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.

And I guess the world around you could be burning and that's like, not a big deal.

Would you like me to be homeless or in the hospital from not being able to afford my medications? You seem pretty willing to sacrifice people like me at the altar.

I've been homeless. I've been unable to have medical treatment. How many root canals have you had at the dental school?

Do I want to go back to that? No. I just don't see another way.

I'll wait around until it hits you but the longer we wait. Enjoy every minute from this day forward cause you're losing on the other end.

I suppose I didn't properly convey my situation. Being homeless, going without my medications, means I will die. Its not a "sacrifice current comfort for the future" thing for me. If things truly go as bad as you're so sure they will, then it means I die anyway, so I'm not gonna just make it happen right away to satisfy a stranger on the internet that has a lot of opinions, but as far as I care, is doing just as much as the rest of us.

Lets be clear here, it's the current administration that doesn't care if you die on the streets. Plenty of homeless are out there today with no one checking in on their medical conditions.

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And? Whats your point? I should just accept it and go die right now?

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

My point? I'm not your enemy. I don't want you to be put out. I would support you as many others would. It's the only way. We are not your enemy. You can trust the people fighting for you and people like you.

I'm sorry, maybe I missed something, but are we doing that thing where we argue but we really agree with each other?

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I don't argue because I hate people and want to be malicious. I want to shake you a little and maybe get you out your comfort zone. I just want to plant seeds. Maybe fan the flame where I can. End of the day I want to love on people as misguided as that is.
