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.

I respect that a lot and have somewhat similar beliefs. I follow Marcus Aurelius's beliefs on the morality of the divine: I will live a life striving for morality, thinking for myself, judging for myself, and struggling against the difficulty of putting beliefs into practice, and if the divine and I find ourselves in disharmony of right and wrong then it will have to convince me that I'm the one who's wrong.
I will note that I think a lot of people really miss the point of meat on Fridays. It's supposed to be a mild fast, and back in the day Catholics were supposed to fully fast on Fridays in lent. But yeah I feel like a lot of people get the rituals and morality mixed up. Yeah you're supposed to fast when you're supposed to fast, it should be an act of humility and self control, but the real sin isn't when you eat when you're not supposed to, but when you don't feed your neighbor when you are supposed to. The rituals and lesser rules are supposed to keep your mind focused on the parts of the religion that make you a better person.
I simply hope that the face divinity shows me in the end is that of my patron goddess. Not because I cannot explain my actions to other deities, even the Christian god, but because she's the aspect of divinity I most resonate with and understand.
