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.

China is a big place. Saturation with security cameras is an urban thing.
Also, something I've learned in America is that people make a lot of noise about keeping kids safe, but that's all just smoke. I can't speak for China, but in America children are the least valuable humans, in economic terms, and they get prioritized accordingly.
Yea that incident was in Guangzhou, I assume nowadays its probably filled with surveillance cameras.
China might not have guns and mass shootings, but domestic abuse is an issue that the law doesn't really touch on, especially is its more covert like verbal abuse or even physical violence if it didn't cause serious harm...
Especially if its not a spouse-on-spouse thing but its a parent against a child...
Like there are things that would trigger a CPS investigation in the US that in China they wouldn't do much about, cuz its just treated as "discipline" and its "family matters" and legal system isn't touching this.
I think my parents fear of CPS is why once we arrived in the US, they stopped with their um... ahem "disciplinary actions" against me.
(Also maybe cuz I got older and can sort of fight back??? Maybe 🤷♂️)
(I actually cant even remember a specific instance of my mom hitting me anymore... must been a repressed memeory by now, but I'm pretty sure it happened)
Also teachers have meter sticks to hit kida with...
Okay its not a beating, but I remember like you had to put your hands out and then the teacher slapped your hands with the ruler...
Dont remember what for... maybe "behavior problems"?
Or perhaps poor grade is also one of the things... idk, memory in 1st and 2nd grade isn't exactly flawless...
But corporal punishment seems very acceptable in China...
Saw a movie recently about Taiwan's education system (not the main story, but the backdrop of the plot, main movie was about Taiwanese Americans moving back to Taiwan), and in the plot, the parents encouraged the teacher to use the ruler thing as a form of discipline... wtf... that was actually the thing that jogged my memories...
(The point being, same culture, even being politically divided and with a different government, the culture is same... adults just get to do whatever as "discipline")
