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.

... no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected...

So having previously served two years exactly is allowed.

If we're being pedantic, Harris already served as acting president for 1h25m on November 19, 2021 while Biden underwent a colonoscopy. If hypothetically Biden had died or resigned exactly 2 years into his term (January 20, 2023 12pm ET), and Harris assumed the presidency for the remaining two years, her total time would be over 2 years and she would be ineligible for a second term.

Yeah I actually brought that up in my top-level reply. But does the two years count the time spent as Acting President?

~~I don't know.~~ It does count, it's part of my top-level comment but I have the shittiest memory in the universe.

If we're being pedantic

I'm always pedantic, except when I'm not 😂

So you are not always pedantic. So you are not really pedantic if you said you are always but are not... unless you were pedantic about saying you are not always pedantic?

"Mm, yes, shallow and pedantic."

In that case, could she have her new VP take over for a few hours to negate that time she accumulated previously?

[–] LeFantome@programming.dev 3 points 1 month ago

She would just need to schedule surgery or something.

New conspiracy theory: The reason the US has only incredibly old presidential candidates is because the VPs are pulling all the strings.

If you mean Dick Cheney, you are not wrong.
