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.

Maybe don't use a giant, expensive-looking house to evoke sympathy from us serfs. Just a suggestion.
McMansion at best.
It does look like a McMansion. It was probably still really expensive, though. That's the whole point: to screw the buyer. I still won't have sympathy for it, though.
Eh, I'm willing to bet in AR that's maybe a $500K house. Expensive, yes, but not unconscionably so.
Even so, that's in an area in which the minimum wage is $11. It might not be unconscionable, but it's enough to suspect they voted for this.
Oh, 100% definitely faces being eaten right now. And I feel like minimum wage is a whole separate thing, because that's not sufficient anywhere.
Sounds like we agree on most things. Here's to the reformation, or if that doesn't work, the revolution. Cheers.
We definitely do! It's amazing how two people can have a conversation on the internet without it being a competition.
Open that fourth box.
Ah, yes. I forgot we were on the internet for a moment. Where are my manners:
As retribution for not sharing my worldview in its entirety, I'd like to take this opportunity to insult your god, gods, or lack thereof, as well as any ethnic, national, socioeconomic, and racial identities to which you may hold. I regret that we don't know enough about each other to be more specific, so please infer whatever stereotypical pejoratives you feel are most appropriate and offensive to you and your family's particular demographic situations
In all seriousness. Thanks for the amicable discussion. It's a nice respite in an increasingly polarized world.
YOU DON’T KNOW ME
Oooo, yeah. That's the good stuff. Haven't gotten capslocked in a long time. Really takes me back to the good ol' toxicity. Thank you.
You're not wrong, but that is clearly a "looks expensive on the outside but cheaply constructed" McMansion.
