We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

But you know what's actually helpful and contributing to the dialogue at this point? Supporting a comrade in their satisfaction that they're doing better than they were before. You didn't even acknowledge and validate that before throwing a "yes and" to make your point. Appreciate your well intentioned efforts, but this can turn some people off. I know I'd feel dismissed among other feelings. 🤷Maybe I'm soft.
