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.

They both look like they've had a lot of gender-affirming care.

Having grown up in the 90s having to endure "homo", "gay", and "retard" being extremely common insults can we not turn yet another way people can be different into an insult?

These two clowns' actions give more than enough ammunition to craft a good insult without getting into appearance or wielding people's identities as a weapon.

Probably I'm missing something but I've read the parent comment as a way to highlight the hypocrisy behind making extensive use of something while, simultaneously, wanting to bar others from using it

I don't see an insult in there, given the choice of words and the context, but maybe I'm missing something fundamental?

I don't think you're missing anything, but I also understand how you could be guarded about that sort of thing, given the history of the way anyone who's even a little bit different is treated.

The insult is about the hypocrisy, not the health care. You've missed the point entirely.

The usual distinguishing factor is choices vs innate. If they've decided to make "cheap plastic surgery that already is outdated from cheap plastic surgery trends" their identity, that is their choice.

She sure can grimace like nobody's business.

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

That's her smile actually

If Don Jr is like his dad -- he is -- then he is X number of wives behind. Gotta get those numbers up.

He's also short at least one Stormy.
