Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Nobody really reads resumes anymore. And I know this because mine has had "secretly banksy" on it, right between advanced Excel and intermediate SQL, for the last 7 years.
Not a single person has mentioned it, which is doubly strange because I definitely have been asked, "When you say advanced Excel; advanced in what way?" - which, I'll grant you, is the obvious question anytime someone puts that on their resume.
Or maybe people can tell it's a joke and don't feel the need to address it?
It literally never occurred to me that it was just a lame joke. Maybe I'm projecting since I never read resumes.
It's a bit meh, isn't it?
Other than the auction thing, Banksy haven't done anything interesting since 'exit through the gift shop', that wasn't really good neither.
What is your definition of meh? Personally I liked Banksy in Ukraine especially The Judo Competition. But yeah this tree thing is not any good.
Not even Meh, I’d flat out argue it’s ugly. Maybe I just don’t get it, but it’s a giant eyesore imo
Location, location, location
Look, they can't all be hits, okay?
Agreed. Not one of my fave banksys.
He spruced up the neighborhood!
Precisely.
Before the artist confirmed it was his piece of work, Islington councillor Flora Williamson said it would be "incredible" to have a Banksy artwork "right in the middle of social housing and one of the poorest parts of the borough".
Spray-on community revitalization and economic development
His work almost never benefits the community though. Councils will actively remove it or individuals will tear down walls just to sell it for private gain.
If the artist genuinely cared about the community they wouldn't bestow work upon it but work with them instead.
