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.

Happens daily to me. That's life in a service industry. You deal with it.
What could I, as a customer, do to make your day brighter?
Friend, just be kind and respectful. Whether it's a teenager asking if you want fries with that, a retail worker helping ring up your purchases or a service tech fixing something for you, having good manners, not actively wasting their time or creating headaches for them, and having a bit of patience when we're both frustrated with a system that doesn't make it easy for you or us is a delight. Do your best to raise your kids to do the same, and remember it could just as easily be them on the receiving end. Most people are just fine. You can't fix other people. You can make it socially costly to be an asshole, so any chance you get, do so.
I already do that, but sometimes I wonder if I could do just a little more to help make up for all the assholes. And myself for the days when I'm the asshole.
Don't make the same dumbass joke we've heard a million times "ope, didn't scan, must be free", other than that, just don't lose your patience with someone who legitimately cannot defend themselves without getting fired
OK, what can I do other than not make that joke? Because I'm legally obligated to.
I'm sorry you're doomed, once the uprising comes, you're marked
Don't beat yourself up over being human. We all have our limits of what we can and can't do, and a customer can only do so much. Stand up for labor, support unions whenever you can, I know that's harder than it used to be, use your vote, and your voice when you're able to demand better for all of us. Those are what you can do as a citizen. I know it's abstract, I know they aren't perfect solutions, but it's better than where things are. And maybe we can all work on being better neighbours too. Remember, the most you can do is always working with others as a community.
Fuck him.
Give him all the cancers.
If this is what you're like in real life, i feel like the world would be better without you. I hope you someday improve your behaviour.
I’m simply respecting your right to free speech. You have the right to say and think, ‘Billionaires deserve to die.’ That’s your First Amendment right, and I respect your right to think it. However, at the exact same time, I 100% also have the right to say, ‘You deserve cancer. I hope your kids get cancer, and if your 5-year-old son dies in a school shooting, he deserves it.’
You have a right to say it, but that doesn't mean you should say it. And I never said billionaires deserved to die. Like a lot of people in this thread, I just want their wealth redistributed. Telling people their kids deserve to die is dickish behaviour and you ought to stop. You aren't legally required to stop, but you ought to. People have a right to disassociate with you for this behaviour and they probably should. Thank you for respecting my right to free speech, but doing so doesn't require you to say dickish things to people
Ah, the "I had to suffer, so everyone else does too" mentality. Now I see why they wished the worst on you.
I have the right to say "some kids deserve painful cancer"
It's my legal right.
Yes, and it’s everyone else’s legal right to both tell you what they think of what you said, and refuse to associate with you.
Laws are in place because of precedent. New precedent is set every day.
Society makes laws, but is greater than its laws. Laws don’t define society, they help enforce it.

We already established that. You have the right to express your opinion. That doesn’t mean there are no consequences to doing so.
Nobody challenged your legal rights.
You are a vile human being.
You're legally allowed to, but that doesn't mean you should. I'm legally allowed to eat a whole bag of sugar as fast as I can
Your right and your stupidity.
Yep, and it's everyone else's right to wish it right back at you. I almost wish I believed in hell, because the idea of people who think like that slow-roasting for eternity is comforting. Unfortunately, the cosmos doesn't usually do justice. That's a human affectation. May you always find justice.
What about your justice though?
What if your kid getting cancer or dying in a school shooting IS your justice?
Ngl this thread is cracking me up
Why? What the fuck did they do to you?
