World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

So is caffeine.
Cannabis doesn't cause schizophrenia. It merely brings out symptoms earlier than normal in individuals that already have schizophrenia but haven't had a major episode yet.
Repeat after me: Correlation Does Not Equal Causation.
Can you share some of that research with me? Anecdotally, I know plenty of non-schizophrenic stoners.

Of course, when we're talking about heightened risks that spread out to entire population, you might not see any change in your local groups, if your local groups are lucky. Getting schizophrenia involves an amount of shitty luck every time, but that's is true in varying quantities for pretty much every other disease as well.
Unfortunately, they never left.
You made a claim, and refuse to support it with evidence. Sounds like a troll or an idiot to me.
Be honest, you have literally nothing better to do than spread misinformation, you're already wasting your time.
That’s not our job in an argument tho. You make a claim, people asked you to show evidence - now it’s your turn to to your part of the debate and show what it is that made you so sure that this was true.
pat pat
Okay, you keep telling yourself that, bud.
Cannabis doesn’t cause anyone to “develop” schizophrenia.
That doesnt mean it's dangerous to society at large, and I'd argue that authoritarism IS. Also, (illicit) heavy cannabis use saved my life and is the only thing that adaquately treats my depression and allows me to function like a normal human being. So reading this honestly makes me want to tell you to go play in traffic -The world is bleak-a-fucking-nough I hope you're at least getting paid to post this crap
authoritarism is the #1 danger
Would you say the same thing to someone who needs SSRIs to maintain stability?
no there isn't
Yes and your chances are very very low.... Lower than say getting hit by a car.
And that's factoring the possible 30% increase in incident rate from those studies.....
Only if you force me to do it and watch 🤤
This astroturf smells like shit
Nah, it just supports general atrocities like child labour and slaves though.
