We do not accept self-promoting articles for publication on SoylentNews.

[01:47:38] <chromas> Didn't we already have techrepublic?
[01:48:28] <Sulla_> I called it
[01:48:29] <Bytram> same-ish delete msg given for story submission 35646
[01:48:31] <chromas> I think he also did a zdnet one

[02:02:43] <Bytram> should have a story sub in the hopper shortly
[02:03:18] <chromas> People should drink it
[02:03:23] <chromas> Thin the herd
[02:04:36] <Bytram> Well, it would be one thing if the *parents* were drinking it. It's quite another to advocate administering it to a child, and one with diminished mental capacity, at that!
[02:05:08] <chromas> The parents apparently have bad genes, so
[02:05:25] <Bytram> to help the kids, the parents should clean their genes.
[02:05:27] <chromas> Maybe the kids were being too serious
[02:05:35] <chromas> The parents just wanted them to...lighten up

[02:05:49] <Bytram> fitting
[02:05:49] <chromas> and clean up their dark sense of humor
[02:06:25] <Bytram> I know, gallows humor and all, but this story REALLY got to me.
[02:06:30] <Bytram> please stop.
[02:08:17] <chromas> But is it a real thing that's actually happening, or is it fake news like the tide pods?
[02:08:32] <Bytram> tide pods, AFAIK, were a real thing.
[02:08:50] <Bytram> And, given the stats in the story, this (sadly) is a "thing", too.
[02:09:11] <Bytram> something like 50 hospitalizations and 8 deaths in the past several years
[02:09:56] <Bytram> details are in the story submission

[03:33:37] <Bytram> pushed out a couple stories to get us until beginning of the work day on the US East Coast.
[03:34:42] <Bytram> That's gonna have to do it. I'm knackered.
[03:34:49] <Bytram> have a great night everyone!
[04:08:24] <chromas> Just push some dupes
[04:10:15] <Sulla> Nobody will notice
[04:10:39] <Sulla> Repost my click bait "one simple trick to make mars habitable - find out before it's illegal" article with the correct title
[04:10:39] <chromas> Yeah. Just put [repost] on it like the others. They'll understand
[04:12:06] <Sulla> I've been considering writing up a "this week in aristarchus" weekly omnibus of his submissions
[04:12:17] <Sulla> But without his commentary and just stuff from the articles
[04:13:11] <chromas> As journal entries?
[04:14:01] <Sulla> Yeah
[04:14:20] <Sulla> Been wanting to for months, but Supreme lazy and hooked on runescape
