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! 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.

There's a story in Danish news media about a preteen girl getting a 100 USD bill from the advance people. The dad got pissed, framed the bill and put it on the wall and donated its value to charity. The story concludes with a statement from the tax authorities, that the money must be reported as taxable income.
IDK about you, but if people associated with a child molester's son, working to further the child molester's cause, had given my kids money, I'd be fucking furious.
Framing it seems like a strange response... Usually you do that for things you value...
Or things that remind you of some event, which may not be a pleasant one.
Or so when people ask you what it is for you can retell the story
Hilariously pathetic.
Here's the problem though.
Was it obvious the whole thing was staged? Yup. Just like the McDonald's stunt from the summer and several others.
Do the people it's targeting know this? Nope. Because Fox News and the right wing media aren't reporting on how fake it was. They just show a few clips and talk about how the people of Greenland really really want to be part of the US.
And by the time the duplicity if fully reported on, the lemmings already believe it hook line and sinker.
Yep, we're on day 5? 6? Of hyper-anaylizing this event and finding inconsistencies and deceptive practices? Meanwhile his supporters have already forgotten this whole event. They've moved on and filed the whole thing away as yet more overwhelming proof that the people in Greenland love them and they are right about everything.
First who gets the click drowns everything that follows. Because nobody has attention span to spare to read about Greenland the second time.
Wonderful time to create alternative realities.
Honestly I'm surprised homelessness exists in Greenland
And even with that fakery, they could only find 15 people.
There are 600-800 homeless people in all of Greenland... For the people it concerns, it's a great problem because of the cold climate, but it's not a huge number of people. Why would they target this extremely small group? Any thoughts?
Easily bought I presume. Giving free food is cheaper than handing out money to people who are in a better financial position.
Likely less informed as well.
Why the hell would homeless people in another country give a shit about another countries politicians which has had 0 impact on their lives
Money is payment. Food can be spun as kind-hearted. "I just bought them lunch; why are you being so mean about it?"
A greater crowd in attendance, even if they're there just for the food, lends an air of legitimacy.
It's all about appearances.
Yeah how the fuck is this not self-apparant? Do people really need this explained to them?
They'll also make the populace.. look like homeless people
Yeah considering how butthurt Trump got about how few people showed up to his first inauguration and then spending so much effort trying to change the narrative, this is exactly it. No matter how hard he fails it’s important that it looks like a success to the idiots that voted him in and are eagerly waiting for egg prices to dip
How is the reasoning here not self-apparant? It's crazy to me that people need additional information to put two and two together here.
They were the only ones that would attend ...
Because they are clueless.
In their tiny, pathetic, syphilitic minds, every country must have the same problems as the U.S. It's inconceivable to these morons that Greenland wouldn't actually have a large percentage of homeless people, because the U.S. does.
The conversation probably quite literally went like this between two morons sitting in Mar a Lago:
"Hey, let's just get some homeless people to show up."
"Do they have homeless people in Greenland.
"Of Course they do! Look around. They're everywhere..." (Completely ignoring the fact that they're not actually in Greenland.
Besides, a homeless person probably wouldn't turn down free lunch.
A lot of homeless people in greenland? I wouldn't think it's an environment conductive to living without Shelter.
Homeless people don't just exist in places that have a mild climate you know...
No, but when the climate is severe enough they don't usually last long.
