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.

it's a universal truth that anything other than that will just end up in the following situation:
you have to decide how good or bad each patient is before you treat them.
What if it's a terrorist, but they're not in a uniform? What if they're unconscious? Do you simply not treat anyone unconscious until you've given them a moral test? Should people who support a woman's right to choose get healthcare? Some would say no. Why say Hamas militants are bad when the armies of the USA, Britain, Germany, France have committed atrocities? Should doctors not treat anyone in the military? Current or past? What about people who've been in a fight? Smokers? Drinkers? The overweight?
In the end you have to go back to "just treat everyone".
It's not a pure universal axiomatic truth, but it's still a truth
Yeah, but doctors are people too and I don't think they have a moral obligation to treat people who kill and rape their family.
It's part of me not being autistic. I can see nuance in these situations and don't cling to easy absolutes.
how do you know that, if your sister was killed, and I trip and break my leg, I'm not your sisters killer? You'd have doctors who couldn't treat anyone until we could prove without doubt their patient wasn't a killer.
Imagine having a contagious disease that needs urgent treatment and the doctor sending you back home to inject the rest of the world because you were in a car crash where someone died
I think you are the one clinging to absolutes here.
Okay, buddy. I can see you will not listen to reason here, and that's okay. I've come across many people like you before.
I'm just gonna duck out and tell you to have a nice day.
I hope you do so.
"listen to reason"
the reason: "I am not autistic like you"
ok buddy have a good one
Lol, you apparently think everyone is worth arguing with which proves my point.
That's also an incredibly unlikely scenario that I would wager no human being has ever actually faced. We should build societal rules and norms around things that generally actually happen, not the most extreme or 'nuanced' versions of a scenario we can imagine.
By your logic we should have one hospital and a unique set of staff for each religion, one for felons, one for each race, etc. So that each doctor can work only on patients that they think deserve their help.
That's because I'm not advocating for your hyperbole, that doctors should judge whether each patient should be treated.
Not really. That's your own hyperbole.
I responded with hyperbole to your hyperbole about doctors being forced to treat patients that had raped and murdered their family. But anyway, you're clearly set on seeing it your way, and lacking in critical think skills, so have a good day in your own little world buddy.
What are you talking about? Present a valid argument and you may change my mind.
What? Your hyperbole was assuming doctors would be judging whether each patient should be treated. You made that comment before I commented about doctors treating patients who kill and rape their family.
Might want to brush up on your reading comprehension, lol.
Buddy you are so wrong lol, look at this screenshot and tell me what the comment at the very top says?
Oh look, it's you hyperbolizing about people being forced to operate on someone who raped and murdered their family.
Then, as a CHILD COMMENT to yours, I make my very first comment in this thread.
Then you tell me I'm using hyperbole and try to discredit me.
Absolutely incredible the arrogance you have for someone that can't even proof read your own arguments.
Damn, you go through all that effort and you're still wrong.
Must be some life you're leading.
Unfortunately you make less sense with every post. My life is going pretty well though thanks for caring, you're a very kindhearted person.
That's okay.
You don't need to convince us.
