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.

There's some clear clues on which venues are happy ending parlors.
Avoid places with completely curtained windows. At least the lobby area should be visible to the public.
Seek out places that refer to "massage therapists". Avoid "masseuse" or "massage parlor".
The "crystal healing" "sound bath" hippy dippy places might try to sell you mushrooms but they are less likely to grab your dick.
Avoid cash only places, they are trying to hide paper trails. Even if you're paying out of pocket, any place that accepts insurance isn't offering a "secret menu" .
Low stated prices might mean they get by on big handy-based tips. They're cheap for a reason. Medium priced places are just charging for normal services.
Check what kind of person is in their online reviews. If it's a middle aged man talking about how beautiful the "girls" are, skip. If it's a Karen complaining about how they used CBD oil, it's probably fine.
Strip malls in general seem to attract this business niche, too. I'm not sure why.
If you're normally comfortable getting a massage naked, consider keeping your underwear on for your first visit with a new practitioner.
Woah, thanks for the tip on where to buy mushrooms
I actually prefer chair massages. especially hand and face. I find the legs are the least relaxing part anyway. although feet are nice. granted lower back can get close to the but and that often is nice.
