Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.

Well yeah, 15 years ago they would've been young children or toddlers, you shouldn't leave young kids alone.

Have you tried not making touching grass a rich people thing? Have you tried not making renting an apartment exclusively a ‘rich people thing’? Have you tried hiring?

No? Then shut up, you’re not helping, you’re rubbing it in.

Sneaking out of your parents' house to booze it with your friends gets really old once you hit your mid-20s.

[–] Imnecomrade@hexbear.net 1 points 3 months ago

you’re rubbing it in.

The cruelty is the point.

[–] Nopeace@hexbear.net 39 points 3 months ago

Only 4-6 hours? Fucking child's play. Come back when it's 24 hours a day you absolute amateurs.

[–] Aradino@hexbear.net 33 points 3 months ago

Only 4 to 6 hours alone a day is above average? Another thing I'm an overachiever in

No, Young Americans goes like:

Have you been the un-American?

Just you and your idol sing falsetto

'Bout leather, leather everywhere, and

Not a myth left from the ghetto

They have a few links to see the data on the website and it looks like young people and 30-44 years old are below average for time spent alone but have noticeably gone up. Older people were already pretty high and remain higher than young people. Young people were the only ones that really could increase like that without a mass movement of boomers becoming shutins.

I'm sure this has nothing to do whatsoever with the death of the third space
