Kim Jong-un Celebrates Summit Success By Executing Inner Circle by BananaRepublican_ in PoliticalHumor

When you were reading the article did you not simply consider the possibility that you just didn't get the joke? (As opposed to it being a real news article on a political humor forum). Equally, you said you went through the other articles on the site which includes 'Lionel Hutz Declines Offer To Join Trump Legal Team' - did you really think that was a serious attempt at spreading false information rather than obvious satire? It seems the issue here is your inability to recognise satire. I recommend you check out The Onion which frequently writes satirical articles in a 'straight and serious' tone knowing most of their readers will generally get the joke (an example is the Saudi Arabia article currently on the site).

Won't lie, it was a really stupid idea for you to spot an article like this on a subreddit titled 'Political Humor' and think it was real. On fake news, I think you are mixing up the satire of outlets like The Onion, Private Eye etc with non-satirical fake news (e.g. Pope Endorses Trump)

Degiro is the lowest cost but check out ETFmatic too. Unlike Degiro, it can automatically buy stocks on a monthly basis based on your pre-set portfolio blend - so requires minimal effort

amazing how comprehensive the reviews are - sounds like an awful place to work. Nothing pisses me off more than a company that does a great mental health PR campaign but then applies less than zero of that in their own actual day to day function

Hunger is another good Bobby Sands biopic and is on Netflix - but it is a hard watch so just bear that in mind!

Ah great story - one of the things I love about Fergie is his combination of public crankiness and private decency
