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.

She should be fired
Immediately. Judges should be impartial.
They should also not be suffering from extreme mental illness, like she is.
The fact that this person is an ICJ judge shows you that we are living in a clown world. Our entire civilization has no clothes. We are talking chimps conducting a reckless, unplanned terraform of spaceship Earth. Our intelligence is no match for our hubris. If you haven't figured it out yet, we are approaching our great filter and the perpetrator is ourselves.
As she said, we are approaching the "end times", except what comes after is the eternal nothingness of the void; the only remanence being another dead rock hurtling through space.
Oh i'm pretty sure life on Earth won't go extinct. The dinosaurs weren't the last living beings either.
In fact if humans go extinct, they'll probably be replaced by another hyper-intelligent species in less than 100 million years, i guess. Which is 2% of earth's age.
Also, probably not even humanity will go extinct due to climate change. The real crisis is the late-stage capitalism which is like a cancer that eats away all the resources so the healthy tissue (humans) can't live anymore. Tax reforms are the number one priority. Tax the rich.
The argument has been made that, even if another intelligence arises in 100 million years, there are multiple problems for them: the Sun will be burning hotter by then, easily accessible raw material will all have been used up (Cyprus is no longer covered in surface-level raw copper, for example), we'll probably irradiate the surface on our way out, etc.
doesn't that just mean that these end up in landfills, i.e. close to the surface?
In landfill, but not as raw material. If you didn't already know how to make bronze, for example, you'd have a hell of a time making new bronze based on old contaminated remnants.
That might mean they figure out their societal problems before they try to industrialize
And not insane.
Out of a cannon. Into the sun.
Out of judge canon, thereby causing irreparable rupture of both parties' organs.
We don't do that anymore: electric chair, injection or a bullet.
Executing someone for being delusional or heavily propagandized strikes me as morally dubious, removing a politician from power achieves a similar effect without having to embrace capital punishment.
I just offered more modern methods instead of burning at stake.
Okay that made me chuckle. I was like who said burn her at the stake?... Oh
