baseline number of acceptable fatalities. Then the COVID death toll that first year was probably 10x that number. I don't mean to get too serious here, there is just this really weird divide between I feel between people who integrate their continued experiences over time and people who are like, yeah no those things I forcefully and sincerely advocated for 3-4 years ago don't mean anything
