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.

Shrugging is not an "apathy", it is "I don't give a fuck about this guy" reaction. Now take your time.
I’d argue that shrugging is definitely apathy based on the definition of the word. Laughing in a mocking matter is lack, or rejection, of empathy.
In either case, whatever.
It's a fucking stupid thing to argue about but it seems idiotic to me to suggest "if people could've shrugged instead they would have". Firstly how the fuck would anyone know this and secondly who gives a shit?
No one knows it. Someone made a comment and now people are arguing over whether or not someone would push a button over another.
If presented both emojis, I would’ve chosen shrugged over laugh because I honestly don’t care.
I was just setting the record straight about definitions because Felix said shrugging is not apathy when it actually is via a definition of “a state of indifference or lack of interest, emotion, or concern about something.”
Right well we certainly agree on the definition. I was just pointing out how dumb it is that it spawned a thread. But I'm obviously at least half responsible for that aspect
Haha! True, true. It’s the internet though. If someone posts something, it will most assuredly be argued by someone else. Is there a rule for this? I feel like there should be a rule for this.
Yeah. There definitely should be such a rule/law, if there isn't. Reminds me of the recent post that said "wikipedia rebuilt the library of Alexandria powered solely by nerds' need to correct each other"
Take your time 🙄
Aren't you just arguing with a random stranger?
