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.

MODERATORS
Translation: the EU still retains some elements of democracy.
I would say autonomy instead of democracy. Many countries here have the same bi-partisan system with both sides being financed by competing (or not) mustache-twirling villains, and ultimately nobody knows nor has a hand in what happens in Brussels... The only reason we're not more cucked by the powers that be is because our populations are more reactive (?).
Dammit, I thought we'd always been at war with Eastasia.
I'm scared by how often I've seen that book referenced in the last few months
Hes gonna fold on the eu too...
One of the reasons Putin put him into office was to sabotage the EU. The others were to destroy NATO and cripple the US economy.
The Chinese have already laid the outline on how to handle Trump's tariffs. Just match the rates and then wait for him to cave. Then he'll announce how they reached a great historic deal
He speaks like such a child.
He needs to be understood by his supporters.
Sometimes I wonder if he is really that stupid or is just pretending.
He's really that stupid. Source: am US citizen and have had to follow his nonsensical ramblings far too closely over the last 6 years.
Idiocracy
He has like two or three phrases max on his repertoire and he just vomits them all over the press at every occasion, huh? 😅 And this is the person a good chunk of Americans (perhaps not a majority, I know democracy in America is iffy to say the least) thought was at least competent enough to lead? Oh boy oh boy oh boy...
And his limited vocabulary keeps shrinking even more. But don't call it dementia or the MAGAts get all sensitive.
The children will have to tolerate discomfort to mature as people, like we all have.
The US is the one that has all the cards but it's the EU that's unfair? How does that work?
Typical bully.
He's not completely wrong. EU can be nasty, but it takes time. It's pretty bureaucratic, so it moves a lot slower than China. And at the moment EU is moving towards killing the US's entire digital services in retaliation now that normal negotiations failed.
What does this mean in practice?
Strict rules on EU data and heavy fines for breaking those. Tariffs on taking EU data out of the EU. Changing tax rules on services and advertising. Basically make having a foreign digital service in the EU unprofitable.
Thanks for explaining, that sound good. I hope we can also squeeze in Year of Linux on the Desktop as an added bonus.
I'm getting a little tired of USA
Stop, orange man, you’re making me blush :)
Stop, Donald. Take a break. Go play golf
Nothing is nastier than the Orange Turds’s diaper.
He’s such a child. If anyone doesn’t give him his way immediately, he starts calling them names.
I went to China on a business trip about 10 years ago. I was gobsmacked by how good they are at flattery. I was totally unprepared for it, and they didn't even want anything from me.
I thought it was Canada that was “nasty”. Go fuck yourself mate.
Canada has been nothing but warm and welcoming to my partner and I
Except for the weather. Last winter was rough lol (but I'm used to snow)
Considering that he hurt the US economy considerably in the process of getting tootled by China, I don't think he has credit to spare for repeating the same process with the EU.
As the "kids these days" say:
Cope.
Donald Trump is a tool bag
Everyone despises him, China just hides it slightly better
This is like the pot some idiot left on the fire and burnt the stew into a solid block of char calling the kettle black.
Dude is a freaky nasty shitbird.
Remember Musk calling for a free-trade agreement not a long while ago?
I'm doing so well just believing the opposite of whatever he says.
