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.

I go to work to work and then go home. I calculate how much time my commute needs so I can maximize my free time and don't waste time at the workplace before the shift begins. I don't owe my employer any unpaid time.

I'm the only one who thinks like this: my coworkers are full in the "we are a family" vibe and some of them come 30 minutes before the shift begins, what to me is an extremely idiotic idea. Why being at the workplace more time than needed?

This is nursing and I need to hear report before working. Our second shift begins at 12:35 but some coworkers want to start it at 12:30, even to the point of giving report without me, which is fine as long as they give me report about my patients. Each of us has, theoretically, 3 minutes to change into scrubs, but this is also ignored. They expect me to be at 12:30 fully dressed and seated, ready for report. Union says 12:30 is the time I enter my unit and change into scrubs, so I start at 12:35. My coworkers simply don't want to hear that shift begins at the hour it begins, the manager is passive.

Our union is very conflict avoidant.

I'm not the kind of person who does things like expected just because that's how it's always been done but if I question why I get yelled at. I like following the book because otherwise the manager's favorites get away working less and blabbing more.

I don't know if this is one of those situations where I should pick my battles and let it go. I feel they steal my free time.

And the union doesn't care as much as I do.

You have a very different family than me.

If work was like MY family, we’d all work in different countries and I’d visit my manager once or twice a year and get the jobs done that we couldn’t sort out over the phone or email. I’d find out about all the stuff they’d been letting slide and sort out as much as I could over a weekend. When I got home people would ask me if I had a good holiday.

Wait. That IS how my workplace operates!
