News
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 biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
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. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
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, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. 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 or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
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.
Love being an international criminal.
If you're going to be a James Bond villain you need a name. I suggest the mind goblin
Or Cock Gobblin'?
The yellow on that map looks different to the yellow on the key
There are three yellows: one for unenforced prison for intercourse, one for just general but unenforced restrictions on expression, and one for countries that resrict association like Russia and a few neighboring states (slightly orange). I can check later to see if the key matches the map, but it seems to my untrained eye like it does.
Just checked in a different browser — turns out my default one with dark mode screws up the colours
It's so baffling that this is still an issue anywhere.
I know widespread acceptance is very recent but I stand by my bafflement.
It depends how old you are, and your perception of time. If you were born after 2000 and in a relatively liberal democracy, it's all you've ever know and can consider to be normal. If you were born in the 80s, you may have experienced being called "gay" or "homo" at school and seen LGBT people as perhaps bad, or felt shame for your own inclinations. If you were born a few decades earlier, you will very possibly have been against the concept of changing marriage as it had always existed as one thing, and changing it would be akin to changing the constitution which you've stood by your whole life.
Yep. I was born in 1977. To my shame, I used to use words like 'gay' (or worse) as an insult when I was a kid.
Wow good on Thailand! I'm shocked not sooner considering all the lady-boy stuff going on lol. Think they'd be down for that kinda stuff.
Yay! First Taiwan and now Thailand!!! Let's goooooo!!!
Was he in Thailand for that? From what I hear, he spends most of his time in Bavaria, Germany.
I think he just swans back when it's convenient to keep up appearances.
Good move from the Thai king.
Trying to save their own ass from the young people who want to boot his ass off the throne.
People from their southern neighbor now has more cross border marriage options 😁
