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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

I thought the Covid pandemic taught us that shorter, local supply chains were more robust and reliable in times of crisis. Have we forgotten that already?
didn't forget. you have to learn something in order to forget it.
the fact that as soon as there was a vaccine all corporate interests aligned and forced a return to office mandate should be enough to show that nothing was learned...well...at least nothing that valuable.
however, those of us who were paying attention learned something just as valuable.
you don't matter.
it's freeing frankly. I stopped putting in 16-20 hour days. now I only put in 2-3 hours of actual work and fill the rest with hobby projects.
Fuck me, I wish I still had the capacity to put in 16-20 hour days, just for a year, hell, half a year. I'd have all my debt paid off that my ex got into.
Instead I've been working 10 hour weeks. It's been helping me recover, but no progress on getting out of debt.
yeah...unfortunately I got paid the same regardless. I did directly benefit from a bonus schedule though, and made the highest bonuses in company history (other than the CEO).
then they took away bonuses. then failed to deliver on raises. then took away vacation time. then took away healthcare coverage for a cheaper carrier. then they made AI usage a performance indicator.
so yeah. they made the entire work environment toxic.
frankly the only thing keeping me around is the 2-3 hour workload.
god bless private equity investment!
I'm a contractor these days. If I bill 250 hours a month, I get paid for 250 hours. Likewise, if I bill 50 hours a month, I get paid for 50 and that's what I've been doing lately. Used to do more.
Supply chains exist so first world country can subsidize an industry they excel in and then export their manufacturng to emerging markets.
And we were going to produce green hydrogen so we could produce the ammonia we need for fertiliser without fossil fuels. What ever happens from now on, the price of methane gas will be a lot higher, at least for a while.
We don’t learn very well. If we did, we wouldn’t be in 90% of the messes we’re currently in. Human beings are largely very stupid, and I say that confidently because there are many of us who seem to be able to at least mostly handle this crazy, high-tech world, with our monket brains and all, just fine, so the rest of these idiots can absolutely go fuck themselves.
