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.

Thxs I try to teach real economics when I can because people can't learn this in universities or anything.
i can only think of 'folkhögskolor', a nordic phenomena where formerly peasants and now workers since a hundred years raise eachother to learn what gymnasiums and universities don't and at no cost.
i appreciate you being online bringing knowledge around. got any recommended reading for economy, or a blog where you post more?
Ooh, that's fascinating, how could we implement those elsewhere, eg in the rest of Europe?
these began without allowance from state. originally barns on 'bondgårdar' were dedicated to this purpose seasonally by 'bönder', so there was direct source of food and space given on "private property". these days all 'folkhögskolor' have long-courses
spanning a year (august to june) with some for permaculture and other agrarian purposes starting in january
and short-courses, spanning a week. these days most 'folkhögskolor' act as hostels and conference halls too in addition to gymnasiums for teens who y'know hate being in state gymnasium. (edit: the oldest students i've met are retired 60 year olds. no age restriction on folkhögskolor.) sympathic way forward, my life would've been better had i gone this route sooner than later.
i would suggest finding private property owners who can provide a kitchen, showers and space to house people (bunkbeds can be a start before finding everyone a separate room.) maybe you who read this are one such private property owner? /rhetorical question
i would also suggest finding 'studieförbund' like ABF, NBV, IOGT-NTO etc. equivalents for funding and mostly as these are a short-cut through paperwork to legitimize the endeavour as an education with legal right to endow grades and certifications. like reading up school grades, becoming a certified plumber, et al.
regardless of if these two are known to you or anyone today i strongly recommend everyone to just travel here on a study visa ASAP. our government hates 'folkhögskolor' and are aggressively defunding these. it's also more and more real-life hidden lore to know of 'folkhögskolor'. how our entire wellfare comes from educating the marginalized in society at 'folkhögskolor'. we have 155 still right now, something like one in every city. most are never full because people don't know they exist these days: so you and anyone have good chances to get in. on the one i am at right now i met with an english citizen, a german citizen, an austrian citizen, an irish citizen and many refugees from war-torn countries coming here to learn swedish. think of this as a boarding school with cheap prices and no barriers to entry. everyone wants you to succeed here.
i would be glad to keep talking of this, compiling & translating & sharing hard-to-discover knowledge on a sub dedicated to 'folkhögskolor' and in direct messages- whether here on the FediVerse or 1-on-1 over chatmail (an E2EE email evolution. see the free libre open source DeltaChat & it's twin project ArcaneChat.)

Thank you, that is very kind of you. I love that word. That is a very cynical take from me and I should probably be a bit more fair, but it's not that far off from the truth.
The people who run these scams don't necessarily realize they are doing it. They do to some extent, but even billionaires believe in capitalism in that kind of way.
I thought about writing little essays or making YouTube videos to kind of share what I consider to be lost knowledge and lost sciences. I should probably do that some day. Like actually write it out in more theoretical ways in a more compiled form.
i've been meaning to report on the state of nordic countries alot more. now i did a bit
i encourage you to compose some and share some!
