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.

I'm talking about like subtitles...

So my mom want me to "do something" to fix my depression... so I say okay let's see a movie then...

But she sucks at English comprehension and my dad barely understand a word...

We're in the US... (Philly area)

They need Chinese subtitles...

So this is just a situation that you can't fix? Shit outta luck?

I watch stuff in languages I barely understand and can at least somewhat enjoy it.

In Japan, many films get Japanese subtitles, but the US is less into that. (A lot of films also get dubbed which can delay releases for like 6+ months, if they even release in theatres at all, but that's another story).

A lot of films also get dubbed

Dubbing is a crime against art.

I agree most of the time, but there is at least one notable exception.

MXC

What's up Tiger Lily

even Airplane! in a way (although also reshot, not just dubbed)

Etc.

Yes, technically these are dubbed, but it's really an entirely new piece of art. I think Shin Chan sits right at the edge.

there are some really good dubs though..

Why Germans put up with that stilted, terribly acted dialogue is beyond me.
