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.

Just a reminder that JD has three kids (actual kids, not 35 year olds) with his wife, who is a woman of color. If he won’t defend them against blatant racism, do his supporters actually think he gives a fuck about them?

Also, a good parent would take the opportunity to teach their children why what they said is wrong, not just tell them how to avoid responsibility:

Vance said he would tell his three kids—“especially my boys”—“don’t put things on the internet. Be careful with what you post. If you put something in a group chat, assume that some scumbag is going to leak it in an effort to try to cause you harm or cause your family harm.”

Our Vice President is a huge piece of shit.

His wife is just as complicit and thinks she's white adjacent enough so no sympathy for her at all.

[–] BertramDitore@lemmy.zip 45 points 5 months ago

Oh for sure, I have no sympathy for her either, she’s fully complicit. Just saying his lack of defense for his own family speaks volumes.

Well she is caucasian tbf

Its like that skit from the office, which is basically based on two real life supreme court cases. In the first one, the scotus said anyone with white skin was white regardless of origin. Then when a very light skinned Japanese guy from Hawai’i used that to argue that he was white, they said that to be white you also have to be caucasian. But simultaneously disqualified anyone who was caucasian but didnt have white skin.

The concepts of colorism really make no sense at the end of the day

No war but a class war.

Only being angry about being caught instead of remorseful about having done something wrong is narcissistic and sociopathic behavior

[–] MolochAlter@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

That would imply they agree with your definition of right and wrong.

Wow, I hadn't seen that quote. Absolutely nothing about teaching them to not be racist pieces of shit, only to make sure not to post it online. And that the real scumbag here is the person who leaked it.

Hes a piece of shit but "don't put things on the internet" is fantastic advice for young people. I'm glad I was a kid before the Internet got "serious" so there are no logs of the heinous shit I'm sure I said. If you look for my old username, you'll get one search result...a quip I made on IRC on bash.org

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 4 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Well now I want to know which one :P

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

I actually tried to find it after I posted but i guess you can't search the bash archives

The quest to find the true bloodninja continues.
