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.

Kamala Harris running a damn near flawless campaign, with just a month 1/2 of campaigning. She’s been holding rallies nonstop with Tim Walz & not making her talking points about her race or gender like Hillary. She’s offering expanded healthcare, reinvestments back into public housing, wants to take on corporate greed, protect reproductive rights and chose a pro labor, pro education running mate.

Yet, she’s either barely leading or ties in most polls with a guy that:


Is a convicted felon.

Liable Sexual Predator.

Gets sentenced in November.

Has several more pending cases.

Increased Drone Strikes by 300%. (Joe Biden dosent use drones anymore).

Illegally killed an Iranian General unprovoked with a missle strike.

Increased tensions in Israel/Palestine with the Abraham Accords.

Wants war with Mexico (his words).

Tried to coup Venezuela.

Will bend the knee for Netanyahu’s potential war with Iran.

Lowered the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% (lowest in history).

Obvious tax cuts for the rich.

Told people to drink bleach during the pandemic.

Is the main driving force for America’s current division.

Constantly attacks marginalized groups.

Tried to steal the 2020 election (Find Me 11,000 votes in GA).

Did Fake Elector Slates to pressure Mike Pence to not certify the 2020 election.

Caused a riot on the capitol that lead to his OWN supporters dying.

Just got washed by Harris in the last debate, was completely unprepared on anything but immigration (“I have concepts of a plan”).

And so much more. So seriously what is it? Is it just the attraction to bigotry/racism? Is it to end “wokeness”. Is it because Kamala is a woman of color? You can’t use the both sides argument like Hilary or Biden, Kamala is the obvious better choice. Could you imagine if Kamala had as much baggage as Trump? The media would lose their minds.

Seriously, how the f*** is this guy still in the race?

i know that part, that ones a classic, i think there are a lot more tankies or "pipelined" tankies than we think on the left, but i also don't know shit so that's just conjecture lol.

People from texas are really goofy though. Something about that state. It's the florida of the inland states. Even though it's technically not inland.

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

My brother in law who was ultra pro China moved to Houston and turned into an American fundie. The entire state should just leave.

damn, what a fucking weird place down there hey?

At least that's where they all go to violate OSHA rules, and make us more money. I'll take what i can.

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Seriously. I feel the same way about Florida

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

texas and florida are two sides of the same coin i think...

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And a massive amount of electoral votes.

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

this is true, we should just move to florida to engage in "voting fraud"

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm sad for people in FL. So much misinformation and that swirl is nonstop. Ukraine should just take over Russia and then we only need to worry about China.

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

that would be very funny i'm not sure what the global implications are of ukraine taking over russia, but i'm certainly not going to stop them from trying lol.

[–] jaschen@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It would be crazy. Syria, Iran and Venezuela depend heavily on Russia. Those regions would become more unstable, if that is even possible.

China would now border Ukraine and China would treat Ukraine as a threat since they have close ties to the west.

Russia has a UN seat. Would Ukraine just inherit it? If not then there would be some tensions.

This is just what's on top of my head. Probably more complexities.

yeah that would be interesting. China and the UN seats are probably going to be the most interesting consequences.

I feel like ukraine would absolutely pull a peace treaty with china, to some extent. The US does a lot of trade, so while they're bordered, i don't think it would be super significant, as long as they had a deal worked out. Unless china started fighting with russia lol.

global trade would absolutely be fucked as well. Oil prices would be wacky, grain would be wacky, etc...
