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 in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . 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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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
Seems to be a duo-demic around me, Covid19 and the flu. Most workplaces out here treat covid19 like a mild tummyache, with a catch that if you are positive you must stay away, so if you catch it and are positive you're penalized, since no such thing as sick days and x amount of days missed is an auto-termination. So, people lie about their test results/don't test and take a ton of OTC medicine to mask symptoms best they can, and go in.
Obviously everyone is starting to get sick out here (from strangers I see around town to people at work) and who knows with what, I haven't caught anything yet (knock on every surface) , but it took like 3 weeks for my mail-in covid tests to get here. Next to no one wears masks since its rural, not even doctors, probably since wearing a mask is the fastest way to piss off an angry unhinged chud and there's plenty of those out here (mask related shootings is one of this state's claims to fame and its still a thing). The state lags in tracking and has for the past year or so.
