news
Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: 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 the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. 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 sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
-
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
I pee in the shower and also drink beer in the shower.
If you have not peed in the shower while drinking a cold one you have not lived.
This is not a joke trust me.
I drank a bottle of Soju in a hot shower. I know it's pretty much a meme, but 4 standard in a hot shower with little food on my stomach nearly made me faint when I tried to get out.
It was the first drink I didn't even know I needed sobering up.
getting drunk in the cold is more dangerous tbh. you dont really get how drunk you are until you get in under the warm shower
I drank beer in the shower once. It was awkard to say the least. There I was, under the hot water, naked and drinking Heineken.
let your freak flag fly comrade lets get dirty with it
Level up your game and consider wine in the shower.
I take it a step further and cry in the shower.
Did you ask your doctor if that's safe?
My doctor said I was too old to be autistic so I don't go to him anymore.
Hey! I didn't know we went to the same doctor!
After I got my diagnosis, I even asked my therapist for recommendations on doctors that don't suck. I have the list somewhere but I barely ever go to the doctor.
neat! i got told i couldn't have adhd since i was in school so i could obviously focus
Ironically my first armchair diagnosis was ADHD from a friend's mom because I wouldn't look people in the eye.
was she right tho?
She was not lol.
try crying with wine
That's after the first bottle.
nah i need an icecold brewski for contrast, wine isn't improved by the warm drops

note: I don't drink anymore but shower beers are fun
i eat hot soup in the shower. best snack since the water just makes more of it (even better if you put a soup cube in the showerhead)
