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.

MODERATORS
They tend to in more conservative circles, yeah.
People online are actually "real" people as well (assuming they are not bots) so yeah, at least some subset care. Do I care personally? Not in the slightest.
There's definitely people that care. Should people care? My opinion is no. I don't care. Do what you want as long as everyone involved is of age and consenting.
Do I care? No
Do I love listening to my friends gossip? Yes
No. At the very most someone might say it, but that's about the end of it. Unless someone is jealous, I can't see why anyone would hold it against either of them.
Young and immature people. Once you realize what you need in your life to be happy, and what in another person compliments, it doesn't matter whatsoever.
Some vain or narcissistic people stuck in arrested development never figure that out. Usually divorced a number of times.
Real people are more worried about whether to clean the litter box now or later than about who’s dating whom.
Bunch of "idc" tossed around this thread but i feel like that is natural for anonymous thread pf anonymous people and the difficulty applying the question to real life.
Yes, but not so much that I care about either person's wellbeing or the quality of their character. Relationship characteristics are simply very telling information for how a person operates. It can put information upfront for all to see without the people really knowing it. Things like what they value, what they have patience for or lack, good insight as to their goals for life.
And im not saying any of this comes from a pass on the sidewalk. The info that is valuable comes from listening to what the person has to say, either on social media or asking them how the family/life is going. So my opinion isnt about caring who fucks who but when it comes to co-workers, superiors, individuals you are paying to provide service (as in financial advisor, consultant, real estate agent, etc.) and anyone else who affects your wellbeing and are also close enough proxy to hear about who their dating - those are the people I observe.
A person can tell you that they are lying by the movement of their pupil. So how they navigate thru dating and relationships can be an encylopedia of information if you want it to be.
Nope
Usually not, but like in Parks and Rec it would be like Jerry and his wife sometimes.
No
I can only say how I would feel. I'm not sure about anyone else, but for me I'd just see them and say "lucky motherfucker..." Lol
For me though I absolutely have this idea of a "league." I'm the poor guy, the ugly guy, for myself the vast majority of women aren't just out of my league, they're playing a totally different game lol my 10 years on dating sites corroborates that theory.
It doesn't work the other way, because women very rarely have any desire to exploit men for sex. There also isn't an element of paternalism, where the man can be a controlling influence over a woman's life and choices. I would just assume he's nice to her, so they have fun together.
