White House pressing Ukraine to draft 18-year-olds so they have enough troops to battle Russia
  • I've been to war already so you're barking up the wrong tree.

    And no, the Russians have been caught raping, murdering, and pillaging. This isn't just some fight over who controls the region where the people never see a difference.

  • Australia bans social media for under 16s
  • But what about those Parental Responsibilities you were talking about earlier? Are you saying we now need extra social safety nets for kids who don't fit the mold and get bullied? Extra places for them to learn and play under supervision? Because I don't think that's going to be economical without boarding them there, away from their parents.

  • Israel and Hezbollah both claiming ceasefire violations on Day 2
  • Israel considers anyone returning to the area to be Hezbollah. Despite a cease fire meant to end the fighting they are still telling people it's off limits. Which means they will shoot at them. In order to justify that they'll call them Hezbollah in the international press.

    Israel is used to controlling the information sphere and they still think they can blame their victims.

  • Trump mocked after Mexico’s president blows up his brag about their call
  • Mexico isn't going to be the one to lose a trade war. Thanks to NAFTA they are an integral part of our manufacturing chain and a huge food source. They can be poor, they've been poor before. Americans are going to lose it when groceries get even more expensive.

  • Trump mocked after Mexico’s president blows up his brag about their call
  • They need to do it so hard that Magats realize he's the laughing stock of the world. Imagine a world in which American news couldn't avoid running stories about how world leaders literally shun Trump. Would we abandon the entire world order? or would the American Oligarchs demand the 25th Amendment be used?

  • Sidebar Rules Are Updated

    Several people pointed out that our rules for behavior weren't immediately apparent. While I would say this shouldn't be an issue in a community about posting new communities, I have been proven wrong on multiple occasions. So I have made the list in our sidebar. These are a paraphrasing of Mastodon.World's rules. So there is no functional change. We will continue to use their rules as a master list. But they boil down to being civil. If you don't like something or someone and have no constructive criticism, then you just move on.

    I'm going to put changes here as well so people on apps can see them easier.

    >The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World’s rules. You can click the link but we’ve reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn’t a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.

    >1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.(link)

    >A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn’t rule breaking and we can’t be supportive to them then we probably shouldn’t engage.

    >B. No illegal content.

    >C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.

    >D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.

    >E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.

    Civility in New Communities

    Guys I understand there's big stuff going on in the world. This community though is really just about finding other communities. For now, on the theory that people kind of forgot where they were, some temp bans were handed out. I have no pretensions of this being c/news or something. But I also have no pretensions of this being c/news. It is absolutely beyond the pale to post your political broadsides here while people are trying to figure out the best place to have their community. The only way politics is acceptable here is if you're talking about opening or moving a community about politics or because of politics. And it should absolutely remain civil. A simple, "I don't like your ideology", is enough here.

    news.yahoo.com U.S. urges China military dialogue despite rebuff to Blinken

    BEIJING (Reuters) -The United States on Tuesday pressed its call for military communication channels with China and signalled concern over reports that China plans a military training facility in Cuba following Secretary of State Antony Blinken's trip to Beijing over the weekend. Establishing milit...

    The Biden administration wants to set up a deconfliction line with China in much the same way they set one up with Russia during the Cold War. They're also signaling that future cooperation may come in the financial sector or by refining sanctions by tapping the Treasury Secretary as one of the next US officials to meet with Chinese leaders. The Commerce Secretary may also be about looking for a ways to offset the US bringing chip production home.
