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.

Well I mean without a consolidated NatID there aren't very many viable ways to actually index that kind of stuff

Hey NWO conspiracy big brains. I thought this was supposed to be a permanent visa?

I'm still waiting for the vaccine to kill me. They promised I only had 2 years, but here I am...

Wait, the 5G alert that went out earlier today didn't activate the nanite shed and turn you into a zombie?

Huh, you must have gotten one of those placebo shots.

2 years? Damn mine promised to kill me in short 6 months. Still waiting though, so you might have got the better deal...

Wasn’t it considered a conspiracy that they would even exist at all?

[–] JoShmoe@ani.social 26 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I lamented mine already. Its value will go up ten years from now.

[–] behindthesailboats@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] JoShmoe@ani.social 17 points 2 years ago

Lamented, yup

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago (2 children)

They lose their value if you laminate them. You wouldn't laminate Action Comics #1, would you?

[–] Khanzarate@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

You might lament doing it though and that's valid

You know ... you have a point

I threw mine out long ago. I live in a deep red state, and nobody ever asked for them anyways.

[–] squiblet@kbin.social 11 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I lived in a fairly liberal city (Denver) and nobody has cared at all since mid-2021. Funny thing is Covid rates have gone up and down since then, but if you didn't have it in 2021 some people acted like you were a total heathen.

The only time I was ever asked for my vaccination card was by a healthcare client at a previous gig. I've had more cards than I've had questions about it.

an obviously important step in the Illuminati plan to keep tabs on everyone.

I brought mine with me when I got the latest booster, and the pharmacist said that she hadn’t seen one of those in a long time.

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Brought mine too, realized it was full, so the pharmacist offered me a new one. It only has two slots for boosters, which seems ridiculously optimistic now.

[–] SheeEttin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I brought mine to my booster two weeks ago, and the last spot was still empty (I couldn't get the first shot for like six months after it was available). The woman giving the shot didn't even mention it, and I forgot about it until I'd already left.

Maybe I should have asked for it and then for a free ice cream or something.

I filled mine up a while back and just use the one on my phone wallet. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] Mobiuthuselah@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wait, no prize for a full card? WTH, you sure?

Gonna frame mine with the title "Free CDC Cardstock"

[–] popemichael 4 points 2 years ago

I'm going to still keep mine in my medical bag along with my other meds since I'm immune compromised. Just in case, etc.

[–] OceanSoap@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

I'm flying to Ireland in March for a batchelorette party and my friend was putting the tickets on her card. She asked for my covid Vax card, and I was like: do they still require that??

They don't.
