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.

You maybe have ever met my sibling
Boston. IYKYK.
Boston has the benefit? of being interesting and kind of old
every one of these crossing has it's own seperate light btw,
note, this is also a block from a major rail terminal. there'z a shopping mall to the northwest, and that building to the southwest is a police station
Definitely does, and it's a beautiful city, but I never want to drive in it ever again lol.
Had to travel there 3 times for work. The first time I rented a car and immediately regretted it. The second and third times I demanded that management reimburse me for taxis instead of the car rental or I wouldn't go lol.
Lexington is long notorious for how the street names change despite that you're still on the same street. I will look that up though, not everyone there is insane
Phoenix IMO, a gigantic grid where every street corner looks exactly the same due to the human tumor of suburban chain retail development. Makes you feel lost in a machine. You never know where you are, always feel lost and dependent on maps and apps to get anywhere.
I understand Phoenix is not great for locals. It is great from a truck driver perspective. In Phoenix I always knew exactly where I was in relation to the highway. I could read a Phoenix address and understand it. I want to avoid the entire state because of a young woman named Renee and also it is lowkey horrible
I joke that driving around Surprise is like the twilight zone since every intersection looks so similar.
That's the best brief description.
yeah I actually think they did a really bad job out west. in earlier city development, they brought over the experience of European city design. as they started expanding out, nobody knew what they were doing, but they still had to design cities around the geography. but once you get past the mountains to the flats, where there's nothing constraining your design but common sense...you see the results of American exceptionalism.
Most of Houston is parking spots. Unwalkable and unbicycleable, little greenery. Gets scorching hot.
Sorry I forgot Houston, dfw, ... What is going on down there
Interested to understand why Lexington is bad. I've never seen it, but there was a recent CityNerd episode praising its urban design.
