WASHINGTON—In a move that significantly restricts the eligibility of thousands of American troops to fight for their country on the front lines, senior U.S. military officials announced Wednesday that all men with girl names would now be forbidden from serving in combat roles. The ban, which goes into effect immediately, prohibits male personnel with clearly […]
WAOW this sub is awful fake news everywhere…
Goddamnit, I didn’t look at the source. Fucking ban onion posting in non-fakenews coms.
your fault - read the article next time before commenting
I’m autistic and I take things literally. But thanks for trying to shame me about it. Fuck off.
you literally did not comment anywhere on this thread besides your original comment above so the fact you’re taking my response as ‘shaming’ when it is clearly light ribbing is incredible but my apologies you got the wrong impression
Well, again, I’m autistic, I read your comment literally. Apologies for taking the joke wrong, and also apologies for telling you to fuck off.
Autism doesn’t make you lazy or unable to read more than a headline
Gonna have to disagree on this. Keeping Onion posts out of c/news is understandable, but this isn’t c/news, it’s c/chapotraphouse. This was never a 100% super serious all the time news comm.
Real news - Military adds gender dysphoria screening to troops’ annual physical amid transgender ban
I am torn on this. The Onion bits are to close to reality for me to remove them from this comm
i will do a mod crusade if you start removing Onion posts from this comm because people can’t click on a linked article before commenting
Another mod removed it, I restored it. The Onion is not at all in the spirit of what the fakenews comm was meant to contain.
the people’s mod Nakoichi
the other mod is a fascist sorry
Removed by mod
The onion belongs in the kitchen with other vegetables.
Stop being headline reactionary & click on the articles you want to make a comment on if you keep getting fooled!!
@other-mod remove it again
The fake news mod was meant to contain fake news
That’s the issue though, isn’t it? If people clicked into every link, we wouldn’t need a fake news com. But sometimes people don’t, and spreading bullshit is still spreading bullshit
this is the chapotraphouse comm, not the news comm. If you are browsing the Chapotraphouse comm and expecting to find news headlines or posts that aren’t satire, I’m not sure what to tell you other than ‘go to the news comm’.
The reason we have a fake news comm is because Melina wanted it & did a comm request for it. You are coming at this as if the fake news comm was created to contain non-serious posts, when that was not the case.
I just scroll the front page, where I unsubbed from fake news because that shit is annoying as fuck. Do you really expect people to click on to every single link?
No but I think at least seeing ‘oh this was posted to chapotraphouse’ would key you in that maybe the headline US Military Banning Men With Girl Names From Combat isn’t serious and you would click on it before committing it to memory as something real that is happening/commenting.
Maybe this is just me though.
People post real news to this sub sometimes. It is not unreasonable to think that a person banning the fake news sub thinks they’re banning fake news. We don’t enter this world with the deep lore on fakenews’ origin story.
there are 4 real articles on the first page of this comm right now. and before someone makes some smug comment about not reading the article, i did click it to read it and went “oh damn it this is the onion”
idc that much but it is a little annoying to have real news mixed in with fake news, and i prefer being able to hide those sorts of posts altogether.
WAOW this sub is awful, real news to compliment my fake news??? everywhere…
