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. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

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.

Idk cancer's had a good couple of days, first some loser royal and now a prominent bootlicker?

Redemption arc incoming?

(My dad died of leukemia before some loser starts whining about their inbred dog dying from three separate tumors or whatever)

Dude, someone got pissed at me for saying I felt bad for the cancer that caught Rush Limbaugh. Lost my dad to lung cancer the year before but "nobody deserves that". Fuck that noise, sometimes karma comes around in the form of lymphoma.

Rush Limbaugh was a big pro-smoking advocate, IIRC. He likely encouraged people to smoke, or at least discouraged some from quitting.

Dying of a disease he basically encouraged others to get is the perfect karmic retribution.

Rush Limbaugh would count and name all of us f@gs who died of AIDS . Ring some bell or some shit. I am so happy he suffered and I hope he suffers a few more lifetimes before he’s paid off his debt.

I'm sorry for the loss of your father.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 10 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Ty, but I'm told it happens to everyone eventually.

Not me though, I've decided against that.
