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.

If a woman existing in public is too 'tempting' for you, then either stay indoors or rip your ears and eyes out.
A religious coworker complained about women jogging, I reminded him what Jesus said to do when your eyes cause you to sin.
Well don't leave us hangin'! Did he do it or is he a hypocrite?
How did he react to that?
Or the dangly bits between your legs.
They could investigate Nullo culture 😉
Of course they do. They are trash humans.
All of that war and they are right back to where they were before we invaded.
Your tax dollars at work.
They worked well, do you know how much oil we got, and how many defense contracts where signed? What did you think they where taking your money for? Social programs? That would be communism! 🙃
Don't forget the copious amounts of opium that were grown, harvested and sold.
The movie Charlie Wilson's War gives a nice prelude to the 2001 war. The good news is, the fraction of the cost of the war in the 80s that education of the people would have cost was saved...and spent in just days the next time around.
Oh no, the democracy bombs didn't work. Maybe next time, eh?
What if we send them to someone else first, and let them drop The Democracy right on the civilian population? Damn, still not working. Must need smarter, more sophisticated bombs...
Course its right back - they won.
More like Trump handed them a win (and all of their peeps freed). To say they “won” is reductive af
Well the USA was never fighting for arabic womens rights....
The number of well-educated men with comfortable lives who are willing to sacrifice themselves are very small. I'm not talking about people like Osama bin Laden, who are happy to send other people to die, I'm talking about the people who are willing to do the actual fighting, killing, and being killed. Some of the best solutions to terrorism are education and financial security.
Right, afghans aren't arabs
In what way do you say that?
Project 2025?
Project 1025.
same difference
yeah, project 2025 should be called project 1025 too :/
What the fuck is wrong with these people?
Religion
A tragedy for the afghan people. Even more so, since there's a sizeable chunk of their own population supporting them.
Yeah but I bet a ton of that support is on an "or else" basis.
I wish I could agree with you, but we found out that isn't true the hard way over the last 25 years....
And voices? Damn, that's a whole other level. No casually looking at men is even more edgy yet.
those Afghani trump trucks are ridiculous.
Can we donate darth vader costume to Afghan women? :D
Too sexy. Look at all the shiny buttons.
Also, there were women in that movie, which is absolutely haram.
Maybe they should just get it over with and deport all women. Rumour has it they've found a substitute or two anyway.
Just gotta be careful not to send the metal bikini
Fucking pathetic and disgusting.
