Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person or their instance. 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. Keep on-topic


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, 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.

I think its weird to know Katy Perry loved and married and divorced a rapist.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

it was like 4 days and she said he mostly avoided her that time. it sounds like he just wasn't ready to pretend to be married while seeking victims.

Idk if that true, but it's funny enough I'll accept it.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

I guess it was a little over a year, but she did say he was largely absent, and when he wasn't he was very controlling and seemed deeply insecure, she assumed about her success, but seeing his pattern of behavior as a serial rapist and sexual abuser, to me it sounds a lot more like he couldn't balance his predatory nature and behavior in a sham marriage to make him look less threatening to afford him more credibility against victims, serial rapists and abusers have been shown to be very clearly aware and willing to plan their lives around access to victims and safety from victims like seeking access to fields like medicine or education to gain access to victims, or law enforcement or religion to shield them from victims accusations.

she obviously has horrible taste in men.

[–] athairmor@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago (3 children)

So, you’re saying I have a shot?

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago
