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.

Y'know we could have had spaceships each since the 1930s?
*[Edit: No. Seriously. Follow the tech arc from Michael Faraday through to Nikola Tesla. Take a look at the Sonora Aero Club from 1850. See? We never needed rockets. Even air-planes came after the zero-inertia-propulsion innovations. See how much we're kept down?] *
But sure, lets just keep succumbing to this manufactured scarcity and provocations unto civil war, pitting us against each other, falling for pitchforks-vs-torches, buying more pitchforks in fear, believing the rumours the torch people want to take away your pitchforks, or even that other pitchforkers are plotting against you. Yeah, keep believing that narrative from the plutarchs, kleptarchs, attercoparchs, oligarchs, billionaires in the handshake clubs. Maybe they care. :3 Maybe your neighbour is your enemy. Be very afraid! Obey! LOL.
Or we'll stop falling for it already?
PS, 2A means we're all to be afforded access to the best of means... what better than a spaceship that you cannot crash, safe enough for a 2 year old to fly home, can sustain human life indefinitely, can print another of itself instantly, zero point energy powered, with zero inertia propulsion (means it can accelerate or stop instantly, and do high speed right angle turns, etc), for your defence against rotters foreign and domestic?
Do you have a spaceship yet?
Everything else is noise [or worse ~ like the whole guns thing, keeping us down, keeping us divided and conquered, keeping us fearful, keeping us in a prisoner dilemma and tragedy of the commons, keeping us from taking our countries back from the crooked club who couped it decades ago... arguably a century ago. Does anyone like what Edward Bernays (or Hearst, or Anslinger, or Hitler) did to us? No? Maybe we should undo that, and get back to where we should be by now [i.e. spaceships for everybody]. And again, no, I am not trying to take your guns away from you. I'm saying that's a divisive weapon of mass distraction to turn us against each other, to take our attention off the crooks in power. Time to party like it's 1999 (or even 2019) again, and stop falling for the weapons of mass distraction.].
PS(2),
Yeah... I'd probably succumb to it too, and buy a gun or two, if I lived there.
Easy to be an angel in heaven.
