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.

So now we can add “directly capturing a sovereign leader” to the list of crap the US has done. So what do you think will actually be “the straw that broke the camels back” for world leaders to actually do something? Think it’ll be significant or something mundane?

Russia tried to invade Ukraine and that's why we have the war. Russia is being imperialistic and Ukraine wants to preserve their country and not live under a Putin dictatorship.

The EU is preparing and strengthening themselves in response to Russia's aggression. The end result is that they are more resilient and stronger against threats.

By standing up to Russia's aggressions they are showing the world that they will not tolerate military invasions into another country. Meanwhile Trump threatening to annex other countries is giving a green light to dictators like Putin and Xi Jingping to invade other countries.

Russia was forced to "invade" Ukraine. EU was forced to accept the US forcing Russia to defend itself. Sanctions, Nordstream, extortionist US energy imports, austerity to fund NATO commitments and fight US war for US. EU's role in one of the most evil wars in history, is by far the most pathethic evil subjugation of own people in service of demonism in history.

By standing up to Russia’s aggressions they are showing the world that they will not tolerate military invasions into another country.

Sadly, dead wrong. CIA puppet EU regimes are deflecting their full submission to the US through Russophobia tough talk, and the proof of "US applies rules to others world order" is the shameful sycophantic reaction to Venezuela.

Trump threatening to annex other countries is giving a green light to dictators like Putin and Xi Jingping to invade other countries.

Such deals to carve up the world are possible, and US settling for Latin America long term a path to delaying its collapse. But the EU has placed itself on the menu, with its demonic evil baseless Russophobia propaganda soapbox, instead of being a power broker.
