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.

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.

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.

Cabinet nomination incoming…

That's a terrible reaction for Fuentes to have to someone ringing his doorbell. What did he have to be afraid of his life for? I hope she recovers swiftly.

Right? When a stranger knocks on my door I pretend I'm not home like a normal person.

When you're scared of something outside your house, you don't open the door wide and immediately attack it? But they could just be loitering out there forever. Scaring you forever

Make no sound, tip-toe across the floor If he hears, he'll knock all day I'll be trapped, and here I'll have to stay

Our species' weakest are inexplicably scared of everything. It might've been a useful trait at times in the forgotten past, but we've evolved a lot.

It's one of those traits reserved for "persons of special consideration", if you know what I mean.

Children trust everyone. They have to be taught to be fearful. And to hate.

we've evolved a lot.

Clearly some haven't.

He said he was afraid because of what he posted online, which implies he is afraid of everyone all the time now. So, I can only assume this is the first person to ring his doorbell since he posted online, as that is his only possible reaction.
