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.

The US is not safe to travel to and you do not have a legitimate reason to travel there now. Keep this in your mind regardless of what reason you think contradicts this. It is not safe.
As an American, seconded.
I'm trapped here, don't YOU risk being kidnapped and trapped here or sent somewhere worse just because you wanted to see the Grand Canyon.
I am honestly wondering how long it will be before you are eligible for refugee claims in the world with the state of affairs in your country. You aren't trapped though! Come to Canada! We have a bunch of issues now, but it will be a breathe of fresh air compared to the issues you face.
You aren't trapped though! Come to Canada!
And this is how we achieved a population greater than what our housing can support. Unless you’re ready to fork over 1200-2k a month for a 1 bedroom & 1 bathroom then I would advise against this.
You should take a peak on what people in the US have to deal with before you go shitting on Canada.
That also isn't how we got into a housing crisis. That was because the Government stopped building houses, and turned real estate into the monster of an investment vehicle it is today.
People are already forking over that kind of money in the US, and have been for years.
ooo, ten years ago prices
Some people only learn by pain, apparently.
I mean, that would have been an accurate description of me at age 21
you do not have a legitimate reason to travel there now.
My parents live here 💀
I live here 💀💀
Damn. So sorry.
The key word is "travel" thus excluding you and your family from the warning. Now go fix your shit instead of crying to someone who cannot.
But if I leave the country for any reason I have to come back. So then I have to travel into the country.
Also that's kind of an aggressive response for what I meant to be kind of a jokey comment?
But if I leave the country for any reason I have to come back.
You don't, and that has nothing to do with traveling to the US from another country, so that is why you get the "aggressive" response because I am tired of Americans chiming in with "Jokes" when their country is a fucking hell hole that is impacting everyone else.
Leave, fix your shit, or stop crying to people negatively impacted by your people without adding anything meaningful to the conversation.

Go through my post history. I'm literally an anarchist. I literally hate America and I literally want to abolish it. I am perfectly aware of how disgusting American influence is on the world—that's why I'm making jokes about it. Joking about it is how some people cope with the crushing reality of capitalism. And honestly I thought these two comments were kinda tame.
I have a friend who's going there this weekend. Landing in Orlando, and will be driving to LA. I told him to be very careful!
Orlando to LA? Are they crazy or dumb?
Flying in from outside the US during this time to then attempt to drive all the way across the South
Both. It's both. I hope they stay safe. There are like 4 different major threats to a foreigner on that route.
Yes.
Well I for one find this claim entirely credible (unfortunately).
Also, more JD Vance memes! Yay Streisand effect!
JD Vance only eats the cat food part of lucky charms pass it on.
I heard he puts his cast iron skillet in the dishwasher.
I heard he took the lightbulb out of his fridge because he doesn't believe it turns off when he closes the door.
"Quick! He might be hiding more memes in his ass!" Like what?
What kind of dumb fuck still goes to the US for tourism?
For many a trip to the US from Europe is a major event. I'd imagine that many people planned their trips last year before Trump was even reelected and had already invested a lot of money, at which point sunk fallacy plays a role.
I also think that for many it still hasn't registered that they are now also at risk and it's not just the classic family guy meme anymore, where it's based on skin colour.
So are they also going to detain and strip search the owners of any website hosting similar images? Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg.
No, billionaires are above the law.
Plot twist, the guy is a memer and did that on purpose to make his meme go viral. That can only be the reason
According to my very scientific study for the past 20 years, half of the adults with a driving license don't know how to drive a car and would kill someone to get 5 minutes earlier to their jobs. Half the adults in this world is a fucking moron (a few billion people), that's my explanation.
If I just delete all social media apps from my phone and pretend I don't have any social media accounts would these facist dumb fucks even know or would that seem suspicious?, I could just buy an extra phone but that seems a bit unnecessary
