A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Ozawa has reportedly admitted that the charge is true. He told the officials that roads belong to humans and pigeons are the ones who should get out of the way.
Statements like this makes me wonder if hurting animals is so obviously evil or I'm just a hippie.
Nah, the people who'd call you a hippie for that probably have some issues they should sort out.
In a bit of irony, the stool pigeon that informed police was, in fact, Ozawa himself. Police did not expect him to sing like a canary as he confessed to the charges. Ozawa stated the pigeons were sitting ducks as he accelerated towards them. He considers pigeons ugly ducklings and his life's goal is to make as many of them dead as a dodo. Police are keeping a close eye on Ozawa as they found him naked as a jaybird when they arrested him. There are concerns he may try to fly the coop and send police on a wild goose chase.
You're having a bit of a lark, aren't you?
We had a deal!!!

driving into a flock of pigeons and killing one
headline kinda buried the lede there
He'd get a medal here. We have offical signs with “pigeons are flying rats” here.
In my region some driving instructors actually give students 5€ for each killed pigeon.
He'll get off. That pigeon was asking for it.
Smh, not wearing reflective clothing or a helmet. Surprised it wasn’t ran over sooner.
This is one of the reasons why IPoAC didn't take off.
The spec should be able to handle a little packet loss.
FUCKYOU PIGEON!!
Good.
Oh no. It’s happening again.
