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.

If that's true, then he deserves it.
*EDIT: I love that people will say 'hey, read up before forming an opinion', and just ignore that I'm literally not forming an opinion and acknowledging it's because I don't know. This is very unreasonable.
If what's true? He had money? Maybe read up on the dude for a minute and make a real opinion. Sounds like the guy was a stand-up individual.
You're saying that a man deserves to die by lion attack if he has money.
Lemmy is a cesspool sometimes.
False.
I'm saying a man deserves to die by lion attack if he robs people of their labor. Also, this is a hypothetical, as the first part of the sentence "if that's true" means we're discussing a hypothetical and not expressing an opinion on this specific case.
...not that I'd expect random folks on Lemmy to understand nuance, and maybe don't simply make things up and put words in other people's mouths while you're at it. Thank you.
Oh - I wasn't putting words in your mouth. I understood it was a "hypothetical". And it's still awful and you should be ashamed of yourself..
Meh. True value is debatable. What value did the person who came up with the idea and the person who risked capital to make it happen contribute?
how's the boot taste?
Lemmy never disappoints. I like it here.
What is the lowest wages/(wages+profits) (after all energy, taxes, transport, marketing costs are removed) ratio that workers should tolerate? I'd say a min of 70%, but OECD countries have slipped to 55%.
PS: Bear in mind that this microeconomic wage share links up with inequality macroeconomically. And inequality leads to the decay of democracies and rule of law (because with depressed wage share economic indicators you may still have great growth numbers, but if nobody feels it in their wallet, they go vote for the loudest village idiot)
I'm just writing this to be more constructive than the average tankie, but to also make it clear that the neoliberal approach to things has unintended social consequences that end up eating your pretty conceptions of markets, risk, investment and innovation and people are growing tired of it. FDR knew this, but nobody high up seems to care anymore about regulating these forces, because that would be "socialism".
