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 right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
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.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
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 or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. 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.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.

MODERATORS
US is not a developed country. It is overdeveloped
Is an over-lit room an unlit room?
Is an overloaded truck unloaded?
An over-lit room can be uncomfortable, even impossible, to work in.
An overloaded truck is at best unable to move, and at worst a serious danger to everything around it.
That's not what was asked.
You can't work in an over-lit room because you can't see.
You can't use an overloaded truck because it can't move safely.
You can't live in an over-developed country because too many politicians are in the pockets of lobbyists who have pushed so much bullshit that's resulted in a massive ungainly tax code filled with loopholes for the rich and built to fuck over the poor.
It's exactly what was asked.
Neither reverses the effect.
An over-lit room is still a LIT room.
An OVER-loaded truck is still a loaded truck.
But both are equally useless as having an unlit room or an unloaded truck.
Dude.. you're fighting to have people accept something they already accept. Get over it. Yes USA is a developed country, but not just that in it self. On top of that it is overdeveloped rendering the development useless to everyday people like you and me.
I’m not fighting anything, I’m simply pointing out that it was a dumb thing to say.
What's your point?
Mine is, that capitalism has gone too far in the US. Yours sounds more like a meaningless and irrelevant wordplay.
My point is that what you said is complete nonsense.
Ok
