Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

@Entropywins I feel ya, and I agree with you, but here's a friendly tip: Any argument made in text will be more persuasive if you write it like a thoughtful, educated grown-up instead of like a drunk high school drop-out.
It's one thing to be 'casual' in discourse. It's another to come across as incompetent, inconsiderate, or lazy.
Online, all anyone sees are the words you type. That's a huge part of how others will perceive you -- and everything you say -- and you should mindful about that.
@Entropywins Yep, that's what I expect from childish people.
You need to grow up.
