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 if there is one group we can trust it is annoymous sources from beltway insiders.

It was quietly returned to the rightful owner.

We had evidence collected but then Steve had a bit. Then Gary had a go at it. Mark got a nose bleed after his line. So then Carl, naturally, had to make sure it wasn’t murderous cocaine and had himself a bump. Then we all did one together, you know, for team building and what not.

Well, in the end, all the evidence has somehow, magically disappeared…right under our noses. We’re all very shocked. Gary’s a bit jittery.

I know warehouses and office spaces with cameras that capture literally everything with off the shelf devices. How can they not have at minimum 2MP 22FPS of every square inch of that space. I simply don't understand.

If it had been anthrax or something awful, a bomb, an empty pipe.... They have no way of knowing who put it there? Absurd.

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Seems kinda silly. I know they HAVE to investigate, but I'd imagine that once they realized it was cocaine and not anthrax, things would just fizzle out like this.

My god, who the fuck cares? Why does this even matter?

[–] BloodSlut@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago
