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.

laizzez-faire isn’t an exclusive tenant of liberalism

Ooooooh... do tell, genius - what other ideology is so blindingly loyal to the capitalist mode of production?

Monarchism, perhaps?

Is there a particular reason you don't want to admit what liberalism is and always have been?

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Is that what the current iteration of the conservative ideology believes???

Crony capitalism is not laizzez-faire

[–] masquenox@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

"Crony capitalism" is the only kind of capitalism there is and always have been, genius.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

That is not laizzez-faire. By definition.

[–] masquenox@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Right, right... the (so-called) "free market" would never allow capitalists to act in a concerted way to dominate it, could they? Because... erm... reasons... something, something, "invisible hand," something, something.

Tell me another one, liberal.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

Right, right, this specific tenant of liberalism, admitantely, doesnt exsist in modern conservative ideology but its still my only argument.

Tell me another one cotton head.

[–] masquenox@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

And now you've become just completely incoherent... no wonder alt-righters that desperately avoid debates with real leftists have no problem running circles around you - your own logic defeats you before you've even started.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

I will not take the opinion of what is coherent from someone who is cos-playing an intellectual.

Maybe you should go back to jerking off Jordan Peterson.

[–] masquenox@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Falling for right-wing narratives without too much resistance is your characteristic, liberal... not us leftists.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Youre a disgrace to leftists and they should quarantine you to hasans fan page.

[–] masquenox@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Oh, look - a liberal telling leftists what they should or shouldn't do.

Do tell, liberal... why should leftists listen to anything a right-winger says?

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

Tell me this, why should a leftist be involved in the discussion at all if they are so political inept they dont understand democracy?

Your direct quote demonstrates it:

Do tell, liberal… why should leftists listen to anything a right-winger says?

[–] masquenox@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Nothing but incoherence from you again... wanna take a breather from all that "reaching across the aisle" you've been doing and try again, liberal?

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

You. Don't. Understand. Words.

Thats a you problem.

[–] masquenox@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Your incoherence is a "me" problem?

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

You not being able to understand simple concepts is very much a problem which I suspect infiltrates every aspect of your life.

[–] masquenox@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 hours ago

Again... your incoherence is a "me" problem?
