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.

Myrtle Beach is on that list. People are moving there for the meth and racism.
Forgot to add, these cities are hot moving target cause housing is cheap. They are popular with the wealthy leaving cities and moving to lower CoL areas. It’s not cause they are safe or have jobs. They are affordable compared to bigger cities.
Hmm. That's an interesting theory.
I live in one of the cities on that list. It is definitely a thing. People can move here and pay cash for homes, after selling their homes in an extremely high COL area.
But this city isn’t a red city by any means. It’s just another blue city in a red state. Which a lot of the ones on that list are.
Not really a theory, when it's been proven true. Many retirees are moving to low CoL areas because their social security and or retirement funds can't keep up. Lower income people will move if they are able to.
There are jobs that pop up in these areas, but on average the income is significantly less. For example Tennessee will pay new grad nurses $22 an hour. That's one of the lowest wages for a bedside nurse. Not enough to live in the city where a hospital is located. I think it was Alabama that passed a state law that prohibited cities from raising the minimum wage for jobs in the city. Jobs in most of these areas pay poverty wages.
I used to live in Florida and when looking at the average the CoL is lower than my new state Oregon. Yet after moving and living here for a year I pay less on car and home insurance, property taxes, and no sales tax. Sure I might pay a tiny bit more in income tax but my salary is 30% higher for the same job. My wife's is 45% higher for the same job.
Not to mention "average" means nothing when rural hick areas are lowering the entire state. Many parts of Florida have a higher cost than most other cities.
