    Don’t fucking post images of headlines.

    Find a source that isn’t paywalled and link to the article. Or don’t post anything at all.

        People who aren’t illiterate actually read articles. You post the information about the article so that people know if they want to read it or not. Then we discuss the contents of the article with other assholes who also read the article.

        Because discussing with others who have also only read the blurb is fucking useless because nobody knows a fucking thing.

        Posting the article link both makes it easy to facilitate this while also maintaining the polite fiction that the other dumbasses could have at least in theory read the article.

        You are posting here but you have no fucking idea what the fucking point of such forums is because you are an illiterate child and then you have the nerve to get angry. You don’t have to provide a link… you don’t have to make a post either you could leave that task to the actual adults.

        Also the culture of posting such pictures results in trivial fakes blending in because idiots judge the veracity of the source pictured without any way to authenticate unlike a fucking url.

        Pictures are not reliable sources for information. It promotes a culture of disinformation.

        And blind people can’t read words in images.
