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.
How long does it take before people realize killing other people only breeds more people killing other people?
It’s been since the dawn of mankind and we’re still waiting for any realization
you know what, I like you, mainly because you are correct
It’s my best quality 🤣
Shocked Pikachu face.
He sold out to a massive corporate conglomerate and they don't support his social activism.
Who could possibly have seen this coming.
Tbf it was 25 years ago, the world was a completely different place, and they had terms baked into the sale that allowed for their social activism (which Unilever has tried to undo multiple times)
I don't think mega corporations have been resistant to social activism only in the last couple of decades. It's been true since at least the days of the robber barons of the early 20th century.
Yes, this was clear at the time of the sale. I remember people talking about it and moving away from the brand.
If I understand it they had no choice. It was either sell or get destroyed by the larger corporation. Who would then obtain the name once they were bankrupt. Apparently that's how corporate America works. To even get as big has they had, they had to sell. Why we all know about them in first place.
As the small company they would never be selling that ice cream in Oklahoma without corporate help. It sucks but it is how our country works under capitalism.
We’re in a time that we can no afford to be silent. I applaud his courage.
I can respect not wanting to participate but Unilever will just replace him with someone more compliant.
We are right in the middle of a Nazi take over. Understand who MAGAts are. They are the Nazi party of America.
I hope he starts a new ice cream company because goddamn is B&J delicious. But I will no longer be buying it.
