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.

My dad has recently been caught having an affair with his young personal assistant. Huge scandal; mom was very angry. Now they’re in the middle of divorce proceedings. Mom moved out, the other woman moved in and I chose to stay with him because we’re super close; he’s like my best friend. Now mom’s telling me to go and live with her and go no contact with him cause he’s a bad person and by continuing having a relationship with him I’m condoning his actions and “ignoring her suffering”. My relationship with my dad hasn’t changed, I don’t see why I should end it.

What an odd thing for an adult to say. I feel bad for you, do you get mad at the tv as well? Life isn't a reality show and people's emotions are not logical. Secondly making you child choose to take a side in divorce is 100 not healthy.

I would get mad at my tv if it cheated on my mother? Kind of does feel like a reality show with the father cheating, kicking his wife out and bringing in his affaire partner so they can be a happy family against with the new substitute.

What a joke comment.

You're the type of person who gets mad your significant other cheated in your dream. So much personal projections in the novella you crafted about this guys family, I'm sure you got all the facts Detective Grimy.

It's extra funny to me that you don't understand that I was insinuating that your intelligence was to dull to differentiate reality from a broadcast sitcom.

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Lol, I got what you meant, it's literally the rest of the comment. It took me a few though, you kind of said it in a silly way. It also brings nothing to the conversation, hence why I'm mirroring your bad attitude.

[–] al_Kaholic@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I don't have a bad attitude, I merely suggest that life isn't as black and white as you so badly desire that it is blinding and binding you unto a zealous fanatic.

I was insinuating that your intelligence was too* dull

Pick a lane.

I'm going with a third option. I can have a great attitude and think you're a moron. It happens every day.
