Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Section 1. Purpose. Overregulation chokes the American economy and stifles personal freedom. A small but meaningful example is the Obama-Biden war on showers

This is a Seinfeld bit. This is the b plot of a fucking sitcom from 30 years ago. Deeply unserious country.

there was literally a bit in a recent Netflix show where the POTUS demands that his shower be of maximum pressure and water temperature. a white house engineer works tirelessly to give him what he wants and then gets zero recognition for his efforts

the timing is pretty weird because that show just came out like 2 weeks ago

He was mad about the low flow toilets in the previous term. Toilets are whatever you me but I don't drive or anything so would really like go have a shower that makes ne feel better when I'm sore by blasting me with really hot water. I just really like when my shower almost hurts and it makes things a bit more okay when I stand in it for a half hour before beesing to face the say sometimes. Everyone else gets to drive a fucking, I was want to be hit with a boiling hot firehoss when I need it

I imagine I would also be mad about low flow toilets if my diet consisted solely of mcdonald's and diet cokes
