Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Wouldnt it be the feeling of getting work done?
Return to the office empowers the cartels.
The report noted changing attitudes have contributed to cocaine's spread, with the drug now being seen as more familiar and less dangerous than two decades ago.
And yet, they won't vote for legalisation. Big brain moments.
Nah, here in France we've been using the same revolutionary approach to drugs for decades now: be tougher on crime. We're more and more repressive, while usage keeps climbing. Each new interior minister scoffs at the idea of legalization, explaining instead that his predecessors failed because they just weren't tough enough.
A war on drugs also creates soldiers on the other side. Merseille is a good example.
Add this to the pile of reasons why it's a terrible idea, except for traffickers and politics looking to score cheap points with the right I guess...
France: hard on for drugs!
I can understand executives, or people in finance, being able to not just justify their use of cocaine on the job, but more importantly, be able to afford it.
Unless cocaine prices have come down exponentially in the last decade, I can't imagine being a shift worker and relying on cocaine to get through the day.
I'm going to call bullshit on this reporting. I would have believed that if they just said cocaine use has gone up, or that recreational use outside of work has risen.
If cocaine was dirt cheap, meth wasn't cheap, or if it was hard to get an amphetamine prescription, I would be more willing to accept this reporting.
But as it stands, cocaine isn't cheap, meth is, and prescription amphetamines are more common then ever.
Have you been in a restaurant kitchen? Coke is the goto for staff, even at their shitty pay. It's really rampant in our K-town districts, they probably get bulk discounts.
Thought they went to a 4 day work week.
