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. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. 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.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.


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.


9. No link shorteners.


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

they've been saying "there's a recession right around the corner!!!" for how many years now?

my prediction: when a recession finally does happen, they'll say "seeeeeeeee toldja!!!!!"

On the blackjack table there’s usually a person, we’ll refer to them as the Mystic. The Mystic tries to call every next card coming out of the shoe before they see it. The Mystic is usually wrong and it’s hilarious. When the Mystic is finally and inevitably right (they’re bound to get it right once or twice) Mystic is absolutely insufferable.

An old joke is that the best stock brokers manage to predict 10 of the last 2 recessions.

I’m ok if they keep panicking honestly

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago

Keep panicking - lets see if we can reset the market to some measure of sanity.

Why does this bot constantly get down voted?

[–] Brown5500@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago

Because it's spouting misleading information from a probably well-intentioned but not well-executed website that seems to be super right-leaning itself

[–] finley@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

Because some people don’t know how to block
