Did they just copy the article exactly and then put "- The Olympian" at the end of the title. Horrible. Original source: https://www.theolympian.com/news/natio

Yes. That's how syndication works. You pay for content, then tell your end-users where you got it from.

    No, seriously, ew. I reject 100% hieroglyphic communication.

      ⭐As in, you reject communication that is 100% hieroglyphics? Or you 100% reject the use of hieroglyphics in communication? I'm aware that the former is a subset of the latter.

        , as in, emoticons and emoji are meant to be used like punctuation.
        ada1981 7y ago
        But what if they contain an actual word, like "cool"? Did you try to use an emoticon to start your sentence and fail? Or was that a typo? See my previous post on what emoticons are still legal on HN.
