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.

We need a necromancer to keep bringing him back to life so we can do it millions of times, then he would have got what he deserved.
Nah, once is good enough. Better to spend all those other bullets on other deserving CEOs.
I mean I would prefer everyone get good quality healthcare for free, so don't listen to me cus I am the radical here right...? (only radicals respond to threats of senseless cyclical violence with appeals to collective visions of the future that benefit all by truthfully recognizing the present incongruity?)
Maybe we could both sides things here a bit? Exchange some bullets for some affordable end of life care and I have a queer premonition the angry mobs might start to go home to their families that now have a chance at a humane future.
The literal fatal flaw of this strategy however is that the people in power have to panic and pick the "appease the angry mob" option before the angry mob has no families left to go home to for it to have the possibility of working.
If you wait too long inveitably and irrevocably you face a counter force, not a force, which is a much worse eventuality for everyone most especially our children in the end.
as long as they dont turn them into a lich like mcconnel.
instructions unclear, did I do this right?
dint need to cross out the LICH. you made him to human, his skin and is not all white like the litch king.
Damn... I don't know if I am comfortable with having that degree of power to obscure evil.
hes either a lich, or palpatine.
Gosh, one day I hope people describe me like that!
