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.
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
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.

my last bag I bought was a leather bag, hand stitched by a real leather worker. I will never need to buy a new one as long as I care for it properly.
Time to hit the vintage shop. Find the Emo outfit from the early 2000s that was designed not to discintigrate after it left the shelf.
A very sad topic but the website kept a really high quality!
In other news, water is wet.
Private equity: After paying millons for a company, got to find shortcuts to proffit... And make stakeholders happier.
I guess from now on, American company is not a sign of quality.
Hmmmm. Less departments? Heads of departments not qualified or educated for that area by any stretch of the imagination? Safety guidelines reduced to mere suggestions or deleted completely? Entire Global Pandemic Response system, in place mind you, burned to the ground. Cancer research a pipe dream. Gas over $4. Diesel fast heading to $7. You know where I'm going. Regulations that protected us and soaring prices that force and allow big business to charge more and put less into their products got us here - I think. Just sayin'.
"Government overreach! Bureaucracy! Big government is inefficient! Nanny state! Self-reliance! Freedom rah rah!"
Watch out for those talking points. They sound great. Like common sense. Based.
But really they are all about combating regulations that protect us from the excesses of greed which are tearing this world apart.
