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.

Carruthers claims, however, that “there is no hidden agenda” and that this is about advocating for parental rights. She claims it is not “anti-LGBTQ” and that “nothing can be done these days without offending others.”

No, you’re right. It’s not a hidden agenda. It’s very open that you hate LGBTQ kids.

What parental rights are you advocating for here? I didn’t realize they couldn’t talk to their children in your state or that kids had to tell them every single thing about themselves! I’ve been parenting wrong I guess letting my kid have some privacy about things.

Does the school admin share their emails with the public? I have parent rights to know what they are talking about from an admin level that affects my child. I guess I also have citizenship rights to know what my tax dollars are doing. I mean, we care so much about everything being open, right? RIGHT?!

Why even do this in the first place?
It must be nice to live in Ohio since it seems they don't have any other pressing issues to deal with.

“nothing can be done these days without offending others.”

If everywhere you go smells like shit, check your own shoes.

If everything you do offends someone, you are an offensive person.

If you want to know if your kid is LGBTQ+, respect them as humans when they're growing up and don't be trans- homo- etc-phobic. They'll tell you at some point.

If they don't tell you, take a long hard look at yourself

I don’t think the problem people own mirrors.

So, every kid just needs to go to the school administration and say they are gay.

It's about time we give Ohio to the yogurt.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

... I need an explanation there

In the Netflix show "Love, Death, and Robots" there is an episode where a lab makes a sentient hivemind microbe colony and it lives in a bowl of yogurt.

The US ends up exchanging the entirety of Ohio for a plan on how to solve most economic and societal problems. The US dosent listen to it and shit gets worse, the yogurt then builds a starfleet and fucks off.

The show itself is a bunch of sci-fi short films all done by different studios, "Zima Blue" is fantastic and my favorite is "Night of the mini-dead".
