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.

Trump is Putin's apprentice, invested-in for decades, as The Kremlin Papers identified.
Currently Trump is beta to both Putin & Musk, .. however .. brains change, sometimes gradually, & sometimes suddenly.
I'm betting that Trump will break-through-a-barrier in his brain's function, converting him to his needed psychopathy, this-year, if not this-late-winter-or-spring.
I'm not certain that Musk will like being truly-beta to Trump, when that happens, though..
it's us who would be more-jeapordized, however, by that personality-punctuation..
( there are actual fMRI image-sequences of multiple-personality-disorder patients switching-between-personalities, showing the change-in-brain-energization, now in our scientific record. )
Presuming that "status quo" isn't going to be disrupted is exactly the sort of belief that knifed the Dems in the US, in their back.
Presuming that the current-personality-of-Trump is going to remain unchanged, given the ferrocious forces acting on that poor brain, seems to me, a brain-injury survivor, who has massively altered the function of this brain..
( I spent literally years much-of-the-time catatonic, in the late 1980's & very-early 1990's )..
to be incompetent: normal-people just don't understand how-greatly a brain can change, in short duration, or long..
Even if it was caused by an aneurism/stroke, would his cult permit him to be removed-from-power??
Not a chance, so long as he remained alive.
So, if he loses his mirror-neuron-system, becoming incapable of any empathy, whatsoever, in such a brain-change,
..would that change the rules of ( the nature of ) "who" is governing the US?
Certainly.
But what it wouldn't do, is get the then-psychopath removed from power.
THAT is the threat we're currently under, even-though nobody else on this world considers this to be a real-threat..
So, I place my imaginary-dime ( the only thing I bet, ever: no material-gain/loss, ever, & only imagine the physically-tiniest-coin: keep it from being the gambling that people get their lives sucked-into ) on it happening, & all the world places their bet on it not-happening.
( this also identifies that it is the role which ought be protected, & if a person's personality changes enough, or if they get caught being corrupt, then they HAVE TO be removed from the role, but NONE of the political-party rigged governments hold to this standard!
Because they aren't in it for the benefits of our countries: they only want their-own rule! )
I was absolutely-right about him openly becoming a Putin-ally, about there being "the Caucasian Serpent" ( 1 of the 3 empires prophecied in the Christian's bible, in the end-times ), & I'm betting that I'm right on this point, too.
Hopefully I'm wrong!
Wouldn't the world be better if I always was?
Certainly establishment's-beliefs would be more comfortable..
