The walls are pockmarked from shrapnel and the golden arches are melted at Ukraine’s first McDonald’s. But the restaurant, a symbol of the country’s Western aspirations, still serves as a refuge in Kyiv.

      If you don’t support Western freedom like having a McDonalds then you’re a tankie, that’s the rule. You’ll be receiving your monthly Stalin painting soon, the cadre expects a daily kiss on it before you mail it back at the start of the month, so I recommend you invest in “Commie red” lipstick now to be sure it’s obvious!

      I think that’s an America only thing. Sure I’m not the most loyal McCostumer (like I’m only go there if I’m out of other options) but I’ve never seen one out of service here in Europe. On the other hand I’ve heard that McDonald’s coke is better in the USA, while this side of the pond is the most watered down, flat, ass-tasting liquid one can buy legally.

        There’s a servicing contract thing that happens with them here, so they’re probably engineered to break down often. Walk into a modern factory anywhere in this country and tell me their machines break down like that. It’s absurd.

          It’s rather that the machines give generic errors with no useful info, requiring calling for service. And if the minimum wage workers don’t follow the instructions correctly for cleaning it will fail, but won’t give an error until the end of the process hours later.

          They’re not actually broken, it’s just a cleaning process that is easy to do wrong when you don’t care because you’re paid pennies.

          yeah it’s wild how they can despise the west… but also, want to be the west themselves? they despise capitalists… and have hollowed out their own country with crony capitalism… they’re a failed petrostate who are losing a war to a tiny neighbor, 1000-1600 dead every day, going on longer than WW1.

          oh and they have the second largest pile of nuclear weapons in the world (or first, depending on whose numbers you trust)…

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.

  • 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 OCTOBER 19 2025

  • 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.
