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.

MODERATORS
Additional legislation prohibits promoting child-free lifestyles, with fines up to $50,000, framing such views as part of Western efforts to weaken Russia.
The world doesn't revolve around you little motherfucker
"Are the western efforts in the room with us right now?"
Gotta keep enough meat for the grinder I guess? Can't see any other rationale.
Russin orthodox church is Putins tool, but you sometimes need to skratch the other back.
I guess I didn't expect this move but it's the least surprising thing ever. Russia is about as forward thinking as Texas.
The children they stole from Ukraine in one of their many war crimes?
Here goes my plan of mass adopting Russian children and making sure they know I love everyone, no matter how they identify themselves.
Strange, the overlap between the political obsessions of Russia, and those of Conservatives in the United States. It's almost as if one controls the information consumed by the other....
And also the UK and Australia specifically in reverse order chronologically. Who could possibly be responsible for such a network?
These measures align with Putin’s push for “traditional values” amid population decline
Hear me out Putin, but what if you didn't toss everyone who can fog a mirror into your meat grinder of a war? No? Wait why do you want me to stand near the window?
It’s so they have more people to put into the meat grinder.
Ukraine isn’t the end game for Russia.
Ukraine isn’t the end game for Russia
Not intentionally.
What a pointlessly cruel thing to do to children.
Have to keep them home to repopulate the meat grinder.
It's a non-issue being used to further sow division in neighbor countries. Don't take the bait
No it's a cover for the real agenda of banning anyone suggesting it's okay for women to not be breeding stock for future cannon-fodder for Putin to use for his absurd imperial obsessions
It’s only a non-issue because they already have other bans in place (at least on Americans). It will probably decrease Russian adoptions though
I’d also argue that a ban on speech is an issue
They’re probably bugged anyway
Secret KGB spies that transfered their conciousness to the orphans.
That would make an awesome movie.
Nah, this assumes that the orphan's original conciousness are overwritten (meaning dead), not exactly family friendly.
Well... There is a tv show with something like this.
Travelers
People from an apocolystic future invented time travel but only able to send back conciousness, not entire humans. So they send time travelers back to overwrite someone's conciousness moments before they die in historical records, and assume control of their body. They came back in time in order to try and prevent the apocolypse. It only got 3 seasons before getting cancelled but the ending is a fine 7/10 ending, could've been better if they didn't cancel it. But overall I rate the entire series 8.5/10.
12 monkeys
Yea thats another time travel show.
Honestly, Season 1 and 2 of 12 Monkeys is a bit boring when I think about it, it was great at the time, but when I think about it, I liked Travelers better.
Overall I rate 12 Monkeys 7/10 with Season 1 and 2 being 5/10
I mean the movie
The movie is terrible. I mean in comparison to the series its terrible. If you haven't watched the series you should, its so much different, so much better.
Well, I think KGB babies sounds more fun anyway.
