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.
-
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.

Meanwhile the politicians telling you to ride your bike are zooming around in private jets and approving legislative loopholes for the biggest polluters.
That's why you shouldn't do it for them; you should do it because it's superior lifestyle choice for you.

Wait, no, this: https://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2012/05/07/what-do-you-mean-you-dont-have-a-bike/
There's a massive chance I would die if I rode a bicycle to work. I've only seen one guy in my area riding a bicycle, and he usually has a LONG line of cars behind him but he isn't on the roads that I have to commute. The only bicycles I see on those roads are painted white as memorials to the people who have died trying to ride them.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Sometimes you've gotta make changes if you want your life to improve. If you can't safely commute by bike from your house to your job, then either your house is wrong or your job is.
Based and "take-the-lane"-pilled.
The irony is, the drivers bring the delay upon themselves by opposing building bike lanes, which are really car infrastructure, not bike infrastructure. Their purpose is to get cyclists out of the way, because the situation you describe is the alternative!
I bought right before the bubble burst in 2006. I'd love to move. We were behind on value for so many years. Also wages haven't kept up with inflation. And now we added two kids. When I can move, I will.
Hi buddy, can we back the fuck off of the anti-cager propaganda?
This is America, most of us don't live within biking distance of work.
No. The propaganda will continue until zoning improves.
And bikers wonder why people hate them...
People who make zoning laws don't read memes on lemmy.
