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.

Shouldn’t have to say this but that’s a brave thing to do. Really, they’re just interpreting the US Constitution the way they’re supposed to. But, the amount of crazy people that this is going to piss off makes doing so dangerous.

In any other timeline I'd agree, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is yet another plot for a Supreme Court ruling reversal.

What isn't?

I'm all for them displaying the Ten Commandments. That's fine with me as long as they display the 1000 commandments from my religion too. The Church of All-Joking, All-Drunken Synod of Fools and Jesters. Here's the first 10.

  • Thou shalt not take thyself too seriously, for everyone else is also winging it.

  • Thou shalt not attempt diets on Mondays, for misery already hath enough dominion over that day.

  • Thou shalt honor thy couch and keep it sacred, especially on days when thou hath “big plans” that mysteriously vanish.

  • Thou shalt treat grocery carts as chariots of chaos and return them to their corral… unless it raineth, then abandon them as is tradition.

  • Thou shalt not pretend to enjoy small talk about the weather, for it is the blandest of offerings.

  • Thou shalt love thy neighbor, but thou art not obligated to like their cooking, their children, or their lawn ornaments.

  • Thou shalt not judge others’ hobbies, for every soul hath something weird that bringeth them joy.

  • Remember the nap and keep it holy; thou art but a fragile creature of flesh and exhaustion.

  • Thou shalt not compare thy life to Instagram, for illusions are plentiful and filters are powerful.

  • Thou shalt do thy best, even on the days thou feelest like a sentient potato—and lo, that shall be enough.

We're just getting started.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

you know i wouldn't think we would need a commandment against couchfucking, but here we are

Tell them to also put up other religious documents. Suddenly they'll object. Demonstrating the whole point of separation. If only we had other places to practice our religion... oh, right, we do.

[–] Cold_Brew_Enema@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

Good. Keep your fucking religion out of schools

[–] pinheadednightmare@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Good, I don’t want my kids learning that bullshit anyway.

[–] sturmblast@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

Good. Keep your religion yourself.

Is the kiddie diddling in the top 10, or is that like 13 or 14?
