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.

Common sense? She’s as intelligent as your average bartender, which is what she was when she was picked by the DNC to be pushed up the flagpole.
She’s as dumb as a doornail. She routinely makes a fool of herself when she’s asking people questions, sorting she doesn’t have the faintest clue what she’s talking about.
Yeah, people that had to work during/after university are inherently idiots, and everyone knows that bartenders are morons that should never aspire to anything greater than cracking beers and making cocktails for actual smart people. /S
She obviously doesn't know anything about governing. A degree in international relations and economics is totally useless to governing. And why would she have bothered with an internship with Senator Ted Kennedy when she was going into the House of Representatives‽ Total idiot
If you think everyone that has degrees is intelligent you clearly haven’t spent much time with many people who have degrees.
Not to mention that degrees in international relations and economics are fluff degrees. May as well be an arts degree.
I bet the Republican politicians you think are idiots have degrees.
Fair enough, though her degree does counter the "just a bartender" narrative
Many bartenders have degrees, usually useless ones like AOCs.
Asking questions when you don't know a thing (AOC) is smarter than pretending you know the thing (the vast majority of old congresspeople, especially in the GOP).
She’s not asking questions to learn though, she’s asking questions to try and catch people doing the wrong thing in these sessions. She then frequently gets made to look like an idiot because she’s trying to ask “gotcha” questions without realising that her questions make no sense and/or are based on her incorrect understanding.
Didn't she defeat the Democratic incumbent to get on the ballot for her seat? Oh that's right, she defeated the Democratic caucus chair, so hardly "picked by the DNC".
You're just wrong, she's quite intelligent and if you can't see that you have something else going on.

This was literally the first result for “AOC dumb quotes”. There are hundreds of other results.
She has repeatedly shown she is not an intelligent person. Most politicians aren’t. She was chosen by a Democrat PAC as a candidate to be pushed, she wasn’t an up and coming politician who got there on the back of her hard work and intelligence.
Well i fully agree with her on like 22 of those and about 3 are forgiveable slips, but i guess if im a liberal it's because I'm stupid
If you fully agree with her on any of those then yeh it probably is.
“… average bartender…” ?
I’m massively intrigued that you believe this construct exists. Where do you socialise; and are outsiders welcome? I’d like to meet a default bar tender, just to see what they’re like.
Where is your average bartender a dumb useless-degree-having woman who thinks she’s super intelligent? Try any bar around a university in any city.
Wahmen, hey? Shrug emoji. Eye roll emoji.
Bartending is, like, really hard. Average bartender must be on the upper end of the bell.
Making drinks is fairly easy, dealing with customers is the difficult bit…
I assume you live somewhere where all further/university education, accommodation and sustenance is provided freely by the state. Lucky you.
Most of the places I’ve lived you have to pay real actual money to further your formal education and if mommy and daddy can’t financially help their brave little soldier than that brave little soldier would need to get a job. Maybe something in the evening; or the weekend. So it don’t interfere with class time…
I genuinely don't know what point you're trying to rebut here.
That’s ok.
