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.

Some will get lots of valuable experience. like for example getting split into 357 pieces. Where else will you ever get that experience anywhere?
The Stargate Command? Aperture Science? both even assemble you back, and pay for it
Remember when russia had a star gate and then the US broke theirs so they had to use the russian one? Ah yes. There was collaborative partnerships but now they have thrown all that away to satisfy putin. russia will be announced like they announce Peru or Chile...the little nation that is troubled but somehow still makes the news. But it will take a long time. First they gotta lose the war, they're taking their own sweet time doing that but they're getting there. And then probably a decade to lick all the wounds. And then...news 10! At 10! Watch as Vlad the Propeller, the new ruzzian leeder trips over a microphone cable! It was hilarious 😂😆!...
SGC had the BC-304 at that point. They could have just grabbed a gate and DHD from any uninhabited planet.
It's actually a major plot flaw that Russia was given anything at all since there was no DHD at that point (and thus any DHD obtained would have overridden any other gate on the planet). Russia had no pull, other than jumping the gun and telling the public at large.
God... Why do I know all of this so readily?
You're not alone. Just call 1800SG10000 they will....oh who an I kidding! Yeah you're alone. Man I had to vaguely remember anything about the russian star gate thing. I didn't even remember it had that dhd thing missing. You better forget enough. You're on your own buddy!
