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.

Frederiksen offered closer co-operation with the US on military bases and mineral exploitation on the island, but senior European officials said Trump baulked at the offer, demanding full US control.
You could get everything without being a colonialist bully! FFS.
I was hoping it would say someone finally told Trump, "Bitch, get back in your place because no one is putting up with your shit." Imagine my disappointment at the reasonable attempt to lower tensions and appease.
Serious politicians (and I use that term loosely) are not used to dealing with someone as utterly demented as trump on a daily basis. They're used to long boring meetings and talking politely behind each others backs. Not ... this.
People had a hard time understanding Hitler at first, too, and he wrote a fucking book about what he was about to do before he actually went and did it.
Trump is head of state of the most powerful country in the world, with a Supreme Court that seems willing to crown him king, and he's psychologically unstable. You can't tell a man like that to fuck off.
Thanks, Americans, for putting us all in this situation.
I would have hung up on the dirt bag. FDJT and every single one of his mindless sheep.
Better: just tell him greenland is full of spanish-speaking mexicans, it's the only place he hasn't talked about annexing.
If that doesn't work, Greenland could always take all the undocumented immigrants the US deports and become a booming nordic economy that would be a pain to invade. And imagine the irony.
