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 in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . 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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --

All parents gotta work so we gotta put sick kids in miseducation prison daycares.

Kids fell behind during the COVID-19 pandemic, so we’re killing them off

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago

see folks? the democrats believe in extremely late term abortion, sometimes 12, 13 years after birth. they'll let your kid play fortnite and put a bullet right in his little skull while he's building. no regard for whether or not he's among the last 3 alive

They weren't cost effective.

This is chilling. How much of this is because standardized testing has become all consuming and missed days are missed test prep?

It really does feel like some kind of point has been passed.

Speaking as a former educator, probably most of it.

An entire generation may be damaged for life from this shit, altering their life trajectory forever. agony-deep

More than ever before I am so fucking disgusted with @[email protected] and every "normalcy" fixated covid-chud like them for pushing this "normal" shit on us toward the point of breaking us.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 months ago

Like, yeah we would all love to return to normal. That would be fucking great.

Unfortunately the only way to have done that was eradication of the wild type.

I probably can't/shouldn't share my opinion of or what I hope happens to Mandy Cohen, Rochelle Walensky or Anthony Fauci publicly, but at the very least there needs to be a truth and reconciliation commission for US Covid policy handled by a competent arbitrator (PRC)

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

The heads of the CDC, people in charge of the federal response, governors, mayors, university presidents, school board members, airline owners, restaurant owners. These people need to be individually tried, and so so many of them [REDACTED] for the mass murder they’re responsible for

The President of the university I worked at at the time should be fucking executed, his pro-spread policies made our school have more covid cases than any university on earth until we stopped counting

COVID IS OVER covid-cool maybe-later-honey 🍷 🍷 maybe-later-kiddo corona

i think i agree. mild diarrhea isn't that bad, medium to spicy diarrhea is definitely something to stay at home for

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nothing worse then spicy diarrhea

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

Fire diarrhea would like a word.

I wonder if private schools for children of wealthy people will follow the same lax restrictions. Somehow I doubt it.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Well, for one, they probably plonked down wads of cash to overhaul their HVAC systems (see: the school system where the kids of Biden's (at the time) COVID czar and CDC director attend)

As soon as the evidence around airborne transmission was coming out, I ordered an air purifier and used to successfully quarantine a few covid-infected family members without further transmission.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago

It is absolutely criminal that we didn't get a new Clean Air Act for indoor air as a result of the pandemic. Pathogens, allergens, pollutants, and even just plain buildup of carbon dioxide in crowded areas--these can all be mitigated with proper ventilation and filtration.

love too manage mild diarrhea

My hate is so, so pure

The United States has apparently gone from a strategy of passively letting kids die to a strategy of actively killing them. Okay then. Curious to see how that's going to work out. Let's bring back lead in paint and gasoline while we're at it. That was fine and didn't have an generational consequences
