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.

I mean yes and it also seems like people voting for specific economic outcomes without the foggiest idea of any of the consequences is the new normal. I don't know if it's the garbage media ecosystem, the garbage education system or the garbage economic system that let's some people put their fingers on the scale but something's fucked. Probably all of the above.
It sadly is the new norm.
Being closed-minded and stupid is seen as a sign of greatness these days.
"We don't want to be part of the EU, but we do want to be part of the EU."
Well it sounds like the UK would legitimately chose to be part of the EU at this point.
But, given the immense headache that was separation I think the EU doesn't want to readmit them just to have them flip flop again.
Basically, the UK has shown that they're a bunch of chucklefucks unworthy of trust.
the EU stated already that they'd be willing to accept them back, but they would go through the normal process. and very likely forget about privileges they had before, like keeping the pound
"We'd take you back, but you'd have to lose some pounds"
There is no real pressure on anyone to adopt the Euro. They can just never fulfill the requirements. Hungary joined 20 years ago and it's not even on the horizon.
I mean yeah, the pro-brexit arguments were always magical thinking
So... Brentrance? Breturn? Bwefuckedupandandwantbackin?
Bregret
Ain’t getting a sweetheart deal this time, though. Hope the EU holds their feet to the fire if they try to rejoin.
I want them to come back so bad just so I can laugh at the malding that would come with the replacement of the pound with the euro.
And make them drive on the right.
Km/h alone would be enough to make them apoplectic.
They probably still get a decent deal. At the end of the day the UK would still be a significant boost to the EU. It is the second biggest economy in Europe.
Awww, wie niedlich
