- 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.

More details here.
Who hires a makeup artist to travel with them on a trip? That's weird
Apparently Vietnamese cyanide poisoning is something of a trend lately....
6 dead, the poisoner and 5 targets.
Unless 6 targets and a 7th at large? Dun dun dun!
This is going to make one hell of a made for TV movie.
The lesson here is if you're in a financial dispute with somebody don't eat or drink any of their food?
I am confused about one thing, this was a murder suicide, the suspect also poisoned themselves. At that point this is just revenge?
But revenge for what? Maybe they blamed their victims for taking them to court to try to recover the money? Or they thought they're only option was suicide, because of the court case, so they wanted revenge. It's really twisted.
This is a Thai hotel, and they do like ghost stories, I could see a comedy movie coming out where the dead Vietnamese investors become a slapstick chorus of Ghost investment advisors for young and upstart hotelier from Korea who falls in love with a woman who hasn't decided if she's going to stay in the country and follow her dreams, or go overseas and pursue a career.
The chorus will make a big deal about never accepting drinks from anybody, and whenever she takes a sip of a drink in public or with her almost boyfriend they groan and yell. A running gag

I think normally it's still safe. Most people find other ways to deal with disputes.
Plus, I don't know about Vietnam, but in a lot of Asian countries, you offer people tea if they come to you for anything. Maybe that generally doesn't apply to a hotel though, just homes?
And as a culturally ignorant rube, might it be wrong to decline tea in these places?
Not sure. I know that the tradition in Tibetan culture is to always keep a cup of tea full for the guest, but the guest is only expected to drink as much as they like. The cup must always be made full again after the guest drinks from it.
I know Tibetan culture best because I grew up in a town where a lot of Tibetans settled and I got to know some and I was really confused the first time I was over why they kept refilling my cup. I was so damn full of tea that I begged them to stop giving me more and then they explained to me that I was just supposed to leave the cup full when I had enough to drink. They thought it was pretty amusing.
I want to see this movie
Next time answer when you're asked why a raven is like a writing desk, motherfucker.
