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.

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.

Does lemmy have a retired gifs community?

[–] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 9 points 2 years ago

I don't think this would fit, despite it's good fit to the context. Retired gifs had to be something like:

Headline: Man teabags alien after defeating it in single combat

And then somone posting a gif of the master Chief teabaging a dead elite

In case someone else actually has to look this up: Yes, this is the guy you remember as "Puff Daddy".

"All About the Benjamins" and "I'll be Missing You", etc..

Turning "Every Step You Take" by The Police into a love song should have been peoples' first clue.

[–] ZeroCool@feddit.ch 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That was a tribute to Biggie Smalls.

More like a remake based off a song originally about stalking someone

[–] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Bad Boys . The clue was there the whole time.

I thought he told you that he won't stop

I don’t have any stakes in this but every time there is a new "scandal" of some sort of celebrity being creepy and perverted I can’t help but wonder what the victims were expecting initially.

Since the invention of the rockstar concept sexual deviancy and substance abuse have openly been a part of the package. Being scandalous is the very essence of it.

Now i don’t condone any of it, but if people seek out someone with money and fame as their partner, how can they possibly be surprised by that? It’s even part of the initial attraction.

[–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Kids don't think like that tho. They don't think in terms of sexual ulterior motives. Especially when they basically idolize the person.

Plus it also escalates. These kids get groomed. You think new altar boys go from heres the altar to plowed in the ass overnight?

Mr. Plow, that's my name, that name again is Mr. Plow

Victim blaming is a garbage tier hot take.

[–] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Fair enough, that’s not my intent. The question still stands though. People are not fucking stupid, where should the line be drawn? Is it victim blaming if I call someone who touches a hot stove an idiot? Probably not.

So I would say there is some sort of common sense that should be expected from people.

[–] Case@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 2 years ago

You'd be surprised how stupid people can be, especially with some sort of blinders on.

Money, sex, love... All things people go after without necessarily looking at the whole picture.

I left a better baying job that was more inline with my skill set and would have been a career step forward.

That being said, due to that job, that I left over a year ago, I still have PTSD like reactions to certain stimuli that I was overwhelmed with at that job.

Not worth the extra money.
