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.

That seems to be the sentiment

Ok, what are YOU going to about it? You've stomped your feet and pointed your finger at just about everyone else in this thread, what's your plan?

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (1 children)

My plan is to stand with the people who oppose this. Thats my plan.

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Lol ok bud. Sounds more like a concept of a plan.

Your right friend. Getting involved in my community, being responsible for my neighbor, and advocating for justice is only a concept of a plan. Forcing myself out of bed in the morning, being a leader in the workplace and practicing my beliefs, being involved in local elections etc. Are details you are entirely uninterested in.

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 1 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Hate to break it to you, but those are baseline minimums for being a decent human being, not a contingency plan to actively resist fascism.

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 1 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

Yep, we are all going to have to be decent human beings.

What do you suggest?

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 1 points 10 hours ago

Indeed.

Where to start.. my ideas are focused on being located in a small remote town, so this may not be directly applicable. I've been friendly with most everyone I've met here since I moved here, and as such have coincidentally made friends in areas of key importance. I'm fairly certain that this wave of bullshit cannot be fought right from the outset, and so my initial plain is one of wait. We locally have a plan to first and foremost keep our water sources available. Our town is entirely dependent on wells, and we have contingency power apparatus ready to supplant a loss of utility power. We've have a number of 2nd homes up here that have solar systems in place, and my buddies in the local power company and I have the necessary inverter/charger equipment ready to make regular 12v car batteries for a storage system with the local grid ready to keep a basic electrical system functional should we need to isolate the system. There is an abundance of wildlife up here that we don't need to worry about food supply, and many people are already growing their own veggie gardens via hydro. We are geographically benefitted in that we can withstand a ground assault from unfriendly forces. In the event that were lit on fire or bombed, my close group and I have escape routes both to the both and south that do not depend on mapped highway systems (with the military at the southern border, north will likely be the better option, we just better hope that we don't have to make an escape.ove in winter). The rest, I dunno.
