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.

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.

Donald Trump has said it would be “an honor” take Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado’s Nobel Peace Prize if she offered it to him, as he prepares to meet the exiled politician next week.

Machado has been in hiding due to persistent threats on her life, emerging only briefly in Oslo after a three-day mission in which she was smuggled out of the country with the help of the U.S. military for the Nobel ceremony.

Trump is so pathetic, why is MAGA attracted to him?

Believe it or not, they're more pathetic

[–] cmhe@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Yes he is pathetic and he is a bully.

And too many people think bullies that just take what they want are 'strong'.

That's not how prizes work though...

This is some Michael Scott move

Well, good thing it doesn't matter who or what possesses the prizes. Otherwise, I guess some museum somewhere has Nobels too. (And the British Museum owns Egypt, on account of them having some pharaoh's jewels or something.)

How does this timeline just keep on getting stupider and stupider like this?
