A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Quick, post it a third time
It just applies in so many situations!!! 🤷♂️
To choose SA of all places for this particular agenda has to be the most ironic thing I've heard in a while 🤦♂️ quite brave asw considering Musk's family history
Ramaphosa was right to ask "I'd like to know where that is", when the "evidence" was shown to him live.
Other world leaders should be prepared to challenge Trump right to his face when he fabricates lies like this in those pathetic ambush attempts.
Lying liar lies again.
Honestly, I don't know if he's knowingly lying or just genuinely fucking stupid.
Fun fact, it’s both! He knows he’s lying all the time and doesn’t care. He’s also stupid.
My theory is that he's so narcissistic that he genuinely believes every thought that comes into his mind is the truth.
You can tell he is lying because he's talking
Same energy.
How does that happen? Who goes "text text text, blah blah blah, now I need a specific flag, let's definitely type 'flag' and tediously look for the right one, because typing [country name] would be too easy"? I get that they look VERY similar and I couldn't tell you which one is which if they're side-by-side but that doesn't fucking matter if you simply ask your keyboard for the country! Gaaaaaawddddddd.
Romania: 🇷🇴 Chad: 🇹🇩
Same for stereotypical USians going "yeeeeah 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷"
Legit identical on my phone.
Also I use the Liberia flag ironically all the time. It's fun to see who notices.
There's a miniscule difference in the yellow. Also eeeever so slightly more "shine" in Chad's red.
source believe me bro
Not for me
This is what I see.
i second
I don't think anybody in our federal government that's in charge of anything has any good intentions at all at this point
he would have said that these were real coffins for white farmers children if they didn't have the palestinian flag on them.
A lot of really distateful comments here, genuinely surprised they weren't deleted by mods
