“Years ago now — 15 years ago — I was in Washington doing ‘Meet the Press.’ It was a sunny Sunday and lightning struck at home on a little lake that is outside of our home — not on a lake, a big pond,” Biden said.
“And it hit a wire and came up underneath our home into the heating ducts, air conditioning ducts. And to make a long story short, I almost lost my wife, my ’67 Corvette and my cat.”
NYPOST does not meet the rule 2 requirements. Not even close.

One thing I’ve learned is that “I know how you feel” and “I can imagine” makes people feel minimized. “I can’t imagine how you must feel” is much better.
To those reporting for rule 2–
Please note that currently, content from NY Post is acceptable.
As I’ve shared previously, this chart illustrates the foundation for the original rules, established prior to the implementation of a blacklist. We’ve mentioned a few times now that the middle 3 columns are “preferred”, while the outer columns on both sides are “less preferred”. It is also worth emphasizing that the assessment of these sources will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
After reviewing this, and comparing it to an article on the same subject from business insider, it is my conclusion that I’d prefer the use of the business insider article over the NY Post piece. This is because the NY Post article, especially towards the end, tends to deviate more into opinions and subjectivity in contrast.
As always, the blacklist is accessible to the public here.
Edit - OP, please respond to acknowledge you have seen this and understand why your post will be removed and that you are free to repost using the other link.
They properly wont reply because it gives them the “They are canceling us!” victimization they want.
I am going to remove it within the hour regardless, I’m just giving them the time to acknowledge this first and see that they’re free to post the other link before I remove it and they can no longer reply to save the effort of them messaging the mods asking questions.

Removed, you can feel free to post the other article.

I’m not sure what your lemm.ee is (was), that link is just a direct link to the lemm.ee instance. I don’t believe I banned it, and looking through the modlog I don’t see any users of the same username banned within the last month at least, so I cannot give you an explanation unless you can give me the username and/or link(s).

Yeah, so you’re not banned here, I think you’re banned on the instance as a whole. Even when I log out of my account your profile says “banned” at the top, which wouldn’t show up regardless if you were simply banned from a community I moderate.

I have no idea, I’m not an admin, you’d have to contact them about that. They can be seen on the lemmy.world home page.

No one personally attacked you here, but in the future, if you feel someone has crossed the line you can use the report button. However, with the admitted instance-wide ban evasion I’m not sure how much longer this account will last either.
Too bad he didn’t do something useful like throw a couple of rolls of paper towels, am I right?
When Biden said he almost lost his corvette, that got me in the feels 😢😢
