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.

It's a little sad that you think only "intelligent" people can want a rational conversation. What if I was just autistic and took words really literally? Should I just stfu or something?
Either we got raided, or our demographics shifted rapidly in the shitpost direction in the past short while or something.
I haven't said anything of the sort.
Then my blunt feedback to you likely would have been more easily received.
You really are incapable of accepting that you're the one at fault here, huh?
I never said I was intelligent. Why do you keep saying it then?
No, at least until I get something that makes some rational sense, I said in no uncertain terms. I will not back down from this position. Work on your reading comprehension.
Just because you don't like it, doesn't make it irrational.
Oh the irony of this from someone who consistently misinterprets everyone else.
I've yet to get anything but opinions and feelings from you. That is not rational sense, we do not look to our feelings for rational sense. Unless you can find where you tried to be objective and rational and I missed it?
You'll find the answers you're looking for when you stop dismissing things you don't like to hear as "feelings".
What is objective vs what is subjective is not a matter of me liking it. It's a set of rules you learn in school that forces you to follow them if you want to consistently "make sense".
When something "seems" a certain way, that is not an objective thing. It can "seem" different to different people. This is a subjective feeling.
I hope you one day come to terms with how people, and communication, works...
If it makes me like everyone else in this thread, I really fucking hope I never do.
There's that smugness again.
Even 4channers know what shitposts are. Bad shitposters, bad!
Except there are none here.
Right. This whole thread, none, not one. Not even me. Not even that 100% false 5 word sentence you just wrote.
Fair, I did think you were a troll. But now I kinda think you just lack introspection.
Funny you call me the troll, but you're also throwing out insults left and right. Not exactly high quality comments, right? You'll note I've given up putting much effort in too, but I think I've made my point.
Eh well. I tried. Believe whatever you want, bud.
Third time's the charm: I will not back down from this position. In case you didn't notice, I feel really strongly about this one.
You do that then.
Thanks for your permission, it means a lot to me.
