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.

I don't think trump lied. Prior to 2024, he said in every interview that he planned to do all the things he is doing.
When asked what his plan about the affordable care act was, he replied that he has "concepts of a plan".
When asked what he plans to do if he loses the 2024 election, he replied "We already have all the votes we need. We rigged it so hard that Kamala can't can't rig it any harder. We have enough votes that you'll never need to vote in another election ever again. We've taken care of all that."
He said that in September 2024.
When asked what he was going to do about offshore drilling, he said that he was going to cut the red tape, and drill drill drill. He said everybody was going to make a lot of money.
I could keep going with an endless supply of examples. I'm pulling all these off the top of my head, but he NEVER SHUTS UP. And it's all documented online somewhere.
So I can research more terrible things he's said, but the basic jist is, he walked in the door, said he was going to do terrible things. People responded by NOT BELIEVING HIM!!!! Now they're surprised he's doing the things he said he'd do.
Yes, he is the only honest politician maybe in history, but his message was "Fuck you. Fuck all of you. I'm going to fuck shit up." And people laughed.
So, of all the things to blame trump for, I don't think lying is something you can really hold against him.
Except the epstein stuff. He CONSTANTLY lies and dodges that subject.
every politician lies.
Trump just does it BIGGER AND BETTER. and people like that. they like the boldness.
just think about how in your own life... how often socially popular people are the biggest liars and bullshitters you probably personally know. but everyone still admires them because they are 'confident'.
