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, 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.

Reaper just working his way through the octos, leveling up for the final boss fight. This one's a doozy of a pos too

May he burn in hell eternally.

Why do these grifting ghouls almost always get so old? Is it the pure evil which keeps their rotting corpses alive?

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 15 points 4 days ago

Some, I believe, have medical teams paid on retainer.

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 11 points 3 days ago

Best medical care money can buy, plus access an unlimited supply of acolytes to do their bidding.

Spite (and tobs of access to meds) tends to keep people alive.

Excellent. Fuck this stupid cunt and his dumbass bonus buckets.

Just in time for midterms. (I’m going to hell for that, aren’t I. )

I’m going to hell for that, aren’t I.

You good if we make a quick pitstop in Valhalla on the way there? I wanna try their mead.

I didn’t realize he was still alive.

He leaves behind a legacy of all the harm he caused to so many people.

To be fair to him, his water park was actually pretty good. I have some fun memories of going there as a kid, till they had to shut it down because it started falling apart fast enough that it wasn't worth repairing.

Lived too long

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Hell yeah, it's just a shame he outlived his ex wife

[–] tacoplease@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Flashback to when a consensual but illicit affair was enough to bring down a religious grifter.

Pedophilia, rape, and bestiality are the entrance qualifications for conservatives now.

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

My first professional job was in the same building where they had their ministry and from time to time someone would drive by and ask if they were there.

"Nope. And it took forever to get Tammy Faye's make-uo out of the place."

RIH? rest in hell...

TIL that Jim Baker hasn’t been dead for 20 years.
