News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

You honestly piss me off because I have a mystery disease and have not eaten solid food for five months. I live on Ensure and Gatorade. The fact that you can choose to eat want you wanted but don't?
And sure, I've lost weight too. And I was overweight. I'm now within 10 pounds of my ideal weight according to my BMI. I don't get to go to the Mayo Clinic until the end of March. I will be underweight by then. Possibly significantly- my weight loss amount tends to fluctuate, but it can be over a pound a day sometimes. Hoo-fucking-ray. Oh yeah, also I'm not spending much on food BECAUSE I CAN'T FUCKING EAT IT.
(Please no medical advice. If I'm going to the Mayo Clinic, you don't have the answer.)
I'm far from alone even with people who don't have mystery diseases. There are plenty of people on severe dietary restrictions because of their health who would love to do nothing more than eat a large pizza or a burger, something they will never be able do to again for the rest of their lives.
Go eat some real food. Because you can.
I haven't been so annoyed in a while.
I upset you because... I found a sustainable way to eat better without breaking the bank, and I'm now healthy for it? I'm sorry that you have to deal with whatever you're dealing with; nobody deserves to live in a universe where their body rejects common foods. I'm not a doctor don't worry; I have no medical advice for you. I do have some philosophical advice though. You should look within to figure out why you're mad at me; I'm not your enemy.
You upset me because you could eat whatever you want and instead live on nutrition shakes when, not just me, but a huge number of people wish they had the choice you did. And wouldn't brag about it.
I cannot "eat whatever I want". Eating whatever I wanted lead me to be 375lbs. Since I cannot eat whatever I want, I choose to eat something convenient, easy to count, and inexpensive to obtain. I live a life closer to yours than you think, constantly wishing I could eat whatever I desired and remain healthy. I brag about it because for me it's hard to choose to do the right thing, and I make the right choice every day, multiple times a day.
An alcoholic should be proud to brag about being 8 years sober, shouldn't they?
Okay, you're right. I apologize.
We're all in this world together dude/dudette/dudelse, I truly wish you the best and hope you get whatever you've got figured out. I'm glad we found some common ground; that's what this place (is? should be?) all about!
Agreed. I wish you the best too!
