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.

What secrets is North Korea going to have that would be of used to russia? It would be like conducting industrial espionage against the vape store.
conducting industrial espionage against the vape store
That's something we should've been doing all along! Now there's a mist opportunity...
Maybe but he already has better European luxury cars, can’t imagine him driving a Russian car as his daily or like ever.
Would be kind of funny though seeing him stuffing his butt into a Lada.
To be fair, the Aurus is effectively a European luxury car. Made in Russia, but all of the tech was developed by German firms (Porsche and Bosch - I suspect the Russian portion of the engineering was nominal at best) and it is modern in terms of specs and equipment, if ridiculously overpriced for what it is.
Best way to deal with that is to use the car for trivial things. Have a family member with no state secrets use it to pick up coffee etc.
I wonder what the equivalent is among the North Korean elite. Cognacs, dolphin meat, and a new accordion?
And a 3 m satellite antenna to transmit data back to Russia?
The entire roof is a fractal antenna. Hooks up to star link. The best Russian tech!
Oooo…Trump’s gonna be pissed; he’ll never beat that with a pair of shoes.
I'm convinced that Kim's haircut is purposefully so bad as a demonstration of power. He wants to show that he can look like "fuck my shit up" material and still get compliments. He goes out hoping someone would say something bad about his hair. "Say something. Say something!...Yeah, that's what I thought."
Iirc he’s trying to portray his grandpa since his grandpa was more liked than his dad was. Like he started dressing like grandpappy and started doing public speeches which is something his dad never did.
If Kim is smart he'll have it crushed.
Nah, who cares about bugs if you’re just going stick it in the museum of loot anyway.
The car…
My first though reading the headline was "is it a Lada?".
It's a Fiat
Butterball’s ass must have been so creamy.
Like two great Honeybaked hams basted in butter.
Leon, that you?
It kind of looks like a stretched Chrysler 300.
