News
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.

Antinatalism is what you get when a narcissist is suicidal. “If I shouldn’t live, nobody should!”
Counterpoint - antinatalism is what you get when the world is objectively a much worse place during someone's prime reproductive years than it was during their childhood.
That offers an explanation as to why someone might choose to not have kids, not why someone should believe that nobody should and start using toxic pejoratives for people who do.
When there are more humans and everything is getting worse some people will suggest that more humans makes things worse and advocate for less humans to make things better.
The pejoratives thing is just how identities work - making fun of or insulting people who don't share your identity is just a near universal feature of having an identity.
The idea that your identity can/should/must include inventing cruel language to enforce the idea that people who are unlike you are disgusting and lesser is a pretty significant part of the reason things aren't good and are getting worse. The idea it's acceptable or tolerable isn't great.
It may surprise you how many people don't invent language to diminish others, and are diligently working to avoid language that already exists.
I'm not saying it's good or even super common, just observable. People make up names for people who think differently than them. Once a group hits a certain size, it's just pretty likely that they'll have those sorts of terms, even if only a small percentage actually use them.
Except he was the only one who died?
He targeted an empty building. But this is going to be spread more than any right wing mass shooter in the last decade.
Targeted an empty building and somehow missed... still managing to hospitalize 4 other people.
I doubt the 4 people who were immediately released from the hospital were hurt at all.
Go be mad about a real problem
