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.

Canada should play the longer game and agree to join the US if:
"ok"
next day: "nope"
This shows a deep deep ignorance of the history of Canada. Why don’t you take your chatGPT generated answer and go Amerisplain somewhere else - like US-owned reddit or some shit.
it’s a stalling tactic… they’ll never agree to any of that but trump, being as downright arrogant as he is, assumes that it’s a starting position for a deal (“who wouldn’t want to join the USA?!?!”)… he’s a strongman, so he will try and get what he wants no matter what - the goal is to put him off from taking it by force for as long as possible or indefinitely
same thing with taiwan and china - you don’t say no; you just leave it ambiguous to placate the bully so they don’t feel like they “need” to respond to avoid “looking weak”
that said, i ain’t canadian or american… im absolutely on canadas side 100%, buying canadian products wherever i can, stopping consuming US products and services… perhaps placating is distasteful, or against the way yall feel your country should apply its values… whatever your country’s way of dealing with it, i really truly hope it works and leaves trump unable to hurt everyday canadians 🇦🇺🧡🇨🇦
It's saying no by saying yes. The hostile No is what Trump wants, a yes that could never be accepted doesn't give him what he wants.
And lose access to healthcare, get tsunami'd by guns, be forced to capitalize on everything for the shareholders, and become part of the current laughing stock of the world?
I doubt any Canadian would want that.
Canada joining the US individually would radically change us politics though. It would make Democrats or further left a strong majority. The point is Canada making this offer makes Trump is the one that has to turn it down or lose everything, Canada would fundamentally change the us as 10 more states.
ryathal should play the longer game and go fuck themself
"We've established that you're a whore, now we're simply dickering over the price."
Nope.
