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.

years ago, i came across the phrase "resting bitch face" online somewhere. i don't know in what context i read it or where, but i do remember being utterly confused by the concept. like, what even is that phrase supposed to mean?!
and that consternation had only deepened and strengthened right up to the recent past when photos of jd vance began to surface. now it's 100% clear what the author of that long-forgotten post must have meant when they typed out those three little words.
That is not really what that phrase means though. That phrase refers to people whose neutral facial expression makes them look like someone unfriendly when the person behind it is not. In Vance's case this is not true, his inside is just as ugly as his outside.
No, the phrase doesn't have anything to do with being misleading or not. It just means they look like a shitty, bitchy person on the outside. It may or may not be accurate. It definitely sometimes is not.
The rest of the world should take this approach. If everyone just plain ignored and ghosts the US’s emissaries it would be pretty funny.
Not just their emissaries. Ghost everyone up to FatBoy Tangerine, and beyond.
If there is ever another voted in president and this new 'leader' is a decent person, not just a tRUMP puppet. Then ghost them as well for allowing that orange turd to walk free after all the treasonous shit he pulled in his first term.
This infringes on my trademark character "Ghost Pope". Image

Doesn't load for me.
Sycophant narcissist 'JD' (born James Donald, changed to James David) decries woke pronouns.
No film at 11.
James Donald Bowman is a miserable twat.
And I will deadname him in every thread that I come across.
They look angelic compared to democratically elected americans /shrug
Well, they show a lot of compassion and support for all those accused priests.
Is "ghosts" really the most sensitive word for someone who's been on deaths door for a while now?
Edit - er. Well. Just seen today's news.
“Ghouls” maybe? That would be a better word for the pope
Not sure if this was a joke, but I sure laughed with it
In February, without naming names, the Pope directly refuted a Catholic concept Vance had twisted to justify deportations. Vance had cited ordo amoris—the “order of love”—to argue that Americans should come first.
Francis responded: “Christian love is not a concentric expansion of interests that little by little extend to other persons and groups.”
Vance, acknowledging the rebuke, called himself a “baby Catholic” and admitted, “there are things about the faith that I don’t know.”
Dude, I'm not Catholic at all and I could have told you that. It's not really complicated to see that Catholic interpretation Jesus would whip you out of the temple.
His boss being a rapist felon that never faces consequences let alone justice. And we're all supposed to turn a blind eye in their world.
Guess he never said thank you.
