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.

Well so far he has committed sexual assault, fraud, corruption, collusion with hostile foreign nations, soliciting election fraud, promoting violent insurrection, promoted murder of political opponents, sexual assault of a minor, bribery, misappropriation of tax payer money, contempt, interference of criminal investigations, war crimes, and lied every day through his miserable goddamn face every goddamn day for the past 10 years, and most of these things he doesn't just admit to, he brags about.
And most of those things were known before and during his first term. Seems to me he can literally get away with literally anything because American institutions and corporations are complicit in the corruption and madness that permeates in the American political and social sphere, and there is not a shred of integrity in the justice system.
The only thing that will stop him is the American people and so far they have not. It sucks but standing up to fascism when it has gotten this far is a lot of work and takes a lot of organization and sacrifice, so far regular people have not undertaken that difficulty. I believe most of the world is hoping they will.
You could say voting is one way to change things... But voters were the ones who chose Trump.... AGAIN. Voting is important of course but it is only one factor in maintaining democracy and American media, culture, education, and many many things have made a LOT of Americans stupid and dangerous. And let's be real, the Democrats are spineless capitalists who were happy with the system that led to a president like Trump.
Trump famously said he could shoot someone on fifth avenue and he would still win. ICE has already literally murdered American citizens and nothing has happened. Trump has sent Americans to torture prisons outside of the country. Trump has raped children and you have media defending him, he has stolen so much money and caused so many problems for so many people and hundreds of millions of people all over the world defend and worship him.
Its madness. Its all madness and from all the obvious bullshit and lies and just plain assholery and I'll never understand the appeal of Trump or modern conservativism. It's all grift and hate and misery for other people and its so obvious and I will just never understand that. And why should he ever stop taking and taking? No one had stopped him so far, he has only gained more power and control the more evil shit he does.
It only ends when good people find the courage to stand up and stop him.
End rant
And there are apparently a lot less good people in the government than everyone thought. Checks and balances aren't checking and balancing much.
LMFAO no offense but isn't that what normal people do with a checkbook and are to inept to apply critical thinking elsewheeerE?????
