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.

I have notes!
That (depending on the country) all politicians continuously lie and that were sort of okay with that. We shouldn't, and at the very first lie they should be called out, hard, and three strikes, you're out
That we have political parties where everyone has to do what the party says. I'd rather have all independent politicians,, vote for those
That many democracies call themselves democracies yet they use the first past the post system and their politica have moved to the point where you wonder if it's still democracy
What companies have such a disproportionate amount of power. Companies should, in the end, exist for the people. The people should ALWAYS go before companies
That politicians can be in charge of something without having the slightest clue what that subject is. You should be an expert in the field to get a field. That also goes for IT, by the way. Fuck, so many politicians are so dumb and tech illiterate yet have to vote about tech.
That the rich still exist. Im fiine with capitalism, it works well to generate wealth which COULD be for everyone but people seem to be okay with the rich and ultra rich? I want to see hard cap limits on personal and company wealth. Anything, income, gifts, whatever, that goes over that limit goes 100% straight to taxes. Below that limit we need 10-20 more brackets, where the lowest incomes pay barely or no taxes at all as they likely can't. The highest will pay on the 90% range and the next bracket is 100.
That politicians (mostly US politicians though, it's a hobby there) can pass laws that are called "protect the children from pedophiles" while when you looked into the law, its "yeah, show us all your chats and the real pedophiles will find other ways to communicate anyways so this won't stop shit, law". Especially the US has a hand of this where almost any law these days has a pretty acronym like S.H.I.E.L.D. or something and in reality, for it's content, it should be names C.H.I.L.D.K.I.L.L.E.R.
That lobbyists are allowed to exist. Yeah, I get it, but no. I think that lobbyists are. Any negative for society as companies abuse the shit out of them. Maybe if companies aren't allowed to have lobbyists, and are limited in size and power, maybe we could allow lobbyists ONLY for foundations that support vulnerable groups or entities
Same for companies, but limit it to 1 billion or so and 1000 employees max. Need more employees for a mega project that requires multiple companies to work together. Instead of one trillion dollar company, I want a million million dollar companies
Then, we don't mix alcohol and wine and tequila, we all know it ends in shit yet somehow most people still think it's okay to mix religion into politics as if that's a great thing. Fuck religions. If you have one, sorry, but you're believing at the level of a 5 year old that Santa is real. Politicians should all be atheist as far as I'm concerned
