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.

So many serotonergic psychedelics have been in vitro and in vivo proven to be neutriogenic. We could develop drugs that do that physical benefits without any psychological "side effects" but oops, DRUG WAR! All of those chemicals are forever forbidden and if you make anything that even looks structurally the same as any of those big no no drugs, well those are just the same. Idk what indiananol rungs are but straight to jail. Take your Prozac. Oh that didn't work? Take your wellbutrin. Oh that didn't work? Take your zoloft. That didn't work? Well we have enough random ssris that we don't fully understand that well just keep giving you different ones until you're numb enough to shut the fuck up and go to work.

shut the fuck up and go to work

That really is all it boils down to for most of the world. Even to people who think they care about you, they don't really want to know "how's it going" unless the answer is "good'n'you?"

Just stop being so sad it's all in your head Just get up and go to work/school/that thing, I don't know why that's so hard Other people have it worse

Sit down, do what you're told and be a good little drone and maybe after 50 years you might be allowed to sit in a small room where no one visits you until you die.

Psychedelics also foster creativity and imagination, which trauma inhibits. The greater the trauma (say, from climate change, genocide, mass shootings, etc), the less one's ability to imagine a better world, and thus the less one's ability to create it.

This is why the Republican strategy seems to just be "random terror and cruelty" and why the revolutionary period of the 60's and 70's were the direct result of the creation of LSD.
