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.

I’d meet her, so as I could ask her how she can stand by these awful policies …but I’m not a woman. Or from Greenland.
Why were they issued visas?
No visas are needed between Europe and USA. EU will very soon begin an ESTA-like scheme, but that's not in effect yet. And, since Greenland is not in EU, probably it won't come into effect either.
Vance could therefore simply appear at the border and the one individual border guard is then alone responsible for deciding whether to allow or refuse entry for USA's vice president.
Greenland is not part of Europe, EU or the Schengen region. No visa or esta is required for entry.
Greenland is an autonomous territory in the Kingdom of Denmark, Danish Krone is used and Danish is spoken by many, although Greenlandic is more popular.
I mean, it is a free world, and - unlike Trumpster - they do no discriminate. However, they are not required to treat them differently from any other person in the world, so they didn't.
Ami go home
Imagine an ice center in Greenland detaining the vp and his wife citing a decades old law. 👁️👄👁️
find any locals who wanted to greet the Second Lady
Did they lead with that? As in, asking as if she was greenlanders "second lady" and not only americans (the term didn't exist before this distraction, afaik)?
What? The term "second lady" most certainly existed long before this.
The term "second lady" most certainly existed long before this.
But only in the US as far as I know.
Most other countries don't have a title or official position for the spouses of the elected heads of state.

Many do, though the title is perhaps not used as often in most as it is in USA
And in those few other examples, it's not a position that has any particular importance to the state.
Where the US first lady has often acted in a pseudu-ambasador role.
This how we feel in California.
I hope it really is cancelled
Are they getting DOGE to look into whether the tickets were non-refundable?
