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.

I spent time having video calls with LEOs, intelligence agents and military folks over the course of the past 6-9 months. I saw how broken and disjointed and tribal power has become within the world of American authority.

I now know things about how the US government and military work that I feel the public should know.

I could write a book or make a YouTube video. But both of those are to inflexible and risky. I want to spill the beans in a much more permanent and effective way. I would like to help the public understand what is really going on behind the scenes, as best as I have seen.

I love that legal insider trading is basically what they're promoting.

Don Jr is on the board of Polymarket, FYI. I'm sure it's totally unrelated to all the 6 figure bets being placed mere minutes before every action in Iran.

He's also on the board of kalshi.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

is he on the board of my donut shop because i need one godsdamned vice

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

It's probably family owned, you should be safe.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I changed my mind my vice is going to be kittens not donuts. Does he own the local kitten shop he better not own the local kitten shop. I think the sheriff owns it.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

The sheriff in your town is MAGA and one of his best friends. Sorry.

[that is a very safe assumption but like, 20 years ago when our sheriff retired we got him to join the homelessness board. help out from the other side. it helped influence the culture at the sheriff's department since he would still pop in there and volunteer once a week. we've put in a lot of work to make our local departments be not as bastardy as we can get them. i haven't spoken with the current county sheriff since he was a deputy, but he looked at tea partiers (what became maga) the same as sovereign citizens]

Hey that's awesome. I live in a blue haven deep in maga territory, our police dept is decent while the sheriffs department sucks shit.
