A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Whoa now, I've been told by people on this very platform that the libertarian government was the very best thing possible!
He's been in power for a year and a half, not everything that's wrong with the country is his fault
Well, if you listened to the people who ignored my concerns about him, he was the messiah who came in and miraculously fixed everything.
True, but this thing is, at least in part.
I'm curious if anyone here has experience with long COVID. My wife and I just caught COVID for the first time.
I'm pretty sure I have it. My physical endurance has taken a huge hit since I got it last year, and the brain fog can be a pain in the ass.
Have you tried to fight through the endurance issue? That's my plan. I'm scared shitless of the downward spiral so I hope to get my ass out.
Wife and I took a walk last night, and that's the least I usually do. She couldn't tonight even though she's recovering better than I.
I did that. Do not recommend. I ended up bedridden, because every time I pushed it I would get worse.
I recommend resting and letting your body get better.
Thanks! I have "emphysema light" (doctor's words) and if I sit on my ass too long, well, it's not good. I have to constantly move, and move hard, or I go downhill. Hence the question.
I've improved much since I wrote the question. We're hitting the river tomorrow, see how it goes. Manhandling my 10' boat, battery, trolling motor and other gear is going to be a challenge.
Glad to hear your getting better.
Do read this though.
PEM affects a good third of people with LC. And knowing the signs so you know not to push through it is very important because pushing through it can lead to well. Being like me, bedridden since two years.
I do. I caught it in March 2020, yo-yoed in health for a while, and had some surgeries and a treatable cancer which my doctors suspect were related to Long COVID. I’m pretty well marinated in the info, and am happy to share whatever you want to know.
This page from Yale is a great general orientation, though there’s a lot more LC sufferers would want you to know. This “What to Do When I Have Covid” guide from Clean Air Club will be useful.
The best place I know of on Lemmy for a discussion is !chronicillness@lemmy.world. Mastodon has an active and expansive community of people affected by Long COVID.
Condolences on your illness! I hope you’ll have better luck.
Thank you so much! I'll read all of that!
