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.

Oh... She's likely not going to make it. There's no coming back from that much of the body being burned. Infection is all but guaranteed. Just horrific.
My brother did. So don't lose faith. And he's fucking stronger and taller than me today 30 years later....plus it was 30 years ago in a shitty part of the world too. You can do it! 💪.
Dude, what happened to you and your brother?
It's a very long story the details are too pii, but basically my bro got most of his skin with 3rd degree burns and he was in the hospital for about a year. He died a few times. Do you know anyone who has died a few times? When we got him back, he was different. Always easily irritated and angry. He grew up like that, today he controls it a little better but he can't stand others so he's single. I think it's the incredible amount of steroids he was given to promote cell growth and for other pii reasons.
Oh man, that's rough. I feel sorry about your brother. No human being deserves to go through so much pain and suffering. I hope he can at least appreciate some stuff in life and enjoy it every now and then. And I can imagine how hard it is to you and your family. I wish you all the best!
Thanks. But yeah, that's the thing, lot's of people have survived to tell about it. There's no loosing hope until the last breath. And like I mentioned, the guy is fine today. Just some chest scars and such but otherwise all that is in the past.
I get what you’re saying but I think the bigger problem is whether the medical facility has the people equipment and supplies.
Update: she did not.
