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.

Does cnn always do this annoying floating text thing?

So at which point do we start cutting balls and refreshing necks again?

[–] muxika@piefed.muxika.org 64 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Is there a vigilante academy that teaches people how to investigate and expose rapists so their lives are the ones getting destroyed? Because I can get behind that.

[–] KC_Royalz@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (2 children)

A school to become batman, sign me up

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

Sorry, you need Bruce Wayne money for that.

[–] brightandshinyobject@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I think step one of becoming Batman is a pretty big hurdle. Step two isn't nothing either.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Step three (the first step involving gaining skills) is pretty brutal. Then step 4 is just an extension of step 1 but requires even more luck when already only 0.1% manage step 1. Step 5 and beyond aren't very fun either.

In fact I think the only real fun part, other than the general satisfaction from a job well done, involves a cat suit, and even that is a pretty mixed bag. Stock up on disinfectant and bandaids.

[–] brightandshinyobject@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think you and I have different ideas about step one.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

What I was thinking:

  1. Be born to a wealthy family.
  2. Parents shot in front of you.
  3. Take off and get trained by ninjas.
  4. Return to a company still running well and not stolen from you while you were gone that also has an advanced military prototyping division.
  5. Practice with these new weapons/tools until you can competently use them in uneven battles against people trying to kill you while you do your best to avoid killing them.
  6. Now go out and fight those battles while keeping your identity secret because no matter how good you get at being Batman, you're still vulnerable to any situation where your opponents have planned more than you have (eg every ambush and surprise attack).

Oh man I'd love that. My ex drugged and raped me but all evidence is circumstantial so I can't ruin his life legally.

[–] Gaja0@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago

Same thing happens to people all the time. They'll send a report and take in evidence that they don't let go of. The problem is that the frequency has totally desensitized and saturated the justice system.

Excuse me - what in the everloving fuck is wrong with some people?

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Some people are born psychopaths. They look like normal people but they’re not. They don’t feel remorse or guilt for anything they do. They see other people as resources to exploit. They cannot be taught not to think this way because their brains lack the capacity to feel the wrongness of their actions.

[–] HejMedDig@feddit.dk 29 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (7 children)

At lot more than some. 62 million people (edit: visited a porn website, and the video in question has 20.000 views) and I assume it would be safe to say, mainly men

[–] 2ncs@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not trying to defend the website or the people who access it but the article says they are a porn website that host "any legal porn content" so I assume the 62 million number is a site wide number not the specific niche

[–] HejMedDig@feddit.dk 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Looks like you're right, seems like the most viewed video in the category has 20.000 views according to the article

[–] 2ncs@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

it's "20,000 videos" with hundreds oh thousands of views. The one example they give of views has 50k

[–] KC_Royalz@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

It's a miracle women still have relationships with any man. As a girl Dad, I almost would prefer her to be lesbian instead of ever dating a guy

I honestly feel like I need to apologize for existing.

[–] ltxrtquq@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

As a girl Dad

I might be a little out of the loop. Is that like... a mother?

[–] KC_Royalz@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

I'm a dad, I have a daughter. Just an American saying

[–] M137@lemmy.today 6 points 1 day ago

A father of girls.

[–] FollyDolly@lemmy.world 39 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I read this article and immediately went to thank my husband for not drugging, raping and filming me. He was like uh, you're welcome? Figured not drugging your loved ones was one of those unwritten rules, but I guess not.

[–] homura1650@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Personally, I'd like to think that is one of them written rules.

[–] notastatist@feddit.org 4 points 2 days ago

I think its a very well defined and written rule in a lot of countries.

[–] greendog@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago

Apparently we can't have nice things (unwritten rules) anymore...

[–] GirthBrooksPLO@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago

Oh nice, more man made horrors beyond my comprehension.

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago

Ah fuck. My ex drugged and raped me... I hope he didn't take pics or vids...

[–] DeathsEmbrace@lemmy.world 34 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Ah the Epstein college it was only a matter of time.

[–] meco03211@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago

A subsidiary of trump University

[–] shellington@piefed.zip 25 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That was one of the sickest most horrible things i have ever read. How can anyone want to do that to their wife. It doesn't even seem to really be about the sex. I am just lost for words, truly abhorrent.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

My understanding is that rape is almost never about sex/pleasure

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's about dominance, it's not that the sex doesn't bring pleasure it's that sex without dominance (i.e. sex that isn't rape) does not bring pleasure (at least that's always been my interpretation, I'm not a rapist so I could just be wrong).

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's the same for people like Trump.

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Probably, in a twisted way.

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

Every last one of those participants deserves lingchi. Fucking monsters.

Nightmare blunt rotation, more man made horrors within our comprehension

[–] celeste@kbin.earth 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If you think you have been drugged or spiked, seek help immediately, tell a trusted person and go to the hospital or call emergency services.

Oh, which trusted person? Not that one. A rando on the street is more trustworthy than the person who said they'd care for you until your dying day.

[–] theolodis@feddit.org 6 points 2 days ago

A close (female) friend probably. Or a stranger on the street, as you said. Whoever you trust.
