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.

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.

I’m waiting on him to step down from this plane of existence.

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 42 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Upsettingly, he and Kissinger seem to be eternal

Gotta be a shitty person to become a Lich

[–] Hairyblue@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago

True. He must be stepping down to become a Demilich

Despite the name, a demilich was not a lesser lich, but rather a lich who had evolved beyond a need for its undead body.

[–] runjun@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Fuck, I forgot he was still staining this earth.

Kissinger is 100. He can't last that much longer... can he?

[–] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Maybe it is all the Cambodian children he eats that gives him eternal life.

[–] CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Even if he does, it doesn't really matter. He already caused immeasurable damage to the world, destroyed who-knows-how-many lives and got to live well into his 90s in unimaginable opulence.

Plus he's stepping down on his own terms, nobody ousted him. None of his enemies ever managed to take him down, and he's got his legacy all set up. When he does eventually die, it'll most likely be in a comfortable hospital bed surrounded by some the best doctors in the world making sure it goes as well as it possibly can.

He dedicated his entire life to being an evil bastard and he completely, utterly won. I don't think there's anything much that could even hurt him at this point.

That's fucking depressing

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Why do the evil always live long lives? Is it because they're pickled in poisonous thoughts?
