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.

Yes its horrible.
But the alternative is to starve children...
In NYC free school lunch was a thing in public schools. I don't remember it being that bad. But I was used to Chinese food for the first 8 years of my life so that was a bit of a stuggle...
In Philly schools it wasn't free... and I obviously did not wanna bring food cuz... oh jeez imagine the racism... there are barely any East Asian looking kids in the elementary school... so I sort of just starved...
I thought it was free since that's what I was used to in NYC... and my parents never asked either since we just assume it was the same
So you can imagine the awkwardness...
Back then my parents didn't have the wealth they had today...
And like its not like I'd feel like asking for money either... its shitty and I would've hated it anyways...
Then later became free I think? Can't remember.
Just googled it, apparantly they made it free in the fall of 2014... just a few months after we moved to Philly...
Anyways, Philly school lunch is horrible. I remember it worse than NYC.
POVERTY
Lol are you from a middle class or rich family?
When I was in China (for 1st and 2nd grade), we just went home for lunch...
then we walked back to school again...
5 flights of stairs to my apartment... ugh...
Imagine making a 6/7 year old walk those stairs down and up 2 times a day... no wonder why I never got fat in China lmfao...
There is school lunch but you pay like ¥5-¥10 rmb or something like that.
Sometimes my grandma wasn't home to cook stuff so my parents just give me money so I eat lunch at school. They just cooked rice and stuff like just normal Chinese food.
Its kinda quiet at noon... like most kids went home for that hour or so for lunch... it'd be weird to walk around the empty school.
It's technically a "private" school but its only because we weren't allowed in the public school for legal reasons (issues with Hukou), its worse than public school.
Also like I never seen anyone bring a lunch in the US schools I've been to. Maybe because everyone here is from working class families, I think those comments here thats say they do bring lunches are from white suburbs or something.
