Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

I'm not sure what you mean? As I said in those comments, I think it's weird to have an AI girlfriend.

But guy, if you want one, you can have one. It's ok. Not really my thing, but hey, you do you.

I am flattered that you are looking up my comments to show my distaste for people who have AI girlfriends, but you know what? You've really changed my mind on that. I think some people actually would be helped with their anger issues if they have an AI girlfriend.

So if having an AI girlfriend makes you feel better, go for it. Still not my thing, but hey, let's focus on your well-being. I def don't wanna judge you for it.

And maybe rather than discussing my distaste for people who have AI girlfriends, you could focus on the article we are talking about. Thank you!

Maybe you should look into it. But wait, you had no idea what I meant though, right?

It's definitely not obvious that your writing style changed 100% and now you're just posting pro-trump propaganda all day every day or anything like that! Nope definitely not!

No thank you. I'll leave that whole thing up to you. Not my thing. Ick. But hey, you do you, friend. But maybe you could focus on the article I posted, since that's really what this comment thread is for.

now you’re just posting pro-trump propaganda all day every day or anything like that

I'm just posting political news articles to a political news community, friend. Maybe you could actually focus on the news article rather than baseless personal attacks. Thank you!

Right because I was bizarrely commenting on it like crazy and getting banned for it.

maybe you could focus on the article I posted,

Never have, never will.

[–] UniversalMonk@lemmy.world -4 points 2 months ago

Never have, never will.

So you are admitting that you "never have, never will" comment on the articles themselves. That's weird for a political news community. I'd really prefer we just keep the discussion to the article I've posted.

Let's just try to stay focused on political news, since this is a political news community, and not a personal attack community. Thank you!
