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.

There is no logic, only destruction.
I’m really not a big fan of the teenage phase some go through where they think it’s fun to be edgy and crap on other people’s hobbies and interests.
It can be frustrating to see, but they have a tonne going on biologically. I’ve had a bunch of friends, nieces & nephews that have all been horrible when teenagers, then grow up to be fantastic, kind people.
That's because they learned where being an asshole gets them.
Some don’t. And, the people around them suffer. If this kid gets a slap on the hand, it sends a message: “you can do whatever you want with no consequences.”
This kid will not be getting a mere slap, no matter what police do. This kid will be shunned almost completely from the local community.
As he should.
He can move and never hear about it again.
His idiocy made national news. Where's he going to go to avoid it? Gibraltar?
The kid is stuck on that island where everyone knows his name for the wrong reasons. It's not like the rest of Europe where freedom of travel is a thing. Not to mention a Brit isn't going to last long in a state European school.
Haha brexit. Whoopsie 🤪
That and a lack of language tuition. European countries overwhelmingly do their schooling in their native languages, something English schools aren't good at teaching.
you consider having to move as "no consequences"?
I’ve moved many times. It’s not a big deal. If I commit a crime and “moving” is my punishment, I’m gonna murder a lot of billionaires.
im putting 10 bucks on that not actually being the universal experience, especially to a different town
yall have severe mental issues, and likely worse than whatever this kids got
Me: don’t be a shitty person.
You: you crazy, let them do whatever they want
Your amateur medical diagnosis holds no weight.
i actually didnt say we should let them do whatever they want
what im actually saying is that calling for dismembering children is dangerously unhinged, and that you are a freak
If crimes had consequences, less people would commit crimes.
it seems like you missed this part of my comment:
easy mistake to make, its only the first half of said comment
might want to bring that up with the psychiatrist while youre there for the whole 'i want to dismember children' thing
I enjoy how much effort you’re putting into insulting me. I think it’s doing the opposite of what you want it to do. I’m cracking up.
So then, what do you think his punishment should be? Since this thread leads back to me saying moving isn’t a big deal, and you got triggered, you must think the punishment should be lower. Enlighten me.
i didnt figure appealing to basic decency would do what i want it to do
and suddenly everything makes sense
Lols
As an 18 year old it was a blessing when I could finally move out. And I wanted it for years at that point.
im putting 10 bucks on that not actually being the universal experience, especially to a different town
Sadly, some people never learn. I know a 53 year old man who never made it past 15, emotionally. He thinks cruelty is funny, and constantly tries to provoke everyone around him for attention. It's extremely annoying.
