News
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.

are you suggesting that people maybe shouldn't invest so much of their time and attention on things that ultimately maybe don't matter all that much?
Basically, it was a 1 sentence review of their problem and everyone but the person I replied to decided to take it as anything other than internet fuckery.
I don't think of myself as a troll but when people cast the bait and tackle for themselves, they don't deserve feeling indignant. They kept feeding and I kept eating. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
however you see yourself, you come off like a not-very-creative troll in this thread. needling people about grammar is maybe the oldest troll bullshit on the internet and it was never funny. There are venues where adhering to a formal style is important (arguably), but a random thread on a forum ain't it. It's ok to show up in your linguistic sweatpants sometimes.
ACAB, especially the grammar police.
All Commas Are Bad?
That is funny but making fun of someone because of their grammar is just not great. Perhaps English is not this persons first language. Maybe they were not able to get the same education as you because of outside factors.
Awe, feeling sad that it's not about you instead?
Not at all. You sound like you’re 14 and trying to be “smart” in front of people who can barely stand to be around you.
You’re not even acknowledging the rebuttal to the argument YOU started, and refuse to see that they conveyed the message they were trying to deliver without your pedantic little rules.
Language is not a set of rules but a living, cognitive phenomenon and a system of communicative patterns acquired through usage.
I didn't start an argument. I agreed with another user that OP used as little punctuation as possible, and then all you sour bitches came and started harassing me. Go touch grass kid.
You made a crass statement that was needlessly rude and people pointed it out and somehow that is harassment towards you? On a public forum?
God forbid anyone disagree with you, apparently we are so cruel to do so.
i never said you were dumb, i said obtuse (for changing the topic at hand to something arbitrary) pedantic (for emphasizing the arbitrary rules if grammar) and a priss mound (for being unpleasantly self righteous about the aforementioned things) and i will never give a fuck about punctuation in certain situations or the criticisms of random bad faith internet commenters. This has added nothing to the conversation.
You're still arguing, so it's clearly added something that intrigues you.
im just having genuine human interactions with you, after you in the first place took a jab at me over something arbitrary and unrelated to the original topic, and i think even with great effort to miss the point and deflect the trajectory of conversation, its very apparent how increadibly useless bringing up grammar and punctuation is, as this seems to be an exchange filled with animosity and ill will, going nowhere and accomplishing nothing.
Many word make seem mad. The calm please.
how things seem is not always how they are, take american and global politics for example
