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.

... So why did you link those articles?
Its almost like we were discussing the Houthi, their attacks on shipping and the motivations for those attacks.
Look if you can't follow a simple chain of comments lemmy isn't for you. I suggest childrens books with the age range of 3 to 5 years old for someone of your obvious capabilities.
You provided a source to explain how the Houthi attacks were related to the Palestinian conflict and how they were purportedly helping the Palestinian people.
Your source said despite the Houthis' claims, their attacks were on ships unrelated to Israeli.
You said, contrary to the article, that the ships were in fact related and they had been lying.
Unless I'm to understand, you're trying to have it both ways here, and saying the BBC is correct when they support your claim but the BBC is incorrect when they don't support your claim -- in the exact same article.
When your grade school writing teachers told you that your arguments and evidence made no sense and that you were actually undermining them, did you also insult them? It would certainly explain a lot about your argumentative capabilities if you belittled them instead of thinking to improve.
Your insult didn't even make sense, it would read better as: "I suggest childrens books with ~~the~~ a suggested age range of 3 to 5 years old for someone ~~of~~ with your obvious deficiency in capabilities."
By all means though, feel free to continue picking a fight with a pedantic engineer who's good with words. I haven't had a good laugh like this in ages.
I don't pick fight with toddlers who quickly resort to vacuous appeals to authority.
Vessels have no reason to publicly tell the truth if that'll get missiles fired at them. I know this is hard to understand for a pea brained engineer but people lie. People are even more likely to lie when money and lives are on the line.
Maybe they didn't cover that in your courses, personally I hope they would, as people often lie about materials used in construction which is why so many regulations exist. I'm sure they aren't required with really smart engineers like you around though!
If your options are to list Israel on your manifest and eat Houthi missiles or lie and not eat missiles which do you choose? Now if you want to shut down shipping to Isreal you have a couple of options, intercept and search every vessel or target them all with missiles.
Given the US and UK naval presence boarding won't be an option. Jeez I wonder what the Houthi will choose.
Very telling that you've devolved to strawmen and personal attacks instead of actually addressing my point:
Don't dodge it. Am I supposed to believe the articles? Or do I believe you -- and if I'm supposed to believe you, why did you use those articles as evidence in the first place?
