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.

I know I am wrong but it bothers me a bit that they describe themselves as The Federalist.

Note that the writer did not apologize for what she said. She only apologized for using Dolly Parton as an example of someone who is "unaligned with God’s vision for humanity". You know, because she doesn't tell queer people that they are going to hell just for existing.

"I'm sorry I angered a popular singers fan base with my hateful rhetoric."

“I’m sorry you/they feel that way”

We are all here waiting for Dolly to grow old enough to become the president

She's 78. I think that makes her old enough by even the snarkiest standards.

Yeah.. it was a joke on the age of presidential nominees and politicians in general in the US, not so much an actual suggestion

[–] [email protected] 36 points 3 months ago

She's been asked before.

Her answer is "hell no"

I think it's like retirement age, it just goes up the more time passes. By 2040 you'll actually have to have died and been resurrected by a necromancer before you're allowing the job.

Watch out, Mitch is going to be mad about you giving away his secrets

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I used to be dead.

I still am. But I used to be too.

Oh, sorry... Wrong Mitch...

Genius! I'm totally gonna (try to remember to) steal that and use it the next appropriate time.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I'd say me too, but both of us know that's not happening......

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

She will never be that "old." She has the heart, soul, and energy of a 30 year old.
