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.

It's very nice of Ukraine for only assassinating 1 general today. That is a huge concession made by Ukraine. Russia should stop pushing their luck
Did Russia even say, "thank you"?
Easily avoided by leaving Ukraine..
Is the car okay?
It is better now.
He was probably smoking a cigarette and it caused the incident. Did the general fly out the window, as is Russian tradition?
I bet pieces of him did!
You win the Internet today.
Nice!
How do we know he wasn't just driving a Cyber truck?
Ukraine sends its regards.
For the Watch.
That’s a rather… pointed message to the State Department flunkies involved in this fucking travesty. And I don’t mind it at all.
Now do the traitor
Which one?
Thoughts and prayers
Nice to get some positive news
I bet Witkoff is going to condemn the attack and spout some bullshit about praying together with Putin.
Slava Ukraini! Every day all the way.
Fuck the blyats, including trump.
Did his car's pager go off?
These suicides just keep getting more elaborate
This is lovely news - thank you for sharing!
Was JD in the vicinity? If so, he's on a roll and need sto visit some dictators.
He'll be home soon, hope he bats 1000.
Could those incidents be connected?
Nah, Trump's whole team is on the Russian side. Probably just an opportunity to kill a Russia General taken by Ukraine, something you don't pass up just because the orangutan potus is down the street.
Could those incidents be connected?
