As this community continues to grow, we are noticing periods of time that moderation isn't as responsive, due to most of the moderators being asleep at that time.

3 deputy U.S. Marshalls killed. 8 total officers wounded/dead. They were serving a warrant against someone having a gun that isn't allowed to. 1 accused dead. Others in custody.
Soon it will be undeniable that FSD is the most advanced and safest self-driving system on the planet and the haters just need to accept it. It's a good thing because it's literally saving human lives....

The path to the April 1 attack started months ago, as aid groups desperately looked for ways to feed millions cut off from regular food deliveries. Gaza was sealed off by Israeli forces within hours of the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas militants that ignited the war. Since then, more than 33,000 Palestinians have been killed and more...

Our rules are clear. We remove all content that is reported if it breaks our rules. That means I've removed some comments by you, as well as ones against you. Just because you would rather we kept things you agree with up, that doesn't mean we are performing "censorship to serve an agenda"
The only person laughing is usually the person who made the joke and it's generally just irritating to everyone else who just wants to get on with their day. I might feel differently if we like, got the day off work for April Fools Day I guess
If the argument is that marijuana is bad for health and it should be illegal, then with the same logic, alcohol should be illegal because it's also bad for health.
Nope. You did great. Our rules state that a post must contain a link to an article. Keeping the video as primary, and adding a link as the comment suffices. We usually don't give the warning, but I felt that your post added good context for the news surrounding the breaking news.
As is stands, parents are able to claim their children as dependents on their tax returns, which lowers their overall tax liability and in effect means that the parents either pay less in taxes or receive a higher return at the end of each year....
Upvoted because you're dead wrong, in my opinion. Your argument incentivizes the demise of the human race by saying "stop having kids to save money". Society is made up of generations. Get rid of the youngest generation, you remove humanity.
I'm not hearing the japanese voices while reading the subtitles, I'm hearing my own voice. Also too busy reading to understand it. Cannot look away either. Voice acting in most dubs is alright....
Downvoted because I agree. I type at a computer all day. When I get off, the last thing my tired brain wants to do is read more. I know - I'm lazy, but I'm TIRED.
(looks at !iowa that I mod) I feel personally attacked.....
Seriously, I get what you're saying. I do it because I don't have anything meaningful to say when nobody else is posting, but I want the community to not die.
Arrow down, because I always thought that was how you should do it. Wife showed me her using a fork, and I was like "what kind of monster raised you?!?"
Yeah. The admins locked it down a few days ago, as there was no active mods. They put out a request for moderators. They picked 3, and we're open again!
That's a valid question. The mod team here is still working on ironing out rules and other things. That should be a topic we discuss. With that said, for now, political posts can be here, but the votes will determine if they are seen. Again, this is for now, while we try to stabilize things and determine our approach.
Be civil: Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
I'm the one that banned you, after numerous complaints about a large amount of your comments were in violation of this rule for multiple reasons.
I'd be willing to moderate. I am currently a moderator of !news, as well as 2 other smaller communities.
I'd like to see this community work as intended. Unpopular opinions that are valid are liked more, while common/popular opinions aren't. This will hopefully generate more discourse. Rules would mostly stay the same, with the expansion of rule 1 to include rule 1 that we have in !news, as well as adding "no self-promotion" to rule 3.
OK. You're both behaving like kids. Stop it, please, or I will be forced to enforce the rules on this whole flame war, which will result in 3 day bans for both of you. I really don't want that.
FYI: when you both go this far down the rabbit hole, you both lost.

The U.S. Supreme Court has set April 25 as the date it will hear Donald Trump's claim of presidential immunity from prosecution on charges related to his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss - the last day of oral arguments of its current term....
You are correct. Mr. Smith's team requested that the SCOTUS review this months ago. Long before it was brought to them by Trump's team, as a way to expedite the process, and stop the "play out the clock" approach they take.
Most times, precedent is set by what the court decides NOT to review. When they say nothing, they are saying "the lower court has it right". This is standard practice.

If you're against legalizing marijuana then you have to be for banning alcohol
If the argument is that marijuana is bad for health and it should be illegal, then with the same logic, alcohol should be illegal because it's also bad for health.
