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.
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.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
You didn't ask, lol.
I still think you will conflate needs with wants even if in this specific discussion you chose to concede and admit people don't need to eat more than vegetables and beans.
"You do the exact opposite of the thing you just did."
Got it. Anything but admit your evidence-free guess about me might have been wrong.
I forgot- admitting you're wrong on the internet is the worst possible thing you can do.
Good thing is you don't have to convince me to prove me wrong.
I'm pretty sure I already proved you wrong.
And, of course, it's not in any way possible that I was ever poor enough to have to live on nothing but that for weeks at a time myself.
Of course, I did use spices. And I didn't need spices, so I'm conflating want and need. Unless I have beans and vegetables that are already spoiled which I dug out of the dumpster in cloudy water with no spices, I don't know the difference between need and want.
Jesus fucking Christ. Have you ever even had to live like that for an extended period of time? It's absolutely awful. It's torture.
But I don't know the difference between needs and wants because I didn't get down to the absolute basest way a human being can survive.
Listen to yourself.
I take back what I said about you being not flustered.
Please tell me when you have personally experienced the difference between need and want. Have you ever experienced it?
There's certainly a clash between their need to reply inane shit and our collective want to read their drivel.
That troll both wants and needs to be fed apparently.
