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.

Apparently, "where's the paycheck" is the new "where's the birth certificate."

Nobody lies about having worked at McDonald's

"I have the most basic of skills needed for one of the simplest of jobs out there!"

"LIAR!"

It's easy to mistake the scale of skill for jobs that actually require work when you have never actually worked one.

Doesn't have to be a complex task to be hard work

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Yep, simple vs easy.

as a dude who has worked in restaurants and offices... working in fast food isn't the simplest job out there, like by a significant margin. That sentiment is propaganda to keep wages low and treat low wage earners like shit.

however, I get that Trump thinks that way so your point still is right

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

I don't mean anything insulting to the workers by it. I'm just saying that high schoolers can handle a job like that easily. And used to before the economy went to shit.

[–] MattTheProgrammer@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Tell me you never worked in food service without telling me you never worked in food service. Only clowns think it's simple or easy.

It's all fun and games until thousand nugget Tim enters the lobby

[–] Artyom@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

The only person I would suspect would lie about working at a McDonalds is actually Donald Trump because he is a compulsive liar and avoids having a stable relationship with reality. For literally anyone else, I don't doubt it for a second, it's just not worth lying about.

Of course people do lol, how else do politicians prove their humble backgrounds?
