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.


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.

Reporter: "What is your purpose at this event?"

This is America. You need corporate sponsors, rich benefactors, or wealthy parents to get to the Olympics. Athletic talent is essential, but not sufficient.

That why Snoop was hanging around the skateboard street comp with his shitty little electric hand fan? (We have the same one.)

Maybe? But I kinda feel like at this point Snoop just wanders around doing whatever the fuck Snoop feels like doing

[–] MintyFresh@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

And smoking weed wherever tf he wants, wherever he wants, and gets paid for it. Dudes got things figured as far as I can figure.

Snoop is basically the human interest story reporter for NBC this year. He was in the stands watching the women’s gymnastics qualifiers with one of the team member’s family on Sunday.

Olympic teams need corporate sponsors, rich benefactors, or wealthy patents regardless of where they are from. That's part of the reason why athlete from poorer countries rarely do well.

Unless the “sport” is mainly about big guys in full body padding crashing into another. That’s the only time the sport is not gay and really American.

Flavor Flav seems to be a thoroughly wholesome dude

[–] answersplease77@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (2 children)

he has got multiple assault and sa charges against him

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 8 points 1 month ago

Well, shit. That’s deeply disappointing.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I didn't know that. Now I feel like I shouldn't have posted this to give him any publicity.

As the wise american once said: they don't send their best.
