Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in !yurop@lemm.ee. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.
(This list may get expanded as necessary.)
Posts that link to the following sources will be removed
- on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons)
- on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
- on Hungary: Euronews
Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media. Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com
(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)
Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the primary mod account @EuroMod@feddit.org
Joffrey's at it again I see.
[β¦] and nearly two dozen other offences, Norwegian police said on June 27, handing the case to prosecutors to decide whether to press charges.
You know, I completely forgot that Norway, too, has a decorative monarchy. Thanks for reminding me, Joffrey.
Joffrey, is what people call him here.
Norway is Europe's hime grown oil monarchy, and the only one not native to the Middle East.
It really is very much not an "oil monarchy"
Of course he did it. Just look at his face, your honor.
Phrenology back in fashion?
Phrenology is quackery.
Except in this case.
He has bad blood for sure
"I have been waiting for this moment, Mister Bond" ass mf
He calls it "the triple crown".
Norway does not believe in cruel or unusual punishment. I think many of us have seen the clip from Michael Moore's doc Where to Invade Next?. Give him the maximum sentence (20 years) or close to it in Ringerike.
But...
"Penalties in society" means the offender will serve at least some of their time out of jail and will have to meet with an official a specified number of times as ordered by the court. In return, individuals can stay out of prison if they follow the court's rules. In most cases, criminals retain their current employment, or the court orders employment, and they may remain with their families and continue their normal life. Penalties in society are only imposed if there is no burden on the victims, their families, or society.
It depends. Norway avoids sending people to jail willy nilly but it also has provisions to remove dangerous people from society if needed. And the court will probably be under pressure not go easy on him in order to not create even more resentment towards the royal family.
Yeah, he is an easy target for the courts aince he isn't actually a member of the royal family. He's the crown prince's step son and not in line to the throne.
Even if was an actual prince they would probably use him an expiatory goat to show the royal family takes the law seriously, which is particularly critical with MΓ€rtha Louise's shenanigans already staining their reputation. Him being just the prince's step-son just makes it a no-brainer.
This is like the fifth picture I've seen of him and idk why but everyone of them he looks like he's sniffed shit. That's up with that?
Assholes can be found anywhere.
It's much more likely when your entire life is based on believing you were born superior to everyone else.
He is explicitly not superior. His siblings will be royal, he is not.
They're all explicitly not superior.
