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.

Destiny says that this doesn't count because it wasn't ordered by the president of the United States
Who the fuck cares what that schlub thinks anyway? Seriously, how the fuck did this guy get so goddamn big and well known? He's a joke.
I think they're being satirical. No one of any actual intelligence takes what Destiny says as truth.
He was a mid StarCraft 2 player who said funny things when he got mad, I have no idea how it got to this. He was never funny on purpose, it was funny watching him be salty and now hes some political commentator.
I didn't think about him until he embarrassed himself in front of me and nkw it's all i can think about im obsessed with it
What did he do to embarrass himself in front of you?
Destiny had a "debate" with Finkelstein a few days ago on Lex Friedman where he verbatim repeated every piece of debunked Hasbara available it was quite embarrassing to watch. Example:
When Finkelstein said that the IDF murdered four children on a beach Mr. Boneri said that was a lie and those children were inside a "Hamas compound. A simple Google shows Mr Canoli had no idea what he was talking about
Israel exonerates itself over Gaza beach killings of four children last year
So the "The IDF investigated themselves and found they have done nothing wrong" is basically every argument for pro-israeli grifters.
Damn. Destiny recently said that he could finally start to read on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a result of getting medication for his ADHD. I wasn't expecting that to turn him into an even bigger moron.
Vyvanse and Adderall don't make you smarter. They make a train wreck
Not if he actually has ADHD... Dunno if you've ever met someone who is actually legitimately prescribed Adderall, but it doesn't make them tweak out. It makes them able to concentrate more like a neurotypical person.
Destiny is just a train wreck because he's an idiot.
i have been and am both of these things
Maybe you need a better doctor, or a different medicine.
i am sober now, so i am just an idiot with adhd.
Plenty of people with ADHD take Adderall because it helps them function. Don't universalize your experience with a specific drug designed to help a specific kind of brain, specially when there's plenty of people with opposite experiences.
How did the President of the United States get so big and well known?
I think notoriety comes with the job, idk.
When did everyone one start mistaking not wanting to live under a right wing christo fascist regime as 'support for the United States govenrment?'
