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.

Clarence Thomas: "Invoking the heavenly powers to win an election violates freedom of religion according to the first amendment and therefore renders Kamala Harris ineligible to run for president."
Fuck this traitorous wanker btw.
Flawless legal reasoning there.
Thank you, Indian priests. Please continue to provide Kamala with your heavenly powers until election day, and then the four years after. Also please make her a progressive.
Oh, so it’s bad for Russian trolls and hackers to interfere in elections but it’s okay for Indian priests?

I have this image in my head of Hindu priests chanting in front of an idol of Ganesha and really, really good memes just popping up out of nowhere on social media.
Thanks for the /s. This is funnier than my just woke up and needing caffeine brain was prepared to deal with on it’s own.
Not enough mana.
More pylons have to be built.
Where's the potion vendor?
I’d rather wish she becomes a leftist.
Society is not ready to hear what a leftist President would feel an immense duty to teach. Most of them still think that if they share ideology then they must make the same choices. They lack the individual wisdom necessary for nuance.
Nice wish. But, bad timing. Hopefully soon.
Sure, why not? Couldn't hurt.
Good luck with that, Indian Priests. God personally stepped in to save Trump from being shot (not the hero firefighter, who didn't meet the minimum income requirement of the Truly Blessed). He just took the tip of his ear, which is practically circumcision.
I heard she’s 20ft tall.
I heard she's got a brain for a heart.
Don't get fooled by these priests. They had also prayed for Trump's re-election.
