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.

Lol, no.
The world doesn't work like this.
Who would get fired up who wasn't already on side? Independents or those on the fence would just note that the Democrats were pulling the same nonsense they just spent four years crying fascism about. Right wingers would just see confirmation that the rules don't matter. On the Left, the adults among us would see this as a stupid, hypocritical temper tantrum with no possibility of success and a further erosion of democratic norms.
This would be super unhelpful.
Yeah, and they fucked our country so fuck them. If you were "on the fence" about this election then you simply dont desrve voting rights. Your opinion does not matter anymore.
Cool, nothing changes.
Ah yes, the adults who have gotten so much done with the erosion of our democracy since 2016. Bruh fuck "the adults" too, you guys failed us. Get out of the way and let actual progress happen instead of considering maybe possibly giving ukraine a little bit of funding but definitely giving isreal nukes to use on civs.
You people who want to work within the law while republicans consistently evade it are at best a waste of space. As worst, you are actively convincing people to simply pretend the issues are going to solve themselves, cause god knows you and your party wont.
Ironically, this is how a large swathe of the country feels about those who voted for Harris.
Kid, we couldn't even get a majority of Americans to vote with us this time. Hystrionics and temper tantrums are not going to make things better.
Bruh you are not listening.
Yeah, and expect to see that forever. Were moved ng more to the right. We are literally getting worse and, at best, the democrats are too afraid to do anything about it. At worst theyre actively holding us back from progress and are no better than republicans.
I do not care about how "a large swathe of the country" feels. I'm no longer delusing myself into thinking we can please everyone.
The important thing is to make the world better, and that simply will not happen within the framework we have been given. Violence against republicans and the leaders of the democrat party are literally the only way forward.
Like im not even interested in continuing this debate. If you want to take a look at the last decade of democrat ineffectiveness and decide to continue that trend, then arguing with you is pointless.
I am not here to convince you, you want to sit on your laurels like all the other democrats that failed us. I am speaking to those that actually want the world yo get better
Ahhh good "people won't listen to the things I want so violence is the answer."
When you're espousing the same political philosophy as Al Qaeda, you should reassess.
That being said, I said some stupid shit when I was a kid too, hopefully you grow out of it and help us actually make things better.
K, so im not going to engage with the age related trolling, as i am very likely opder than you, and your attempts to belittle me very much strike me as a childish response to the the fact that you cant argue against the complete ineffectiveness of your policies.
But, since you have conceeded actually arguing your point in favor of being childish, I guess theres not much more here to discuss. I hope you enjoy wasting your and everyone elses time with your virtue signalling as the world goes to shit, really hope it helps you sleep at night knowing you are acheiving nothing but making yourself feel righteous.
If you're an adult saying that violence is the only solution because people don't agree with you, that's fucking terrifying.
Honestly, no trolling, if that's what you sincerely believe to your core, there are all sorts of therapists. If you are an adult, odds are you have some sort of coverage that will help fund that. Otherwise, there are at least free resources.
That's the kind of shit most folks grow out of by their 20s except for a dangerous few who go on to do horrific things (none of which have ever helped their cause outside of the basic goal of terrorism which is to make things worse for everyone.)
He's just a moron that plays video games all day, so his frame of reference is a fictional world. He seems to think being obtuse online makes him appear strong and therefore smart. He's basically a Trump voter that missed a memo along the way.
I hope you're right! I'm used to these kids online "Oh, I'd kick your ass" etc but threats of violence against republican and democratic leadership is spooky because there's always that small chance that it's actually an unhinged adult instead of an edgelord teen.
I've got good and bad news for you: it's an edge-lord adult. I get the feeling people would feel vicarious embarrassment for him if they knew what he looks like, how he acts, and what his life is like irl. Perhaps pitying him and moving on is the best emotional response.
I've already blocked him, so, as far as I'm concerned, problem solved.
