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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Okay, but again, you're missing the entire point of the conversation.
This is a person worried about losing their rational mind.
You're trying to describe rationality.
That's not how memory loss works. At. All.
You're making this about YOU, and it has nothing to do with you. Only the person who asked the question.
Firstly, that is how memory loss works. If they're a person who has a prexisting interest or history in a thing, in a moment of confusion they may well forget that it's not a good idea for them to go do that thing again.
Secondly, I'm not making it about me. I'm using myself as an example.
Thirdly, there's no "again" here. This was our first interaction about this.
Finally, the person who asked the question is clearly concerned about this aspect. You making this about YOU and YOUR assumptions on their history, personality, and general ethos does not help a person who is genuinely seeking help. Perhaps try answering their question ("how do I ensure I am on a no-purchase list for firearms?") instead of attempting to make this more than it is and making this a "the psychology of gun owners" debate?
No, it's not.
Someone who didn't own or had a penchant for guns in the first place wouldn't SUDDENLY get all crazy about guns as you're suggesting. It's simply not a thing.
Whatever your crazy insecurities are about this, it's not about the OP who is simply asking about being restrained in a way. Not because they are prone to it, but because they don't know what's going to happen.
You're just some insecure assholes making this about you. Fuck off.
Jesus Christ. Is there some kind of medication you're supposed to be taking that you haven't? Or perhaps a medication you're not supposed to be taking that you have taken too much of?
Re read what I said. I specifically said if they had that interest. My original comment was mostly agreeing with you that if they had that interest is when the concern kicks in. Seriously. You're so busy attempting to defend yourself that you've blinded yourself to the fact that no one was attacking you. Fucking chill.
Friend...you need to chill. Gonna leave it there because you seem to have issues regulating.
... Yeah. I'm blocking you. You're deeply awful.
