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.


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.

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.

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.

If I ever went into a sales office and saw someone with that beard I would walk right out.

Wow. I thought you were being a bit overdramatic, but no, I fully agree.

That's 100% drawn on with a sharpie along the edges right? It also looks like he's wearing blue contacts.

It looks like a photo filter minecraft style beard, how tf do you make an actual beard look pixilated? Look at the outer edges

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

That's why I'm convinced it's sharpie or makeup. You can see it really well on his chin right below the corners of his mouth where hair typically doesn't grow as well. You can see the hair sticking up in the center of the chin but along the edges it looks like skin painted black.

I really don't like those hard beard edges. Haven't met a person with that style beard that wasnt a piece of shit.

Oh wow, I hadn't noticed because I read the article on my phone. But now I pulled it up again on a full-size display and it's absolutely atrocious. Hahaha.

A Bain spokesman said that Enhance Health upholds the highest standards of compliance and that it is collaborating with state and federal agencies to enforce advertising consumer-safety guidelines.

The same Bain of Dollar General and Mitt Romney? Preying on poor people *and taxpayers?! Nooo! /s
