World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.

I'm not going to read all that, as I started and realized you are, once again, either being disingenuous or your zealotry is clouding your argument, either way, it's very clearly invalid from the first paragraph as you set up the strawmen again to bolster your flawed position.
As such, I'll respond up until then point you go off the rails:
I said keep religion/mental illness out of the (governmental) workplace. If you need to express your mental illness to everyone in the work place you aren't fit to work there. You need to seek help. Your display of religious paraphernalia is no different than you viewing porn on your computer/phone where everyone can see it. It's no different than you wearing other objectionable material. You just have this arbitrary line in your mind at "religion" because that's your thing and you can't conceive the fact that it's offensive to other people. It's not offensive to you, so it's ok. But other things are offensive to you, so they aren't ok. That's your bias.
There are things that are offensive to you that are not offensive to me but I'm not the one arguing to allow those things in the (governmental) workplace because I'm not a self centered narcissist who thinks my way is right and any other way is wrong. I want to treat everyone equally, which means no special carve outs for religion. You want to treat religion as a special case.
That is wrong. Plain and simple.
Welp if you are not bothering to read my replies and pretending you actually understand the meaning of strawman while basing your entire schitck around the least effective ad hominem attacks I've encountered then there's no real reason to continue.
That you won't answer even two direct questions to nail down a basic ethical baseline to expand from tells me that even you can't defend your own position for shit. Not surprising you don't want to look too closely at your own opinions in the mirror.
Anyway, it's been fun.
Let me sum up your argument:
"My religious views are right. As long as I approve of your religious choices they are ok, but I will arbitrarily draw the line where I see fit and if you disagree with me you are wrong."
That's literally what your argument boils down to.
Not even a little close. Now I just think you're dumb as shit and don't know how to read. Are you a bot? Maybe that explains why you just say the same thing over and over.
Lol ok... maybe you should go back and read what you've written. You are a religious zealot who can't see the forest for the trees and think that anyone who doesn't believe in your bullshit is wrong and crazy. Whatever dude. If you think I'm saying the same thing over and over it's because you keep spouting all your nonsense and I'm trying to educate the terminally stupid, which is obviously a losing battle.
Can I unsubscribe or something? I am not interested in your religious tirade.
Then stop making stupid replies that are full of bullshit and thinking everyone would subscribe to your stupid religion.
Yeah, sure. You really aren't coming across as anybody I would count as an authority. More like a screaming middle schooler in full tantrum...but you are progressively are getting more boring. Don't you do anything new?
I know it's hard to swallow when someone doesn't subscribe to your bullshit and just won't give in to your verbal diarrhea just to get you to shut up.... I bet it's frustrating for you, isn't it, not getting your way?
I'm sorry about your sacred cow and the fact that I won't acknowledge your bullshit as being somehow legitimate. Go back to your church and pray or whatever dumb shit you need to do to make yourself feel better
Huh. Should I construe this as Anti-Hinduist sentiments now? I mean I guess that counts as new but it's not exactly a whole new verse just a slightly different refrain. Still dull. Come on, dig deep show me you are just a little bit interesting.
