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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


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. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


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, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. 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 or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


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.

Is it the same fever that he had when he was flying on Epstein's jet? Sorry, we must call out all of them, not just the orange genius.

Even if it turns out he truly had no fucking idea about the slaves and was completely oblivious to the illegal pornography framed on the monster's walls, he still did a bunch of fucked up shit

The first thing that comes to mind for most people is Monica Lewinsky. If the most powerful man in the world asks you to do something you are not comfortable with, can you truly say no?

Even if you're not American, if Biden asks me to bleach my asshole and send him a photo, I'd do it, because I don't want the CIA to kill my dogs with mystery gas or somehow Pegasus my 20 year old microwave.

If I recall correctly, she's said essentially that herself.

She's quite the wit, incidentally.

Edit: Had to share this one too...

Hey, it's me, Joe Biden. Are you ready to send me your bleached asshole pics? I need them asap.

We all know that when you start a message with “hey, It’s me (politicians name)” that you are actually a PAC. I’ve only had those sorts of messages sent to me about getting cash donations not asshole photo donations though.

Nice try

The real biden, being the oldest boomer of all boomers, would have phone called me

Was dealing with a rental agent without a pfp, tried to guess his age with a message, see if he'd type "......." or asked "are you black", but that first fucking phone call confirmed it. YES WOUTER I SAID WILL SEE YOU IN 30-40 MINUTES. IT HAS ONLY BEEN 18 MINUTES.

like, I can't talk on the phone while driving. I could die. Someone else could die. I could get my phone confiscated in the Municipality of the City of Cape Town.

I know that's not a problem for you, You just use the phone to WhatsApp hour long voicenotes to your ex-wife who blocked you and Chrome search "big bobs oily sex party"

My fucking OTPs, my bank, my job and my literal lifeline. I wish I didn't need an app for any of that shit but our generations do

I cant believe people still think the POTUS is the most powerful person in the world. They don’t even take a shit without getting permission from the wall street military and prison industry profiteers that own all our representatives and social institutions.

[–] DurbanPoison@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

That's a very good point and I 100% agree with you.

Although you get what I was trying to say. More about the power dynamics.

Looking at the job market now, I've got a liter of arsehole-safe bleach and a camera config setup just in case of the 0.000000001% chance my boss requires a certain image.
