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.

No, they aren't. Tariffs are taxes, and we are all paying much more, and it's going to get a lot worse.

And where does pedophilia and corruption fit into traditional religious family values?

Okay, you may have me there.

Increased tariffs, aren't going to compensate for the loss of the other taxes they cut. On balance it's still lower taxes, just not for the poor.

Pedophilia and corruption are unrelated to family values. I never mentioned them. Not sure what your getting at with that.

Tariffs are taxes, and tariffs have increased, therefore taxes have increased. Simple as that. No need to try to explain it away with magic math, taxes/ tariffs have increased. Period.

MAGAs are not interested in lower taxes on citizens, just for Sociopathic Oligarchs and Corporations. That does not count as "Lower Taxes" as a policy.

Pedophilia and corruption are unrelated to family values. I never mentioned them. Not sure what your getting at with that.

I mentioned them as core MAGA values in my original post. Your post made me reconsider them as MAGA RELIGIOUS family values, since pedophilia and corruption are core values of all religions.
