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.

I literally screamed in pain every 20 minutes. I have trigeminal neuralgia, the suicide disease. It's called that because most people kill themselves rather than handle it. I'm sure a call center job would have worked really well if I screamed at the customer. Thankfully, that has been solved and I'm only in severe pain all the time now instead of severe to agonizing every 20 minutes. You have no idea what I go through. You are being fucking offensive.
Or the normal name, fothergill's disease. Very painful indeed, ay but maybe starting out with that would've been better than claiming semi-disabled, because that's a bullshit term. You have Fothergill disease, you're disabled.
You misunderstand, I simply don't care what you go through, and I don't care about offending you in the slightest. We're on the internet, we're nothing to eachother and will likely never interact again after this. Sure, it sucks for you, but it has exactly 0 impact on my life.
No one calls it Fothergill’s disease. Not a single medical professional has ever said that to me. That's not a "normal name" that I have heard anyone use in any context outside people like you who find it on internet searches.
And no, when I said semi-disabled, I meant it. I am able to work and receive disability to make up for the lost time when I can't.
In your anecdotal experience people don't call it that, congrats buddy.
Semi-disabled is bullshit. You're disabled and partially rejected for work.
My "anecdotal experience" with dozens of medical professionals.
And you're actually claiming semi-disabled is not real but semi-employed is?
Good job, you figured out what anecdotal means.
Might be a language thing, I wouldn't call it semi-employed at all. There is or there is not.
Yeah, it might be a language thing because I'm guessing English isn't your first. But feel free to find evidence that "Fothergill's Disease" is the common name in the U.S. where I live. I'd like to see it.
