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.

Lol I didn't "flee", my parents have a relative in the US that filed a petition for family based immigration. One of the major reasons was because of economic issues which was exacerbated by the Hukou system, which means My parents and I were essentially treated like immigrants within our own country. We were from a rural village, and even though my parents were able to save up for an apartment in the city and got a job, they still weren't considered an actual resident. No free public school for kids, no any sort of benefits from the city. They had to pay for me to go to a private school which had worse education than the public ones (even though the "patriotic education" element of it was essentially on the same intensity). So when I was around age 7 and second grade in China, the immigration petition got approved and we got immigration visas, family of four, Father, Mother, Older Brother, and me. Oh did I mention I was the second born during the One-Child Policy, yea my parents bribed a government official to turn a blind eye about her second pregnancy. She eventually had to be sterilized after my birth so the government can ensure she doesn't give birth to a third child.
So anyways, after a connection flight in Seoul, we arrived in JFK Airport. So here we are, in the US, and got naturalized a little more than 5 years after arrival.
Did you know how long the visa petition wait list was? More than 13 years! That's longer than the time I've been here! (I've been here about 12 years approaching 13 years.) The immigration petition was filed before I was even born!
This sounds really messed up, among everything
Yeah China and India got some very long backlog because of the 7% per country policy
On the bright side, I'm still alive. I guess killing someone that has already been born is harder to justify than killing me while I was still a fetus.
But you know what the worst thing was? She STILL BELIEVES IN CCP PROPAGANDA! So does my dad. I'm like y'all have no hope. Too far gone. Everytime they paise the CCP I'm just like "Oh so you think they should've killed me?". At least now whenever someone spews CCP propaganda, I'll just say "You know, the CCP tried to kill me..."
Well, that means CCP propoganda works as intended...
