A community for discussing events around the World
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!
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.

Wheres all his defenders now? I thought tate was absolutely innocent and would not be charged blahnlahblah
Screaming the n-word into the voice chat of their Call of Duty lobbies, while eating pizza rolls, and watching Adin Ross on Kick.
I take offense to you trying to vilify pizza rolls like that.
Especially when it was regular, flat pizza that did him in the first time.
Fucking lol'd
I'm sorry m8. I like pizza rolls from time to time too. I share in your pain and shame. We must revitalize their image!
Have you ever watched monster factory?
https://yewtu.be/watch?v=orrcgpJ5tQ4
You mean the gateway drug that sucked me into their media empire?
lol monster factory I think is their finest work…although ep. 50 through roughly 400 are peak podcasting. When I was first listening to mbmbam I was on the subway and in airports crying with laughter. The newer ones I’ve put on haven’t really grabbed me that way. Back in like 2016, I could NOT stop listening.
It’s like the early to mid mbmbam, early to mid Harmontown, and the first two seasons of My dad wrote a porno. The most amazing podcasts ever invented.
Who dat? Wait, never mind; I don't want to know...
Oh man I’ll never forget the plane trip I took where I was sitting next to a young couple and the girl was showing the guy Andrew Tate videos and telling him to be more like Tate. “You know how you’re always complaining like a bitch? Well watch this…” and then she played a video of Andrew Tate talking about how real men are stoic because no one wants to hear about their damn feelings. I was really hurting for this guy but he calmly told her she was an idiot and said Andrew Tate could fuck off.
Good on him!
You mean the prepubescent little internet shits that love him?
Oh, I thought we were talking about my ex husband
Happy for your loss!
Haven't seen many tate defenders on the fediverse. Am I misunderstanding you?
Edit: lemmy -> fediverse
Oh they think they're cleared and this isn't happening. Not joking. People at my work say this shit
Get fucked, scumbag.
They went to Romania because of it's excellent legal system right? No wait, they went there because they thought it was a highly corrupt system in which they could pay their way out of their crimes.
...and now they're going to get prosecuted because they're a highly visible case.
Definitely wise to pick an EU member state to escape the law. This guy has probably never heard of extradition.
EU countries are good place to escape if you're expecting a death sentence or "inhuman" jail conditions (ie. torture, rat cell, etc). Otherwise it's useless
It's only highly visible because he bragged about paying cops hush money. What Tate failed to realize is that hush money applies to both parties. The party accepting the bribe, and the party offering the bribe.
Not just that, but he also publicly bragged about how *lax* Romania's laws and how *they don't care about rape* during an administration that is attempting, at least on the surface, to change public perception of themselves worldwide from the corrupt governments of the 90s and 2000s.
Scumbags
What bribes does he need to pay to get out of this one?
He doesn't have that amount of money. He publicly humiliated the government and law enforcement of Romania.
Yeah, never announce that you’re committing a crime and that a government won’t stop you unless they can’t stop you. Corruption is built on a foundation of plausible deniability. Take it away and they start risking their power and paydays
What's the punishment over there for rape and trafficking? Life? A rope?
They’re in the EU, they aren‘t some backwards country you imagine them to be
Then answer the question.
Don't you have google? I kinda wish the other user hadn't answered you.
Rape is 3-18 years trafficking is 3-15. Literally the top Google results.
Goo? Gul? What's that?!? /s
Sounds like a bad version of DuckDuckGo!
/Lying, unfortunately
Hope he suffers for all the negative influence he's had.
Dear Romania,
Let him rot.
Truly Yours,
Ghyste
Nice.
Oh no!
Anyway, how’s your weekend been going?
Good, good. The flight was a bit bumpy today, but by 11am I was having breakfast at my favorite little place down in front of the mosque. I love the quiet Sunday mornings here.
Not too bad we're attending a beach football tournament of companies. Our friends did not qualify so we'll be out early. But ! that means lunch at the beach, heheh.
Pretty good. There is a restaurant close to where I live that has got a lot of hype about, took the family there yesterday. It was worth it. Also one of my children has a recital.
Good. Fuck these scumbags. Maybe some of his shit for brains followers will snap out of it after this. One can only hope.
That isn’t how cults work. They generally visit the leaders in jail and fight to get them freed.
How followers can't stand up and walk for long periods of time.
Nope, fake news! The matrix faked all the evidence!!
Shitheads everywhere in shambles
Getting arrested for rape is gay. /s
So what's the difference between this and a conviction?
It's kinda like a grand jury where they decide if there's enough evidence to proceed with the trial, but without the jury. It's what a lot of places have moved to from the grand jury.
This is an indictment I think. It just indicates that the trial can proceed if my understanding is correct.
Thoughts and prayers
NNNNNNOOOOOOOO THIS IS LITERALLY THE MATRIX
he'll try some way to bribe them
But I thought Romania was the perfectly corrupt place for a genius alpha like Tate to operate his "business" without any hassel.
I was going to say, "We should go back to killing people," but then thought better of it. We should start killing shitty people.
"But who will decide who is shitty?"
"That's the fun! Anyone!"
"But then I won't know who I can be shitty around!"
"And then?"
"I would have to be a moderately less shitty person."
"Yeah ..."
"But what if someone starts killing random people without cause?"
"Sounds pretty shitty. Kill them."
"But what about the innocent people who are harmed?"
"Let's not pretend to start caring, now that your head is on the block."
"What if someone kills you?"
"I'll be dead. I won't have to deal with these shitty people anymore."
"Why not just kill yourself?"
"Because I believe that my life has meaning and that I am helping people."
"But what if someone thinks that the meaning you have selected is shitty?"
"Again, I will be dead."
"So how can we know what is and isn't shitty behavior?"
"It'll work itself out if we maintain the system with some degree of fidelity."
"This would just create a society where literally person would have to agree on what it means to be shitty."
"Yeah, that would be dope."
"This is horrifying and short sighted."
"Yeah. Pretty on-brand for people."
"Yep."
"Yep."
the socratic dialogues from a world where plato was strangled 99% of the way to death by his umbilical cord
LOL. Perfect. Thank you.
I disagree. How would killing help? It would only increase the grieving.
this feels very "if you kill a killer then the number of killers in the world stays the same". the thing is, it's the number of victims that matters.
Well, I'm not a big fan of violence in general. There has to be some more peaceful solution, or it's not a solution in my eyes at all.
what would you have done about world war II?
Well I'd argue that we are not in the same situation than WW II anymore.
