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.

Its right there in the post.
It doesn't really explain how he got it.... Thailand is so strict and guns are very rare there... I just was surprised and curious at how he got to the point of getting a mod gun and getting it to do what he wanted... it's just a tragic story all around
It is a tragic story, but given your post history includes things like:
... it's hard to accept that you're asking in good faith and not just trying to push the idea that gun control doesn't prevent mass shootings, especially when the information is right there and we're unlikely to know any more than you do.
So I can't have complaints against the second amendment and have good faith arguments about a gun in Thailand?? This was Thailand .. not the USA.. but that might be a fact too hard for you to separate...
Lmao. I agree with the comment below. Go touch some Grass...
you clearly don't know how to have a nuance view on life that has several complex issues that are not one dimensional... but again that is a take you don't seem to understand...
having to comb through users post history (and mine wasn't a post, but a comment.. again nuance) without having a conversation in the text, seems to be a difficult task for you and it looks like you're just looking to be combative.
This was a tragedy and yes I have many complaints about the abuse of the second amendment... but again it's a take that the normal person understands has complex layers to..
So good day asshole. Enjoy your indignant attitude, however arbitrary it is... no point in having a 'good Faith's conversation with you..
Okay, so you wanted spoon feeding instead.
Yikes.
You might need to take a break from the internet, for your health.
Of the 19 comments you've made in the last 24 hours, only one of them has a positive score.
But hey, it's not my glass house, throw all the stones you want.
Yeah. I rest my case.
You care too much about internet points, lol.
Yikes. Like I said, maybe you're spending too much time on the internet.
But I guess you disagree, lol. Have a nice day.
For all your bluster, you still cant resist leaving that one downvote can you?
Can you specify exactly what you're referring to so we're on the same page?
