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.

He was gunned down for a reason, I’m not sure what you’re talking about
He was gunned down because the person who assassinated him didn't like him.
You are seriously missing the point here, and I really can't tell at this point if you're trolling or just not expressing yourself clearly. Can you please stop posting the same juvenile, inane comment all over Lemmy? That the gunman "didn't like" the CEO has absolutely nothing to do with the situation. This is not grade school: nobody called someone else a name, or spread a rumor about someone else, or broke someone's favorite pencil. We're not talking about "not liking" someone personally; we're talking about someone who has committed what amount to crimes against humanity being taken down by a vigilante. The gunman very probably never met nor spoke with the CEO until he shot him.
Now, the potential consequences of widespread vigilantism? That is an interesting and worthwhile topic. And, having seen a half-dozen or so of your comments, I suspect that this is what is actually making you nervous. This was an extrajudicial killing, which is very much against the original decrees of the US (trial by jury, etc). But, maybe we are so far gone due to corruption... Again, this is where the conversation gets interesting.
No this is plain cold blooded pre-meditated murder. The CEO never committed any crimes against humanity.
