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.

When I was on the hiring team at work, I googled an applicant and discovered that they were arrested in the 90s for filming themself having sex with a cow. That is increadibly offputting but they had a clean record in the 30 years since then and even if they didn't it was in no way applicable to the job in question so I simply disregarded that fact. Obviously I still knew they fucked a cow but I simply didn't consiously factor it into the hiring decision. They did get the job btw.
I imagine it is the same for a jury. Obviously the jury can't literally forget something that was said but they can consiously choose to disregard it when it comes to their final decision. Obviously it's not perfect because any information admissable or otherwise will subconsciously influence someones verdict but if they try to actively ignore that info then it is better than nothing.
As long as you don't work with cows it shouldn't matter, Now if it a job on a dairy farm...
If a jury of my peers finds me guilty of any crime, no matter how obvious it is that I did it, and I then find out they're all a bunch of cow fuckers, I will be filing for an appeal.
I'm sorry if I missed the point of this story, it was a long day for me.
Gotta admire the dedication of producing homemade beastiality porn in the 60s with a camera that must've weighed a ton and cost a small fortune. Hired!
That's not admirable...
It's not the crime against nature we're admiring, it's the dedication and any sufficient amount of dedication worth admiring is rare to find nowadays.
Did they know you knew they fucked a cow? I hope you used that as leverage in every confrontation with them.
