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.

Like, how the fuck can you enforce that?
US Auditor: you have a DEI program?
CEO: non
US: what’s with all the woman, gays, and blacks?
CEO: they are jee most qualeefied
US: well…. Get more rich white men in here or we won’t be doing business.
CEO: zat sounds like affirmative action.
US: what?
Please forgive me trying to phonetically type a French accent, but again, this is some seriously dumb shit.
Nah bud, accent is chef's kiss
Welp, there go all our business deals with France.
Most likely another "look over here" move.
It seems indeed, especially since they contacted companies with no presence in USA, and did not for other that have business there. Either random mediatic noise, either pure incompetence, either both.
Not everything is a distraction and your country needs to stop dismissing everything as one
Honestly not sure what you could mean or imply here..
Not really directed at you specifically, it’s just that it seems like the top response to Trump doing anything is that it’s just a distraction. I can’t really put my finger on exactly what it is about it that bugs me, but I think it just comes across as dismissive
Edit: I think it bothers me the most when it’s something in relation to a country other than the USA. Like fine, write off the stuff that only affects the US, but to hear things just shrugged off as “it’s only a distraction” from a citizen of the country where said things are really screwing us over is just irritating.
It’s like if someone just threw a handful of shit at you and someone else says “oh yeah that’s just a distraction 🤷”
Watch my left hand while I fuck you with my right fist
Lol. The French will not suffer American idiots like Trump and his lackeys.
France does NOT fuck around when it comes to staunchly holding their own employment laws under internationally owned companies. If you want to fire someone, for example, you have to follow the French criteria, and it’s a complex and drawn out process that makes American MBAs melt like they’ve opened the Ark of the Covenant.
I hope you are right. This timeline usually shows the companies caving, keeping a bit of a difference from directive, selling it as a we won't change to their people and actually giving ground to the bullies so they can claim they won as well on conservative media. The polarization of the population makes it so their media won't overlap enough to cause real conflict, just enough to say the other "side" of the conflict is nuts ignore them.
Where are people organizing? I’m older now and not as plugged in as I used to be.
They aren't really. At least not in any great numbers.
And that's part of the problem.
Grow a fucking pair French Finance Minister Eric Lombard.
"Little Hands can go fuck himself if he doesn't like it."
When are these people going to fucking attack his narcissism?!
