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Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.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

I just wanted to elaborate with a footnote without breaking the flow of what I was saying. Checking, the only thing I had saved that might have mentioned it 404ed, although I think that may have just been a resource on doing a blood choke without threatening the wind pipe. This is just general kink community knowledge though, like the risk of nerve/joint damage from poorly placed restraints or how blunt force impacts to the abdomen and particularly around the spine or kidneys are very dangerous.
But like, stopping blood from moving is bad and has a risk of making blood clots (this is why sitting for excessively long periods of time causes a risk of DVT, as blood pools in one's legs more than it should), and cutting off oxygen to the brain is also extremely bad. The only bit that contradicts conventional knowledge is the more recent research that even brief reductions in blood flow to the brain cause brain damage that builds up over time in the same way that minor head impacts add up (another recent discovery, since before the assumption was just that serious concussions were bad but lighter impacts didn't cause injuries).
The article in OP does mention and link studies about the brain damage risk though, I think.
I do not wish this to be true
