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, 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.

After 20 years in the Army, Master Sergeant Amiah Sale’s future hangs in the balance.

The Trump administration has made it a mission to purge all transgender service members from the military, but as the trans military ban makes its way through the courts, some service members, like Sale, are spending their days in limbo.

Fuck you Shitget, you rear-echelon motherfucker.

Fuck anyone who shits on someone who served their country for 20 years. I'm not simping for the military, but public service is still something to be respected IMO.

what "service" is she providing, other than murdering innocent people in the middle east to make your oil cheaper?

Well, to my understanding, Hegseth wants extra-Teed up dudes, yes? And she is not an extra-Teed up dude. This is actually gender-affirming.

Bet they'd take a trans dude who's already on T and give him even more.

This scene raises my heart rate so bad. It's wild knowing that you could show this to some people and have them decide that they want to be in his place.

There do exist some people who want that power fantasy, as once the law cease to exist, wield assault rifles as the symbol of their power, feeling they can determine the fate of anyone they capture or run into.

There's always a chunk of people who want to be the boot. And a chunk of people who are happy to eat boots if they can be the boot sometimes.

I love this movie so much. Just wanted to say that.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 10 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

It keeps getting realer and realer.

I avoid watching this film for the same reason that I've avoided watching Idiocracy, Don't Look Up, and Black Mirror; it will just make me suicidally depressed because it's just getting closer and closer to real life.

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 3 points 58 minutes ago

Idiocracy has some hope and redemption for humanity.

Don't Look Up... saw it once, felt more like traumatic horror than dark comedy.

Maybe she can flourish into a more helpful person now.

In a weird way it’s really more of a compliment despite it being intended to be actually discriminatory.
