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.

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.

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 Michigan Court of Appeals threw out a manslaughter charge against a Detroit gas station clerk who locked the door before an angry customer shot three bystanders, killing one.

Prosecutors have argued that clerk Al-Hassan Aiyash’s actions make him criminally responsible. But the appeals court said an involuntary manslaughter charge doesn’t fit.

It was “not reasonably foreseeable” that the customer, Samuel McCray, would pull out a gun and start shooting, the court said Wednesday.

a source that records this type of information requires a people to provide legal proof that they're breaking the law as well as providing evidence that opens them up legal & financial liability; but i'm sure you knew that and asked for a source anyways knowing that it's impossible in order to shut down a counter argument and help support your point.

the closest thing you can get to it are surveys done by pollsters and that's private information and is only shared to subscribers who are sometimes also journalists who write articles that sometimes shared it on reddit; where i learned of it from; and i wouldn't be surprised if you knew that too.

I am not aware of that. Nor of any such organization existing. Could you name what these resources are? I would be interested in learning more.

Are you aware of any articles written by these journalists? Can you share a link to the reddit post where you learned this from?

in order to shut down a counter argument and help support your point.

I'm not trying to shut anything down. This is not a "I'm right your wrong" discussion. You have your experiences which you have used to form your valid opinion. I have my experiences that I have used to form mine.

As for my "point", it was a request that people "please try to keep perspective of what is true risk / reward for pursuing vs walking away". Is that what you are arguing against?
