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Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.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

This is actually really really weird for me. I went through extreme benzo withdrawal a few years back, I think about a year or two before this fucker did. I couldn't afford a clinic in Russia to put me in a coma for it, so I just had to go through over a month of repeated seizures, severe constant full body and head pain, sleeping only a single hour every few days, eventual psychosis, and then months more of post acute symptoms. It's been years and I never truly recovered, having permanent nervous system pathology and pain. I managed to avoid covid by being a complete shut in, and only leaving my little garage-converted house house once a month to buy bulk food with food stamps. And sometimes doctor appointments. Because since the withdrawal I developed some kind of chronic autoimmune disorder. Or something, because it hasn't been diagnosed since I don't have money to see specialists, but the doctors I do see know I have some very serious but uncommon problems. I spent the small amount I did have saved to be able to see a doctor I liked but had to stop after a few sessions because I couldn't afford it anymore This doctor was dead certain my problem was/is mold exposure causing all these severe but seemingly disparate, otherwise unexplained symptoms. But because I have nowhere else to go except a tent on the street somewhere, and because there's not a chance in hell the place I'm staying will be able to get examined, let alone treated for mold, I just have to keep "living" with it. I'm not even totally sure it is mold causing all my (really fucking weird) health issues, but it does seem to line up.
It's just so strange to me how much my own health problems mirrored the issues of this evil pile of human trash. In contrast though, I don't eat meat, not ever. Maybe that's why I'm not yet quite dying in the hospital like this asshole. I am mostly vegan but sometimes just have to take what I can get. But to have my health ruined by benzodiazepine withdrawal a couple years before it's in the news because of this shitstain, and now to read he's hospitalized due to the exact same thing that I've been told is the root of my health problems that make me want to [cw] [redact myself] every day. The similarities bother me.
But did you try cleaning your room about it? What about going on an all meat diet? The Lord helps those who help themselves, meaning you have to pray the ghost out of your bones. Literally everyone knows this.
It's so true I mean look at how well it worked for JP. Just a little more bootstrap pulling and he will be right as rain.
With these simple steps you too can sound like Kermit the frog afflicted with consumption!
