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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

The world should at the very least be imposing economic sanctions on the US.
But they depend on the USA for billions upon billions every year. It's difficult to sanction the hand that feeds you...
Do people actually believe this? The US gains hugely from international trade laws that are basically in its favour (they got to write them after WW2). The loss of trust in America will cost it far, far more than any magical gain that Trump believes in. The US exports copyrights and software. Things that could be easily just copied and not paid for if we are all no longer interested in actual laws.
Nobody trusts America, that's silly.
They trust Raytheon, Boeing, etc. to continue providing them with weapons, IMF with loans for those weapons, and so on.
Rule one of war, the arms dealers, PMC companies and money lenders are the only ones that win.
America made sure it's all 3 to basically every country.
You can't just cut America out of your economy unless you think other countries arnt just goanna walk in and claim they own you now afterwards.
It takes many many years to divorce yourself from those sorts of reliances.
Yes. So many fools ate it up when Trump and JD Vance were going on and on about how much the US spends on projecting power across thr globe and how the world owes them money for that, as if the US gets nothing in return for every military dollar it spends... stupid fucks.
