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 xcancle.org (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Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.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.

and the kid got better because he had all of his blood?

lets not jump to conclusions here. correlation is not causation

We need a bigger sample size of royals.

We have a quite big sample size. Hemophilia is also called "The royal disease" because so many royals had it. Queen Victoria of the UK basically passed the disease on to half the royal dynasties of Europe.

I just meant that we should bleed more royals.

I know, but how inbred/insular the aristocracy was is always worth bringing up.

[–] Horse@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

critical support to the nobility for being so very inbred

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago

It is the end of an era on that front. All ruling monarchies have toned down the inbreeding. If you want circular family trees these days its mostly pretenders.

On the other hand I definitely feel better with more blood rather than less, anecdotally

[–] CarmineCatboy2@hexbear.net 16 points 1 week ago (2 children)

guess how we can prove this? that's right, bloodletting

[–] john_brown@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

I think you still treat some diseases with bloodletting. I can only think of hemochromatosis though
