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.

LGBTQ 2 has better graphics, split-screen multiplayer, a customizable interface, and hot-swappable controls. It also supports macros.

But now you have to pay for DLC maps.

LGBT was so popular that they made a sequel with 200% the gay

[–] vlad76@lemmy.sdf.org 29 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's LGBT Q2. It's the second quarter for the LGBT corporation.

[–] PBandJay@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Is that when our fiscal year ends?

It stands for "two spirit," which is an Indigenous term for a gender identity similar to being transgender. Canada has been making a more concerted effort to acknowledge and respect Indigenous views and traditions, so it's added to the LGBT+ acronym in Canada

I always thought it was for 2A, for asexual and ally.

Having allies be a part of the acronym is a whole other debate though.

What if you don't believe in spirits or souls?

You get kicked out of the rainbow and have to make your own rainbow.

[–] letsgocrazy@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

When did the rainbow go from "it's OK that some people want to have sex with their own gender" to "you must believe in abstract religious concepts"

2nd edition. Same dice.

Advanced LGBTQ & Bad Dragons.

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I'm not sure of why anything but Q is involved, doesn't Queer basically cover everything that isn't Hetero? Also I thought people were against labels, but maybe I was wrong since everyone seems to want a label now.

You are wrong.

Don't know the answer to your question but wanted to support the question anyway. I don't get why you're being downvoted

[–] cnut@lemmy.world -5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why are you talking at all, if you don't know the answer to the question?

[–] SCB@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Because talking is what you do on forums.

Your post and criticism is similarly valueless, as you don't provide any answers, as is mine

Sometimes people simply want to engage in the discussion.
