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.

If he really wanted to show trump he'd have allied with Mexico to prioritize both their sea trade routes and making a coordinated attempt to close land trade thru America...
Instead he tried to appease fascists, which never fucking works.
As Snotty Nose Rez Kids love to say:
You want him to upend massive logistics chains for... no real reason. Just so you can say fuck Trudeau.
Independence from fascist demands is possibly the best reason to temporarily hurt your economy. It's chopping off a gangrenous finger to save your arm.
I get what you're saying, but exports to the US are close to 20% of Canada's GDP, so it'd be more like chopping off an arm or two.
... It's not like there's transit fees. We'll see if Trump thinks of that, but it's also something that can generally be dealt with at the time.
Just totally shut down land trade through the center of the continent? Wars have been fought over less lol
What kind of logic are people using where that sounds like a snap decision with immediate results?
I genuinely am curious because apparently multiple people are coming to the same wrong conclusion.
Like if a 12 year old says they want to become a doctor, are you back the next day asking what the hold up is?
Is planning ahead just that foreign of a concept these days?
Yes, planning-ahead IS that-foreign a concept these days, actually..
Proof?
Brexit.
Millei's eradication of federally-coordinated education, as a means of somehow "improving" the Argentinian economy, also.
Ideology "doesn't need" to think: it "just inherently knows", see?
maybe you've been living on some other planet for the last decade-or-so?
: p
Narcissism's dictatorships never care about reality, because their ideologies/prejudices/"religions" somehow "outrank" actual-reality, youk know?
Exactly the same as how "believers" hold that G-D obeys their belief, instead-of holding-believers-to-some-Universal-standard..
_ /\ _
That's not the kind of thing you can do instantly, and it's definitely not the kind of thing you do while publicly shouting about it.
My bad, I forgot "moderates" the world over pretend there's no way to plan ahead and when something happens there's no time to react properly...
It's all bullshit, I just forgot a moderate will show up to repeat the same lie.
At least it takes longer on lemmy than other social media.
You have absolutely no clue how any part of our economy works, do you? Even if we could change the rules with a snap of our fingers, it still wouldn't happen instantly since the actual physical capacity does not yet exist.
And if you look up you may be able to catch a glimpse of "the point" waaaaaaaaay up there as it passes over your head.
But your gonna have to ask someone else to point it out next time buddy
