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.

A good case study is the billionaire family that owns in n out. They pay staff fairly well and sell their product at fairly reasonable prices. And still they are billionaires. The point that no rich person will ever understand is that we can provide for society handsomely and they will STILL BE FUCKING RICH. they will still have more money than everyone else, and we will still work at the jobs we have now. There is no need for poverty to exist except for the fact that some people think it’s awesome and perpetuate it. Misery and destitution can be cut by like 85% but no, the ownership class enjoys watching it.
Another great example is Quik Trip, a convenience store chain. I could go on and on, but if you know you know. Nowhere else holds a candle to QT and the employees make lifelong careers from working there. No shit.
Did early Y2K updates for them in 98, because they were ahead of the curve. Had touch screen POS terminals, in 1998. Even had in-house IT who wrote their custom software. Imagine that! Some of the clerks told me their monthly bonus was often more than their paycheck.
You won't see someone being trained in the store. Hell no, that's a six-week class, because they invest in their people.
Went to a couple of stores in East KC. They didn't hire rent-a-cops, they paid actual cops to stand in the store. No fucking around.
Story goes that the owner said, "I got rich and it's payback time." Wildly successful outfit.
Anyway, I could have had a career with their IT but I let a chick I met online hang out with me at Harrah's Casino and Hotel. She ripped me off via room service and QT was stuck with the bill. Didn't even get laid. What a life.
Well that was a plot twist
I've had an interesting life.
But they could afford to buy beef from better sources. They could afford for their employees to have a career instead of a job. They could do that and still cost less than McDonalds. Yeah they’re alright compared to the big corporations but they are not improving the world - they are extracting profit from it.
