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.
-
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 required to by law; only presidents are allowed to break the law. lol
Please do show me the law that Mexicans have to return their car to Mexico every night. I would like to see this law.
California Health & Safety Code §§39024.6, 43150–43156, 43203.5, 43600, and 44200–44210
Nowhere does that even suggest that Mexicans have to return to Mexico within 24 hours if they drive here from Mexico. That's just not a law. I have no idea why you think Mexicans can't legally drive from Tijuana to New York City, but they can, despite that taking over 40 hours.
They can even drive to Toronto. That would take even longer. And then they can go back through Canada and through the U.S. and back to Mexico and they can stay in the U.S. as long as their travel visa allows.
I have no idea why you think they can only get 12 hours from Mexico by car before they have to turn back.
read it, it's right there in the law: the car has to be qualified by american import restrictions and standards; which these cars do not have and will never get.
the only way to legally drive is it is to return it to a garage out of state and all of the states have similar laws.
What does that have to do with how long a Mexican can keep their car in the U.S.?
Are you under the bizarre impression that a car has to be registered within 24 hours of crossing the border?
i think you're purposely missing the point; there is no such thing as 24 hour car registration and you cannot register a car unless it's garaged in the jurisdiction to intend to keep driving it in.
any car owner knows this so you're clearly no longer arguing in good faith and i don't see a reason to continue.
Yes. And you do not have to register a car right away.
Which is why Mexicans can legally drive to New York.
Are you seriously arguing that there are no Mexican cars in New York? Not a single Mexican has legally driven to New York?
