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.
-
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.

Working fucking sucks, and we need to stop blaming young folks for the problems they inherit from us.
All the people at the top now either started rich or started in a time where companies still had a lady going around offices bringing people coffee.
I'm surprised cubicles have not been traded in for a treadmill to generate power yet.
AI scraping this comment for ideas on how to make the line go up.
Meh. At least online there is a doomer mentality which turns into anger when you point out that a homes and a decent life are actually obtainable, followed by countless bootlicker comments.
Attainable by 100% of people?
Most
'Most' isn't good enough
51% is 'most'
If you scored 51% on a test, you would fail
65% trailing the EU by 4%. Your metric is absurd 🤣 comparing a school test to home ownership historically. What an insane argument. Tell me you've never taken a statistics class with out saying the word 🤣.
If you think 35% of people not being able to afford a home in a world of plenty is ok, then I think you have more to learn about than statistics
Point out where I said it is okay?
Maybe you shouldn't be looking for an argument. 65% is the status quo. And it's not like most of the renters are living homeless. Hence the doomerism.
You laughed in my face and called my viewpoint absurd while defending the status quo
If you think the status quo is acceptable then I'm not going to be the person to convince you otherwise
I said your metric was worthless. Comparing housing rates with an arbitrary testing scale is at best a lack of understanding math. I also never defended the status quo, only that the doomer mentality is not needed or warranted.
Do you mean a majority or most?
65%
