World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Have you ever had the opportunity to fleece and grift peasants with funding?
Yes as part of being on an Obama death panel I run a FEMA camp where we exterminated boomers.
I can't say I hated the job but it was just a job. Pay was meh as always and I had to switch after 2 years of no raises.
I was hoping for a real conversation.
I am a peasant so I was never provided with institutional support to fuck other peasants.
You’d be surprised what you’re capable of if you find yourself on the other side of income inequality. Until you get there, you’ll never know.
This ain't about income... This is about people who own everything.
If you work for money to live, you ain't part of the club.
As I said, if you ever find yourself on the flip side… the “fuck you money” side.
You are making assumptions here, ie that they become that away after they got the money... This a basic logical fallacy
If that’s how you’d like to end the conversation, that’s fine by me.
Your entire thesis here rests on a logical fallacy... How else would you end it?
I end it when people stop the conversation by pointing out that they don’t like the argument style, instead of engaging. Clearly this topic upsets you, and I don’t wish to upset you.
Let’s agree to disagree.
You are making shit up lol
This not agree or disagree issue. You were passing a trust me bro as some sort of fact and got called on it. Just take the L with dignity, boomer
You just don’t like that I’m suggesting that if you were rich and powerful, you would inevitably be corrupted.
My point was eventually to arrive at how people should not be allowed to become too rich or powerful.
Please, my dude, accept the L with dignity.
You are assuming that people become corrupted after they obtain wealth instead
When there is another example that is just as feasible, ie they obtained wealth because they are corrupt.
There is really no way to know which one is true either. So passing one or the other as a maxim is disingenuous.
While I do agree with final conclusion, the premise you lead with doesn't hold to scrutiny.
Okay boomer.
