Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.

If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.

Fair enough, how are you doing now? Any word out from them yet?

[–] FlyingSquid 19 points 6 months ago (2 children)

We're looking into intensive therapy programs at the moment. Hopefully we'll find something by the end of the week, but we had to wait until my daughter's school year was over.

Ah man, sorry to hear you are in the midst of a health issue Flying Squid! Wishing you a full recovery. Lemmy wouldn't be the same without you!

For what it's worth, I hope they find something to get you well again.

Is it too much to ask for them to wait until I'm awake until they play with my balls?

I just don't see what I get out of it. Other than microplastics in my balls.

[–] alquicksilver 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

How do you think they get the microplastics in your balls in the first place? Can't have you knowing.

[–] FlyingSquid 4 points 6 months ago

If I knew, I might have let them put some extra in for good luck!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

microplastics are their own reward

Every tested testi. Testis of non-testee testi'd are not tested.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They said "every testicle in study."

Yours were not in the study.

Fine. Please urinate into a coffee mug. Someone will be by soon to collect the sample...

Pee is stored in the balls.
