So what? There's a trans kid playing basketball on my daughter's high school team. I've got bigger fish to fry.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

And how are we supposed to fix this if the next generation is godless? We need to display the Ten Commandments in schools to protect our future.
The current plan appears to be meeting god as quickly as possible.
Well, Christianity started as a doomsday cult. So I guess old habits die hard.
Always has been.🔫
Are you mad?! We can't possibly progress any further in resolving that issue untill those pictures of Hunter Biden's dick are released to the public!
Will worshipping Godless sinful billionaires score us some brownie points maybe?
Bigger fish? Where are you fishing?
You guys are finding fish?
The lake and streams by my house used have so many fish in the early summer that I’d reach in and grab them with my hands as a kid. That was only 20 years ago.
Now I’m lucky if I see a single fish on a hike.
The results of the bug-pocalypse are starting to show, and it’s going to be exponentially worse over the next few years.
its so over we're going to roast to death over here in the middle east and africa lmao
And don't you dare try to escape it, you illegal immigrant! You will roast and you will die, and that's how it is. Don't you dare come and come here to replace our whiteness.
- some dumb nazi
Or alternatively: "Why can't those people just stay in their country that we are robbing and exploiting? We're giving them jerbs! And look at all the free clothes we send over to destroy their local retailers. We're just doing them a favor, they don't know how to run a business anyway."
Wait till they discover everyone is technically an immigrant from africa lol
It's far from over, but it's going to be increasingly harder to make a peaceful transition.
As someone who lived surrounded by ocean my entire life it's been painfully obvious for over a decade now. Really frustrating to see people only start believing it once it affects them despite literal mountains of evidence proving so.
