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.

Why should the Pacific Ocean be named "the Pacific Ocean" when it could be "the American Ocean"?
And also the Atlantic!
It's a little stupid to bring this up. You have to treat the Trump administration like toddlers, ie. when they ask for something, you just have to be firm, ignore it, and wait for it to go away. Raising the topic again will just make your toddler throw another tantrum.
I get that he was asked this by a member of the media, but nobody should be talking about this. You just have to change the topic - again, exactly the same way you deal with toddlers.
Yep.
Trump literally got distracted and forgot about it.
Even better, he created the distractions himself.
... What a fucking madman.
Went from 'I'm gonna invade and annex Canada, and Greenland!' to... 'My primary military ally in the most unstable and dangerous geopolitical situation in at least a quarter century doesn't know what the FUCK he's doing!'...
Am I losing track of time or was that... less than two months, less than one?
Fuck fascists and fuck placating them.
I'm not doing that.
Staying quiet because it will make daddy angry to talk about it is still abuse.
Toddlers also have to learn object permanence and that the world will still talk about toys, even if they don't have any. People will bring the annexation threats up, because it was top of mind and, quite frankly, scary for us for a few months.
And we're allowed to do that.
If Trump can be laughed at by literally the entire UN in 2018, he can withstand some talk of what he himself brought about.
Despite the jokes and fitting comparisons, Donald Trump is not a child, he is an adult, and must (not should) face the ramifications of his words and actions.
Staying quiet because it will make daddy angry to talk about it is still abuse.
Okay, fair point. What I mean is, don't bring it up unless the toddler starts talking about it again. Stupid of CNN to bring it up again for no reason.
Yeah, I get your meaning. I forgot to acknowledge that.
i think its less about not saying anything and more like not taking it fucking seriously.
because its not. its childish and should be treated as such.
Official presidential statements are always deadly serious.
thats why using it to act like a teenage bully should not be taken seriously. hes just doing his schtick to confuse and upset everyone.
I will review it in 10 years. The fascist us are never to be trusted.
That probably means the tanks start rolling in tomorrow.
We're not dealing with an evil genius here.
Like two parents having a talk about their toddler during a long car journey:
- Does he still want that icecream?
- Nah, he's watching Cocomelon now.
I don't believe Trump, nor Carney.
His first move was basically applied the main point of the conservative party's program. He uses the "right to defend" Israël's talking point, defended US's stike on Iran, introduced a conservative wet-dream bill on data control and access, and he never said a single word about environnement. Yet, all he get's is praises. Seriously fuck Carney. All over the world, the Left is basically dead. Almost like if people believe that the solution to 40 years of right wing policies is far-right policies. Whatba stupid time to be alive.
It's almost like it was Musk's grandfathers plan to annex Canada and Greenland... (it was, Joshua Haldeman and his Technocracy)
Trump got a shiny new toy...
