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.

Ye no, thats not how it works. You have been too caged about how towards the rest of the country is, which is what antwerp just is. You have no idea what poor is and what the cost of living is for average paycheck IF you want to buy something like a house or car. I assume mommy and daddy helped you buy a car? Or always got a company car?
Got a house that mommy and daddy helped pay for so you could actually pay for the loan and have the capital to start the loan?
Oh, hey, and maybe youve always lived with a partner too, which also makes it very much doable since 3/4th the income is good to save to do whatever with.
I don't have a car. Never needed it, i've had 4 different jobs already.

It's the same as having a house, but far more liquid.
Be an attractive human being and find a partner, we have an aging population. Go breed. Seriously, I am disgusted by people that can't form long lasting relationships.
Getting a house... Better done with bank's money, not your own money. Even when you can buy it outright, still better to get the bank to fund most of it.
Have fun living in the same spot for decades then
... You know much it costs to get a house right? You do realise that for a decent house in my neighbourhood i had to pay 160k outright and bank would pay the other half. I do not have 160k just lying around you know. And with current average income that would still take 4 years of working if you didnt spend a dime of your income.
I repeat, you are disconnected from reality
Then don't buy a house, invest in the stock market. It has the same return on investment.
It's a lot more available, you don't pay interest to the bank. You have more job opportunities.
I'm not interested in buying a house. It just locks me down.
I'm not like my dad who worked the same job for 40 years. Times change
Job hopping every few years increases your income
