  • If an article hasn’t cited any sources, then, imo, it isn’t news

    News are those sources for a lot of situations. Someone has to create the primary source at the point of something happening or existing. That’s a news article. This can later be cited by somebody else “As reported by Reuters at xyz…”. There exist other sources of course, which are, kinda, The News™️ in their respective areas of events. Scientific findings usually have published works as their primary source. Computer vulnerabilities use CWEs or something equivalent once made public.

    What source could a reporter sitting on a street in a civil unrest cite? Signed, ID-verified, named and double-checked-against-birth-certificate statements from people around him?

    Oh yeah that’s kinda my vibe, too. I’d just want to know how it looks inside, anyways.

    I will say from experience that if anybody here owns a Melitta Smart TS, as amazing as that machine is for the 620€ I paid for it considering it keeps up with the 2k Siemens machine, you do need to unscrew the metal plate behind the brewing unit and hold your gag reflex if you never did that before, they made a mistake with the large opening above it and ground coffee can fall in and will slowly get moist and rot in there. Luckily nowhere near the brewing actually, but such a weird blunder to do with an otherwise well-designed machine. I was wondering where that smell came from…




  • “Freedom” is a concept, it’s neither something unique to America nor is it reliant on any document.

    Funny how words change when they are put together with other words.

    “Freedom” != “Freedom of Speech”

    The second is a specific thing, it just happens to have “freedom” in its name. Much like Michael Jackson and Michael Scott are different people, despite both having “Michael” in the name, and the former is not an amalgamation of Michael Scott and Janet Jackson, either! It’s shocking, I know!

    Freedom of Speech’s meaning cannot be derived from the individual meanings of the words “freedom”, “of” or “speech”, not without having exterior knowledge as to the process of how it was created. It’s almost as if, and hold on to your hats here this is wild, it’s a name for something, not an inherent concept in itself. You even clearly have used this concept before, as you seem to be indirectly aware that Freedom Of Speech and Freedom Of The Press are different things, and surprisingly the “Freedom” part in both means wildly different things (not actually sure whether you are aware of that second part, but it’s rather crucial to how they work).

    Now, could you maybe say that in hindsight it turned out to be a bad name since the concept it signifies neither related to freedom or speech in their bare meanings? Sure. Take that up with the Naming Authority, second floor, right walkway, sixth door on the left.






  • The one who “misinterpreted” the rules is a mod of pretty much all the main subs on world.

    That’s because few want to. I’ve been asked myself whether I want to mod multiple communities because the current mod isn’t active, and some of those aren’t even small.

    (edit: Fair enough, did not even know it’s public what somebody mods - in that case however you should be inherently aware of how naturally moderating communities is something extremely few people would want to do, and how this naturally results in very few users moderating vast swathes of communities)
