A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

“Thanks to her media persona, Yulia helped to draw attention to the problems of seriously injured people. She organized a donation campaign. Unfortunately, state programs cannot provide good prosthetics,” Ivantsiv told POLITICO. “As for the content she produces, I don’t care. It’s a media product, you can choose whether to consume it. Yulia is Ukrainian and a patriot of her country.”
Based veteran. It’s amazing how easy it is to mind your business
Imagine hating porn stars more than hating Ukrainian amputees not having access to prosthetics
Moral panic is a hell of a brain worm.
Almost like culture is based on a book full of God trauma gaslighting like a mf...
Imagine that pornstars are actually defending state welfare while old crook politicians steal your taxes and stash them in foreign accounts.
But it makes Baby Jesus cry if you do the deed without an old man in a dress having mumbled some magic words!
Minding your business is one thing, the other is porn being illegal in Ukraine. But let this be the first step towards rectifying that in the next era.
Is it illegal, or only illegal to make?
Wikipedia says:
"The possession, distribution, sale and manufacture of pornographic materials are illegal, with laws strictly enforced. Possession of pornographic material can carry a fine or up to three years imprisonment."
That's rather silly indeed, in the words of the late comedic genius Graham Chapman.
Probably one of those old Russian time laws that eventually get removed when they find the time to get to it.
Senyuk was attacked on social media by conservatives for the “immorality of her profession” and “trying to PR on soldiers” as well as the “objectification of a woman’s role” at war; it’s illegal to make pornography in Ukraine, which is why Senyuk works abroad.
Of course conservatives have their panties in a bunch over a fucking fundraiser. Also TIL making porn is illegal in Ukraine
There are a lot of things illegal in Ukraine that are weird. One is dual citizenship; I guess it was specifically targetting Russia, to make it so you can't be a Ukrainian citizen if you're a Russian citizen, which makes sense. But it's been making matters complicated for Ukraine (especially recently with all the Ukrainian refugees in Europe who may have children with EU citizens or gain EU citizenship)
I have an Italian friend who has Ukrainian citizenship from their mother, right now they (and their mother) technically hold citizenship illegally according to Ukrainian law. They had been spending a lot of time trying to sort that stuff out with the Ukrainian embassy until the latest invasion started (the embassies became a bit occupied with more urgent matters)

Ukraine is, unfortunately, hardly a special case in that regard.
Looking at the most "powerful" passports around the world, you'll see that most of them tend to follow the same restriction, although some more exceptions, whether perfectly legal or just people being more laid-back.
I have no idea since when the same restriction is in place for the Ukrainian passport, but it would make sense to me if they imposed it after deciding to join the EU. Maybe without it, there would be a greater number of people potentially reaping the benefits of holding a member passport without having to contribute much?
I'm just grasping straws here, really.
Exactly why "conservatives" are dumb as rocks.
Talk about taking one for the nation.
Again. And again. And again. And ...
TRY NOT TO TAKE ANY FOR THE NATION ON YOUR WAY THROUGH THE PARKING LOT
Thanks, saved for later.
I’m doing my part, for the troops 🫡
You're a true hero!
What can I say 🤷♂️
I’m just a man, with a penis, changing the world one load at a time
Please give some context for my new favorite gif
He was a part of a group holding a large American flag at midfield, I think for a Giants game. He's holding it at his waist and it's flapping in the wind.
It's really old and i can't remember what he's doing. My guess is he's raising a flag where the pole has a crank to raise/lower flags the lip lick really sells this though.
NSFW, but the next obvious thing to do is...
Thanks, I will go out of my way to avoid this link once I get home.
She's apparently on Reddit too: https://old.reddit.com/user/Josephine_jackson/ Gotta give her some credit for going mostly without or just very light make-up too.
Fuck yeah anton

Honestly, good for her; that's fucking awesome.
She went from awesome fucking to fucking awesome. Quite the character arc!
I did not know she was Ukranian. Because of course I do not know who she is and am completely unaware of the context of any this.
Did reading this news article inform you of the context for this news article? Usually that's how it works for me.
The new, "I just look at it for the articles." What kind of articles could they possibly have on pornhub??? No, seriously, I'm in Texas. I can't access pornhub.
US Texas Governor Greg Abbott would like to block these videos from appearing in Texas unless a viewer sends over a copy of their state government documents. Texas Freedum!
We need to remember it's not just Texas doing this. All conservatives are trying to do it. We have the same block in Virginia, and I believe Florida and other places.
Also weed is practically illegal in VA because we elected Republicans despite Democrats legalizing it and Republicans saying they wouldn't block it. They were obviously lying, but no lessons were learned by those who needed to learn a lesson. Possession was luckily made legal under Democrats, but the requirements needed to sell it were blocked so there's no legal method to obtain it besides growing it yourself.
Based and yet another proof against chuds who think less of sex workers.
I think she… raises some other things as well, if you catch my drift!
I… I'll show myself out.
nervously flips through notes
It umm ... It's nice she's giving them some helping hand, am I right?
sweats
Brings a whole new meaning to giving someone a hand job.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
KYIV — Yulia Senyuk is more famous under her stage name Josephine Jackson — where her porn appearances have garnered over 200 million views — and now she’s using that celebrity status to raise funds for Ukrainian soldiers who lost limbs in the war against Russia.
The 29-year-old resident of Lviv in western Ukraine became an ambassador for Tytanovi Rehab, a media initiative of a Kyiv clinic involved in the rehabilitation of more than 30 Ukrainian military amputees.
Kyiv intentionally does not disclose how many people need prosthetics, Oksana Zholnovych, the social policy minister, told Ukrainian media.
This year, more than 4.5 billion hryvnia (€111 million) have been allocated for rehabilitation aid, and there is no need to collect money for those who need prosthetics, said Olena Kulchytska, an adviser to Zholnovych.
So when in February Senyuk’s friend came up with the idea of using her notoriety to create a buzz for the prosthetic center in Kyiv, she agreed.
Anton Ivantsiv, who lost both hands and a leg in the battle for Bakhmut, took part in the photo shoot and defended the actress.
