No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Labour's two headline policies are:
The green investment will be the biggest in the country's history and the workers' rights expansion will be the biggest in decades. Now, for me, those are two, necessary, excellent, leftwing policies.
I think people criticising them from the left are mainly criticising omissions: why no wealth taxes? Why not nationalise the water companies? And that's fair enough. Labour could do more and I hope they will. But the platform is a leftwing one, and I'm happy with it, even if it could always be more leftwing.
Which workers rights are expanding?
From the manifesto:
That's quite nice. Especially getting rid of the wage bands. A bit mad how a 20 year old can be paid £8 an hour while a minimum for a 21 year old gets £10 an hour. It doesn't really make much sense apart from an assumption that a 20 year old is still living with their parents
Wait and see.
I think your information is out of date
https://amp.theguardian.com/politics/2024/may/01/labours-new-deal-for-workers-will-not-fully-ban-zero-hours-contracts
The unions have describe new version of a “new deal for workers”. As having “more holes than a Swiss cheese”
This is from the manifesto, published after both those articles. It's the most up-to-date information we have on Labour's plans.
I just want the bloody NHS fixed and houses to be affordable lol.
They're hoping to do that, too! A cash injection for the NHS and planning reform, so more houses can get built more quickly, are both in the plan for the first 100 days. I imagine the planning reform will be in the King's Speech, but the NHS thing should be able to happen pretty quickly. If not, it will be in the first budget.
I hope so.
