    Doesn’t the Market of Walls also encourage its employees to go on food stamps?

    Remember, if you see something no you didn’t. :freedom-hater:

    I really want to just like scream at the dining director of the place I work at and just be like “How can you not even see the callousness and monstrosity of your decision to stop people taking home containers of food, costing you nothing in the process, in the light of everything else that is going on, and how can you not see the extremity of the cowardice it takes to hide behind “well, but it’s corporate policy”” but like I’ll just be seen as a nutjob for giving such a shit, caring about it, and being able to articulate his actions for what they are, a theft from each and every one of his workers

    One widely circulated TikTok video falsely claimed Walmart would close all of its stores on Nov. 1 and only allow customers to place orders online.

    Just yesterday there was a post about some potential new rule in China about social media posts getting yeeted if the person speaking doesn’t know anything about the subject they are speaking authoritatively about.

      nonstop AI slop too. Sora2 videos of fake black women acting entitled and basically spouting shit that is so ridiculous i almost seems a parody.

      but i thought the same thing. instantly it has become a laser focused fake news and propaganda machine because they have been planning this roll out for almost a year.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

– PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE –

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like ‘Raid: Shadow Legends’ in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.
