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.

And you don't think the rich benefit from that?
words are hard
You've made it this far while entirely avoiding taking a fucking hint so expecting you to read words and be permitted to interpret them yourself is just completely unfair, so here is the definition:
No shit, Sherlock:
What you said, that I responded, "no shit sherlock", to is superfluously obvious. It required literally no work of thought to comprehend.
So here's how I handle posts that start by linking to dictionary.com; I assume the person on the other end is a pretentious douche, I stop reading, and I reply to explain why so they don't waste any more time writing things I'm not going to read.
Lol, maybe next time just think before you type. It's not hard. And maybe the fact that you have met so many "pretentious douches" should tell you that maybe the rest of the world isn't as pretentious as you are simple. Maybe the common denominator in all of your experiences with assholes is you. And maybe outsourcing your critical thought to everyone around you makes you an incorrigible drag on society. Good thing you didn't read this though.
Didn't read that
