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 right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.


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.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.


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 or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.


7. No duplicate posts.


If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. 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.


The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.

And what about my wife? She's allergic to the measles vaccination.

[–] JaymesRS@literature.cafe 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That seems different than a refusal, no? That seems more like a medical incompatibility.

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

People use bullshit excuses all the time to avoid getting their kids vaccinated, including "allergies".

[–] 4am@lemm.ee 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

"Allergies" are medically provable. Bullshit reasons are stuff like "sky daddy told me I don't hafta" and "the govmint can't 5g me"

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 days ago

That is certainly one extreme.

[–] shiroininja@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

That’s a contrarian question, of course there would be loopholes for that.

[–] mattw3496@fedia.io 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I assume it would be documented and considered an exception

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

She lost the documentation years ago. We're almost 40.

[–] otp@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You can either get the documentation reprinted, or get tested, no?

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

Yes, but it's just another thing on the pile of shit we're dealing with right now. The fact that she is a woman already doesn't bode well. We're just glad that we're both sterilized, all things considered...

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And that right there is why your argument is complete bullshit.

Yeah, exactly. You’re making it up.

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I got nothing to prove to you, asswipe. It's people like you that makes it difficult for others to be taken seriously at the doctor's office. Fuck off and die.

[–] blarth@thelemmy.club 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Then she is also allergic to measles, because all it is is weakened measles itself.

[–] lka1988@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

Yes, it's a shit situation.
