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.

Trump is about to find out how wonderfully petty Brazil can be. Elon Musk found out earlier. They are also the 9th largest economy in the world, 5th largest country, the world leader in alternative fuels, and leader on the global south in food security. Also thanks to new agreements with China and EU they really need the US.
They also are the largest producers of sugar, beef, coffee and chocolate.
Yeah, but he thinks that's what the president of the US actually is. I can't blame him for that; he's a dumb guy, and most dumb people in this country think that being president means controlling the entire world. Its not even supposed to be controlling the entire USA!
That however is not a Trump thing, 'leader of the free world ' and all that bullshit.
If there are any countries besides America in the world I'd like to see them.
You should check out Estonia, if you can. Great country bordering Russia, really cool people, and really beautiful scenery to be found all over. The Old Town (Vanalinn) is incredible, especially during the winter, with its amazing medieval architecture, like Paks Margareeta (Fat Margaret), a really wide tower built in the early 16th century.
Absolutely can’t recommend enough an extended visit.
Thats a...uh, interesting name you got there.
Get a room
Trump is an elected emperor with his new clothes on, while strings are attached to him being fingered by oligarchs.
I was in a band called Fingered by Oligarchs.
For some reason, we had great difficulty booking corporate gigs 🤷
Great, I got that visual. Thanks.
Speaking through an interpreter, Lula also expressed disappointment at Trump’s approach, saying at first that he couldn’t believe the US president’s social media post was authentic.
First time, Lula?
I wish politics and politicians didn't have to care so much about keeping that farcical decorum. I bet at least 20 country leaders would've called trump "a fucking lunatic | out of his damned mind | a deranged sockhole" on all the news outlets otherwise
That was a rethoric device meaning Lula assumed that Trump had at least some rudimentary decency in him.
