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.

A 5 minute meeting with JD Vance and he was gone.
Taken right after the handshake
Definitely the 'least bad' pope of my lifetime. Let's hope the next one continues the progressive stance he adopted on many aspects of life.
None of it was real, it was all PR talk. Go to South America as an openly gay person into a church ABS see how progressive they really are.
Change takes time and they've been anti-gay for a very, very long time. No sane person thinks a single pope solved all the centuries of repression in 10 years.
What I do know is that the conservative Catholics I personally know thought Pope Francis was "too liberal" and "just saying woke things because that's what young people like nowadays" and those are both endorsements to my ears.
Especially his attitude on climate change and income inequality and tax avoidance by the wealthy - there is a lot of that in conservative church groups and if their God's PR representative is telling them to cut that shit out and look after the environment better then great.
lol it’s funny if you use the change takes time in politics, people flip out. The democrats got crucified for not changing enough, but the church gets infinite chances and endless forgiveness for their crimes
What are the chances that the Cardinals protest vote two elections in a row and they accidentally elect a decent man again? Can you imagine back to back decent Popes? Not sure if it's happened in my lifetime.
Most of the current Cardinals who are eligible to vote were chosen by Pope Francis, so I think it is likely that the next Pope will be one willing to continue the path taken by Francis. But I don't want to be too optimistic.
Not a chance in hell
I hope he had the chance to tell JD Vance exactly how much of a fuckwit he is before passing.
Well he definitely did have the chance. Let's hope he used it!
He did snub Vance, so it's at least implied.
I'm gonna miss him. One of the best popes of our generation.
Low bar but he did blow it away.
Bar so low we're limbo-dancing in Hell
That's like saying I just had one of my best shits since my IBS diagnosis.
That title, it has one too many, commas.
It’s a Walken comma:

LOL, nice.
"I got a fever, and the only prescription, is more cowbell!"
Makes sense -- punctuation is ultimately about signalling pauses and inflection in speech; you can get rather creative if, and only if! so desired.
Sad that a piece of shit like j.d. vance was with him before.
Didn't he send another cardinal to lecture Vance?
I don't know, but of course it could be. I had only heard that vance had visited him, which was just as shitty an action as the unwanted visit to Greenland.
It does have a similar vibe to when Liz Truzz killed the Queen
Let's hope he lasts as long as Truss did after that too.
I imagine if you're already on your deathbed and you have to listen to some shitty little windbag, it could remove your motivation to hang on.
I liked that guy.
why the weird commas
I wonder if they still tap the dead pope three times with a silver hammer to check if they're really dead?
I offered to do it, they weren't willing to supply ponchos for the audience though so plans fell through.
Gonna be some nice crazy shit about the Prophecy of the Popes flying around, this will be interesting to observe.

*aaaaaaaaaand, there it is:
New pope gets elected, and then the believers will say it was misinterpreted the whole time. This is the standard way.
