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.

you realize any explanation will be BS and I won’t let that slide.

As I said, you don't actually want me to clarify because you'll find a reason to disagree with whatever I say.

Again with the hypocrisy that you know what I want better than I do.

But good on you for ignoring the "pointless" exercise of actually defending your claims, in favor of the pointless exercise of just claiming the other person isn't fault for your inability.

Really makes the implicit claim that you are avoiding something "pointless" very strong.

I quoted the words you said. You literally said any explanation I gave would be bullshit.

[–] EatATaco@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You literally said any explanation I gave would be bullshit.

Yes, we both know its true. Your ego is too fragile to admit you are wrong, and you've realized that you've painted yourself into a corner. The only thing left is to attack me and make it my fault. So of course any attempt at an explanation will be BS.

That being said, I would be happy to be proved wrong and would admit to it right here and right now. This is one of those advantages of seeking the truth rather than trying to be right.

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

I'm not attacking you or making it your fault. Once again, you said any explanation I gave would be bullshit, so there's no point in giving an explanation.

I can't help what you said.

"I'm not making it your fault...but here's what you just said and why it means I can't explain myself."

Lol

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

Yet again, if literally any explanation I can possibly give would be a lie, why should I bother?

[–] EatATaco@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So wait, now it is my fault? Two posts ago it was my fault. Then the last post it was not my fault,... But actually my fault. And now it's fully my fault again. I can't keep up with this rollercoaster! Lol

You realize it says a lot about you that you are willing to do this rather than just try to explain yourself.

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

Yet again- if any explanation I give is a lie, why should I explain myself?

[–] EatATaco@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So now we're back to you just blaming me for your inability to explain yourself. Probably won't even admit that you were wrong when you claimed you weren't blaming me.

Do you want me to explain myself?
