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.

Go on, write me another essay or two telling me exactly who I am. I got time.

I don't have to. You're doing all the hard work for me. Keep it up

I know you want to. Writing essays about people makes you feel in control, and more decisions I made about you by reading some text.

Capital punishment doesn't work. It doesn't deter crimes. It doesn't prevent violence. It's not a solution. It's inhumane. It's expensive. It's irreversible. https://www.amnesty.org/en/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/act500062008en.pdf

Yeah you totally know all about me lol

A large number of shooters are just out to commit a mass murder-suicide. Who does this serve justice to? Or is this just to get people feeling like they’ve been “avenged”?

My guy, your blatant hypocrisy speaks more volumes than I ever could.

You're starting to fall back on the Hollywood revenge arguments. Give us some more of those. Entertain us.

You type many words yet they signify nothing /: no explanation, just accusations, why?

[–] pinkdrunkenelephants@lemmy.cafe 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

When you grow up, you'll see why your elders told you opposing the death penalty is wrong. I just hope it doesn't come at the cost of your family the way it does so many others.

[–] snek@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Who are my elders?

And do you think the death penalty would someone prevent a murder that could one day befall my own family?

[–] pinkdrunkenelephants@lemmy.cafe 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Me, to start. And I am telling you you are going down a dark, DARK path enabling genocide the way you are by defending the hopeless fascist retard who massacred 10 innocent people, while simultaneously accusing your opponents of violating human rights by supporting the death penalty.

You understand that the Nazis tried at Nuremburg were hanged specifically TO protect human rights, don't you? That the whole-ass basis of human rights is the idea that individuals can jeopardize the future of the species and that killing them is a moral responsibility to prevent our extinction? Do you actually read any history at all? Do you know what you're doing when you choose articles like this, the worst of the worst, specifically to proselytize and make yourselves look good in your eyes?

If you don't, you'll likely figure it out by the end of the year, when his ilk make you drown in the rivers of blood you spilled through them.

Fucking kids these days sleeping through history class, I swear 🤦
