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.

MODERATORS
The politics may suck, Ron Desantis is a moron, but South Florida is largely liberal unlike central and northern Florida. Not everything is about politics, you know.
The quality of life in NYC is abysmal, especially in Manhattan unless you're rich, and you damn well know it's true. When I lived in Brooklyn a few months back I was paying $2500/month for a 600 SQ ft one bedroom that had in wall ACs that weren't sealed properly and let all humidity in during the summer and the cold during the winter which of course increased my already high ConEd bill, a dishwasher, and pay to use laundry in the basement. I also had practically no storage space, my kitchenette had one drawer for stuff. The only subways were the F&G which were a 10 minute walk away, there was practically nothing to do in my neighborhood (Windsor Terrace, by South Slope/Park Slope which was a 20 minute walk). It took minimum 25 minutes to get into Manhattan, downtown Brooklyn was about the same unless you biked there, and who really wants to ride a bike during the scorching summer or late fall and during winter? Not me.
I now live in the equivalent of FiDi. My apartment is 800 SQ ft, I have central air, more storage space than I know what to do with (I have a freaking walk in closet!), washer and dryer in the apartment, a dishwasher, trash pickup every night (I put my trashcan outside my door and they take it), an in ground pool on the roof with a sundeck and cabana with gas grills, a full gym, a huge club house with two pool tables, and a freaking movie theater that you can pay your own content on. It's also a 10 minute walk to all the shops, restaurants, and nightlife around here. I'm paying $100 more a month for all of that. I feel like I'm living in a fucking palace. The equivalent in Manhattan would easily be $3800-4000 per month, I know because I looked and was about to move back to FiDi and drop 3 grand for a tiny place that was at least nice, before I got laid off.
Also the city doesn't smell like ass and there isn't trash all over the place like there is in Manhattan.
It's currently about 75F here with a nice strong breeze, it feels like a warm late spring day, not uncomfortable in the slightest.
Lol I mentioned nothing about politics. Its hot and humid as hell there and you have one of if not the lowest elevation of any state.
