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.

Guess the test-ban treaties prohibiting this, which carry the full weight of law when ratified by Congress, don't count anymore.

Wow. That North Korean missile launch really got to him.

"The United States has more Nuclear Weapons than any other country," he said in his social media post, later adding that “Russia is second, and China is a distant third, but will be even within 5 years.”

Cheeto McFuckface can't ever not lie, or be factually correct. Ever. Even about nukes. Humanity is so fucked

The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons lists Russia as having the most confirmed nuclear weapons — 5,449 to the United States’ 5,277. Together, the United States and Russia possess around 90% of all nuclear weapons.

That might not be lying though.

Cheeto might have accidentally said a quiet part out loud...

Because there's so much more to learn by blowing up more nuclear weapons .. those 1,054 already completed tests were clearly inconclusive ..

Why is "fucking" censored?

You know you can say fuck on the Internet, right? Especially when talking about the trump/Epstein files.

Fuck fuck fuckerdy fuck, it doesn't hurt anybody

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Because it’s the “no king way,” it’s an additional joke

[–] s1ndr0m3@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Why is "alleged" censored?

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

it's a visual pun on aged. Still annoying

[–] Dogyote@slrpnk.net 10 points 4 months ago

Sounds like we won't be testing anything since no one else is testing.

[–] HurlingDurling@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Just Wednesday dictator things...

I wonder if the missiles will be pointy on top

[–] P1k1e@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I assure you the pointyness of the missile has no effect on its lethality
