Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Ask for help? This country is built around avoiding meaningful help for others because of “freedom”. You are free to live in a box under a bridge. Free to lack upward mobility. Free to be jailed because of homelessness, drug addiction or mental health problems. Free to lose your home because of a health problem. Help is “socialism” in this country. Can’t have that. Gotta have those freedoms instead.
In America, you are not free to live under a bridge. People get run off of that situation all the time.
The bridges around here all have no trespassing signs. In English and Spanish despite this being Indiana.
You'd think they'd at least have it written in Indian.
:P
You’re free to go find another bridge to live under.
