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.

I bet you've been just waiting for this moment, to pull that one out, haven't you?

I was a boy scout and loved The Lion King; I am always prepared.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Prepared for what?

Ill understand if you dont respond.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Everything possible and a few things that are impossible; just in case.

I was thinking more the dialog between Shenzi and Banzai.

Well I would hope I am prepared well enough to not need a pack of hyenas to accomplish my goals, and even if I did, I would very much be prepared for them to betray me, like a successful tyrannical dictator would wont to do.

And I just noticed something: that’s a white house, and the roof and upper floor has been thoroughly washed in dried blood from impaled jabronies. :(

But I'm a gunsmith, not a carpenter. You don't want me building houses. However, if you need some tips on making firearms out of things easily lifted from home depo, I'm your man.

“Alright, so get your power drill, and carefully duct tape it to the gun. That way, when you pull the trigger, you got a revolver.”

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Are you saying you can't build a gun big enough to live inside?

[–] seathru@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 5 months ago

Challenge accepted. The HOA is not going to be happy.

But a lot more stable in the long run.

So the cops are just okay with it? You don't need to arm them?
