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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

There’s plenty that are mad.

Just that the minority that are happy about it and the billionaires that own all forms of media keep sweeping that fact under the rug. Or they put a question mark at the end of it. Are Americans all that upset about trump? How much damage is trump really doing? And then they softball the response to questions like that with “who really knows what the damage will be? when it’s objective what the results are and the future holds.

Those of us who are extremely upset about the state of our country are constantly wondering WTF is wrong with the other ones. I think a large part of it is a slow, progressive dumbing down by our growing addiction to entertainment and convenience. We've become a nation of 13-year-olds who think mom is a bitch for making us go to the dentist.

The delusion that their party will someday fix it

I bet soon you'll see massive consequential protests.

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

There is a lot of protests, the media isn't really reporting them.

[–] Auli@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The majority of people votes for this that is why. The no voters just wanted a clean conscious but they still voted for this.

Everyone's angry, nobody can agree on what the problem is or what to do about it.

We are mad and we’re getting madder. We just haven’t hit the fever pitch yet. There hasn’t been a catalyst.

But eventually there will be one and we’ll be able to coalesce around it. Seems like Moscow Musk is starting to be the foil, but so could a number of other things: egg prices, bid flu, new Hoovervilles. Something will make it happen.

Now is the time to plan and prepare.

I also wonder this but then the people that voted for trump are very happy.

You'd think with that username...

They are so mad that democrats weren't a sufficiently exciting alternative to an outright fascist entente. Livid, they are.

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Why are we still talking about this? I'm over it. I'm over the democrats too. I'd sit with the Palestinians at lunch time rather than the DNC any day, anyway.

The chance at taking freedom and everything from others first.

Edit: that quote and story have disappeared except for some Nigerian news site still on MSN.

The feeling that nobody else really gives a shit is what does it for me.

Bread and circuses.

Though that's a little antiquated, so now it's "high fructose corn syrup and superbowl".
