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 right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
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.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.

7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. 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.

The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
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.

Take your own advice. Most people do not look at the fucking stocks in their retirement portfolio.
Also, "stop being thick" - you're not from the US, are you? Literally no one here uses that phrase. Maybe stop advocating violence like you did a few comments ago?
where did I advocate violence? the violence here is the corporations. also, I am US .. maybe a diff generation? I’m over 40. /shrug.
Literally the comment that was removed. Weird how the modlog has your edited comment as your comment instead of your original one.
100% same. Over 40. US based. No one says "thick" here.
ok so - yeah I tried to edit the comment thinking the “edit” would show me the og comment - I wanted to know what was “too far” for this thread. sigh. i was probably indeed too hyperbolic. though I know I didn’t mention “the wall” lol.
still getting used to how comments and edits work on lemmy. so you can’t see the original one either? thanks for looking though.
anyway back-forth aside thanks for the replies and also fuck the criminal corporations. 💚
Agreed.
