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:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content 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!

Yeah, he pulled basically the same bullshit months ago with his ADHD (made a big legal deal about taking a fuckin pill at some point during the day to the extent that his legal team and the judge got involved in a matter that should be handled entirely between Sam and whoever his doctor is - clearly a my BrAin iS WEirD So tREaT Me sPEciAL tactic, which I have encountered before and find uniquely aggravating), which I personally live with, so I 100% get you.
