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.

Imma be real though homie, the two sides are not the same in their beliefs of how to handle it and thats where the problems arise. One side wants people to legally immograte, and are for changing the system to avoid as much backlog and frankly, bullshit in order to legally immigrate now. The other side wants them to illegally immigrate so they can deport them to prisons in worse countries (potentially making a buck off it too) and hunt them down using a privatised militia cosplaying as government agents (because them you have a privatised militia willing to take orders from just your side, and that leads to total authoritarian control). So its not like a "we just dont like the other side and thats why we refuse to work with them", its more that the other side is kinda fucking evil, and working with them just means that evil gets to spill out all over the place.
What side is that exactly? Definitely not a side that has any representation in Congress. Despite all the virtue signaling from Democrats, they're more than happy to keep things the way they are, take advantage of undocumented workers for cheap labor in their businesses, and deport the rest. Obama held the record for deportations up until recently. Jack shit has been done to streamline the process which can take 20+ years despite these people living and working here all that time.
In centuries past, people would migrate up here seasonally to work the farms before going back home for the rest of the year. It wasn't until our bullshit immigration laws came about that those migrant workers would stay all year because it became too difficult to cross the border with all the roadblocks that were put in place.
