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.

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.

Like an order of magnitude worse?
And then of course there is the christofascism angle, which is extremely disturbing because he definitely plans to never leave power again. He's currently trying hard to normalize use of military force against US citizens so he can seize control of the elections to make sure they go his way.
Whoa you're gonna scare people with those facts!
Facts? What are those?
There are 75 Million brain-washed idiots out there who we know, that can give a shit less about facts. Those people voted Trump in in hopes he'll - get this - lower egg prices. Now I know that's part of the reason but it was a large part. The same egg prices Trump would later tell everyone to shut up about, for real.
Ok, all true.
Just was hoping we could deep dive in american history but now I remember this site is still pretty shallow.
You think that comment was shallow? Breh...
Its shallow when compared to depth of American history.
Sir, this isn't KiwiFarms. Please go be an edgy tryhard there.
Lol, this is edge? Dont cut yourself on some butter.
If this is your reaction to a thoughful response, you are not going to find deep discussions anywhere, even where they exist.
So fucking sensitive
Lol, yes, you are.
Did something I say bother you?
I just think it's funny and easy to dunk on the low hanging fruits that are hypocrites. So to answer you: no, I'm not bothered. You seem awfully bothered tho. So sensitive. Lol.
Im literally crying right now. You internet bullies!
This was your opportunity to put your counter arguments in about how shady the rest of American politics is/was. However, you resorted to name calling and generalized BS. Why not engage in an actual discussion instead of folding?
Name calling? I agreed with you, I just was looking for a different discussion. Aside from constant trump bashing, which I myself take part, there is more than just one man. If I had the answer I was looking for I wouldn't have asked.
I have no idea why youre upset. It is one hundred percent apparent discussion on these boards is not very deep. I see it in many of the questions I ask. I hate to say it but the amount of thoughtful responses I see pale in comparison to, say, reddit.
Stop taking shit so personal..
Learn to read usernames, for starters. This is my first comment in this thread. Secondly, you called the person “so fucking sensitive” when they were actually just engaging with you. It’s up to you to then make your point, and instead you called him sensitive as a dig. That’s name calling. Also, I am genuinely not upset, but you sure sound worked up. It sounds like you want to start a fight and not a discussion.
Youre reading into it.
Thats what the sensitive part is, and it doesnt matter if it was OP or the people who chose to pile on. Youre all being too sensitive. If your have a problem with tone, ask me to correct my tone, or clarify. Just dumping on me because I made a criticism is boring and completely typical of this platform.
"reading into" your argument is "too sensitive"?
Make it make sense.
Its sensitive to share a critique?
Bro, you have brought this whole argument onto you because you don’t know how to shut up or seem to have any amount of self awareness that you’re wrong. Fuck off with this rage bait post. Taking my upvote away, jackass.
“Reading into it” did you want thoughtful discussion? Should people not read your words? I don’t know what you fucking want. Why don’t you get off this platform of you’re so jaded about it?
Bro
You're such a pathetic little whiny fuckin baby omg
I mean I don't have the amount of time necessary to go into how dirty past presidents have been and I certainly don't have the knowledge at my fingertips. But also, I think the stuff like Watergate and Monica Lewinski is barely a blip on the chart when you put Trump on it too. Which is not to say I condone the behavior of those presidents or seek to normalize their behavior. Just that from a numerical perspective it barely registers.
Honestly, Im not asking you specifically but you contributed the most thought provoking post of the thread and typically thats where thought ends on these boards.
