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.

Fucking hell man, are you absolutely sure you're not American? Your reading comprehension is on par with their shittier states.
Where have I argued for privatization? Logistic concerns apply regardless of who is providing a service, even the state still needs employees to provide a service with their fucking work.
In fact, I'm from Italy, our healthcare system is public and subisidised, and I used that as an example because the state struggles to fill positions in rural and mountainous areas even though it has a mandate to fill them and no profit motive. At some point, if people are not willing to relocate to the middle of nowhere, they just aren't gonna.
So that's strike 1.
AAAH I see the problem, you are arguing with your imaginary friend who is some insane neocon, and not someone with a basic grasp of liberal economics who defended the concept that richer people should pay more taxes than poorer people with an economically sound argument.
Gotcha. Say hi for me.
Right.
Infrastructure needs no maintenance, logistics aren't real, people don't spend their time and energy to make the things you consume!
Food materializes out of nowhere, no labour is involved in maintaining power plants, roads, bridges, hospitals, all the things that apparently come for fucking free.
And certainly not through paying fucking taxes.
I am not allowed to use words that better describe you on this site, so I will use what I can: American lefty in spirit.
Arrogant, self assured, catastrophically wrong, and you will never need to pay the price because you are surrounded, undeservedly, by people who know better and will prevent your cancerous ideas from being implemented.
Better lucky than smart.
Have fun paying YOUR tax bill, dipshit. You went so far off the path just to try and be ideologically superior it's hilarious. Typical Italian attitude, though. Not surprised whatsoever.
