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.

The proof against such a system. Ouch mate. I'm not that bad I promise. I worked construction since I was 15 years old. I'm 31 now. Only in the last 6 months have I not been working, and it's only because I got let go from my last job and couldn't find another in my field fast enough before winter. Construction jobs don't hire much in the winter where I live, everything really slows down. I swung up hard when I married and my wife works at the hospital I was talking about and makes more than double what I do. She would work full time but she hasn't been at this hospital long enough for the seniority for a full time position. So she working part time until a spot opens up.
When we first met she worked in a major cities downtown hospital in a trauma centre and she worked way more than fulltime. I was working 60-80 hour weeks as a laborer insulating houses and highrises in Toronto for $21 an hour.
This is the only time in a our lives either of us has "slowed down" and I wouldn't even call it that because life is more hectic than ever with a 3 and 1 year old and another one coming. I would say we've paid our dues to our country and now it's helping us out a bit while we raise kids to help it out a bit in 20 years. It all comes back eventually. Our government will benefit from the fact that we had enough to make it through this period of our lives in a comftorable state and actually raise good kids. In 20 years our children will be in the workforce and will be returning that money in one way or another.
A good country wants all it people to be doing good. A good country should want less losers. It should support its people and especially its people who are raising its next generation. It could be argued that nothing is more important.
