Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

“With Every Breath,” a new documentary from ProPublica and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, is an intimate glimpse into what happens when people learn that Philips Respironics’ CPAP machine may be causing harm.

The film braids together the stories of three people, who face the unanswerable question of how their health has been impacted, and a sleep medicine doctor who leads her patients through the chaotic recall. The film humanizes a public health crisis that has affected millions and whose scope may not be known for years, if ever.

Weaving together personal stories with lush cinematography, this 20-minute film is directed by Liz Moughon and produced by Almudena Toral. It accompanies the investigative series also called “With Every Breath,” published by ProPublica in partnership with the Post-Gazette: https://www.propublica.org/series/with-every-breath

Margaret Fleming, Nicole Tan and Bridgette Adu-Wadier from the Northwestern University's Medill Investigative Lab contributed to this report.

Go for it. Like seriously, do it. I just got one that actually works after not having one for several years, partially due to the phillips BS. Being able to sleep through the night, to get real sleep, makes so much of a difference Idk how to even explain it. It's worth pursuing.

agreed. i just started CPAP for moderate obstructive apnea (diagnosed in january, but my sleep has been fucked for years). feels like it has done so much for my immediate health and psychological outlook.

this story is insane and we all know the people responsible for this are going to avoid any punishment. like maybe their net worth takes a hit and they go from being 9 figure assholes to 8 figure assholes for a while.

all i can say is that in the PEOPLE'S Republic of China, there would be deep humiliation in criminal court, prison, and probably even somebody catching a bullet in the dome over this shit.
