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.

It's a once in a lifetime event, so.... /s

[–] qantravon 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

My entire adulthood has consisted of one unprecedented once-in-a-lifetime event after another, and on occasion the same kind nearly back-to-back. This won't be the last.

Do you believe in karma?

Edit: LOL I meant to say "reincarnation" as a joke for the "once in a lifetime event" as in they've had several lifetimes already and they just don't remember it happening.

[–] qantravon 7 points 2 days ago

I'm not talking about things that have happened to me specifically, rather events broadly across the Earth that should be rare happening on a more and more frequent basis.

I don't believe in karma as some kind of cosmic balancing force, but I do believe a lot of it is the consequences of our actions a-la climate change.

Good karma? Sure whatever.

Bad karma? Hell fucking no. We cannot take a single chance these shitters will get away with their fucking around without finding out.

Uhh check yourself. Do you think you will ever experience La on fire in janurary 2025 again?

Dumb!

Will there be an LA in 2026?!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

At the risk of being too morbid, it definitely is once in a lifetime, for the people who died from the fire.
