What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

You know what I meant. Imagine if the list of fundamentalist psychos was the same length as the walked across the USA list, compared to the possible list of people who drive across.

Religion is a catalyst, an enabler of violence. It provides a framework, and a justification. This empowers those who would otherwise bite their tongues to act.

So, an excuse, exactly as I stated. Thanks for thinking it through.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yawn. You have limited abilities for reasoning. Good luck out there!

[–] TigrisMorte@kbin.social -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

<yawns /> You have limited knowledge and experience thus must resort to childish insults in an attempt to compensate for your lack of wit. Study more out there.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

You defaulted all the additional details I provided to "huhhhhh excuse!" Which is reductive and limiting. You earned what you got after repeated back and forth clarifications, and the votes solidify it.

I'm not offering wit. So I'm not worried about your perception of my quantity of it.

Please review your post and look up the words which are all defined such that they fit the broad category of "excuse". Your enemy here is your ignorance and not my comments.

Ok bud. You posted reductive, small minded content, got downvoted, and explained to and it hurts. I get it. You're scrambling for a win, even a small one.

You're gonna make it though. You've made it this far, despite your ability, and you're gonna get through this too.

The greatest display of ability and strength will be to just stop replying to me. Bet you can't.

Perhaps you should see someone about your low self esteem.

Keep going you almost got it
