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.

So guys, unrelated question.

Say I have a bear that isn't a protected species that wanders around the area. Say I'm a lot of bit nervous of this bear destroying stuff towards the edge of my property, but my property edge is pretty damn far.

What kind of equipment would I need to take care of this bear, if the agencies and law enforcement wont do anything to protect me or my vulnerable neighbors from this bear?

Well, a Henry in 45-70 should handle it just swimmingly. Find someone who knows how to process the carcass first, though, they are HUGE!

That said, cops tend to dislike it when you shoot at them. Locals and ICE.

Believe it or not, I have a bear guy.

What he does with them? I don't really wanna know.

Edit: he does eat them, and apparently the pelts make awesome rugs but are a bit scratchy

I’m assuming this is a sort of coded question about how to defend trans people.

But since I’m not able to decypher it here’s an honest answer to your wildlife query.

The wildlife will live as it sees fit. If you don’t want it on your property, you will need to invest in fencing. If you wish to protect yourself from the wildlife, it means avoiding confrontations and encounters, and possibly carrying pepper spray.

Yeah honestly the best advice for encountering bears is basically "don't"

Also applies to conservatives, or Conservatives.

Firearms. They’re asking about firearms.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Encoded question? Never. It just seemed to be useful context to ask this sort of question.

[–] InputZero@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

See that makes me think you're being sarcastic, there is an encoded question, and that was an encoded answer to the the answer. Also that I really do not understand trans-coded language.

[–] peoplebeproblems@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Im not trans. And I had no idea there was trans coded language which is pretty fucking cool.

[–] JayleneSlide@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Not to be confused with transcoding, which is important to viewing media.
