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.

he'll probably kill someone again. the judge was wrong to not allow a MH conviction to go forward, but ultimately that puts the jury in the position to let out a seriously mental ill murderer with no consequences or not.
Gotta love armchair psychologists
yeah, I know so many mentally healthy people who murder all of the time.
All of the time? He allegedly did one murder. Plenty of mentally stable people only do the one. Don't be ridiculous.
If your only definition of "mentally stable" is "they don't murder again", then I guess you could make that argument, but it is ok to just acknowledge the fact that murder is not a healthy behavior. Like you don't have to fight fact on that one. It's just a known truth about the human condition. You can want Luigi out while acknowledging that murder is unhealthy and wrong.
So, killing someone in a war, automatically mentally ill?
Prosecutors hate this one trick! No murderer is competent to stand trial due to being mentally unstable! What's their diagnosis? Who knows! Who's your expert witness? Some random asshole on lemmy? Perfect!
I think the assessment of “just crazy enough” to step past that boundary is spot on, but to say that the man is batshit? Not at all.
This is a man who looked at a complex societal problem and chose a path, very deliberately. He didn’t just snap and walk into a building, guns blazing.
He also very deliberately limited his damage to one guy. A woman with coffee walked right up to what was happening, he looked right at her, she left, he let her.
This is not the action of a batshit person.
His mental health declined until he murdered someone. It’s not that he is “batshit”- he had a very serious issue that he could not manage on his own. When you isolate from others, can’t work, and only focus on your own pain and violently hurting others until you do it- you are not a healthy person who can mange your own affairs. To me, it’s no different from saying someone “deliberately” slammed their head into the wall, so they don’t “need” a room with cushioned walls.
Fair. Even so. To what degree that was the case, or not, is anyone’s guess. They’ve not pulled the trigger on a mental health defense, last check.
This was a serious question, stop being silly.
.... I think I shall start disregarding you, disregardable. Goodbye.
