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.

Partially similar, but nowadays "woke" has much more of an edge, and seems to follow an agenda.
You mean treating people with respect and empathizing about their life situations? Shouldn't that just be normal?
With rational, well-adjusted, reasonable people, absolutely. With chest-puffing brainwashed conservatives, it is somehow a handicap.
They're trying justify making the selfish choice in the prisoner's dilemma and abusing the trust that is so useful to cooperative/polite society.
They also get annoyed if coperative society is rational enough to slap them with the reciprocity they deserve after being found out for being a twat.
But I think they rationally they do want a 2-tier society, where lots of people in one tier cooperate to build trust and wealth (generally using trust instead of lawyers), then their tier extorts that wealth. And they find ways to protect themselves from consequences (generally using lawyers).
I'm sure many of the brainwashed masses don't know which tier they're in though.
That does seem to be the thought process. Too bad the majority of them don’t realize they are on the bottom rung with (most of) the rest of us.
What's the agenda?
Oh I know this! When I was in middle school I had a weekly calendar that I had to fill out what I did for each class that day and write down future events like field trips etc. that was literally called our "agenda".
Hope this helped.
I think the idea is that someome wants to avoid being "cancelled" after they've been exposed for for abusing social trust and norms of behaviour - usually to their own benefit.
So they denigrate or attack anyone exposing their shitty behaviour or anything similar. If they can do this they can contine to be cunts to society and avoid being ostracised by it.
But once they can get away with it, one can systematically exploit social trust and norms repeatedly, and presumably grow the power and influnce of their subculture. Even at the cost of overall the weath of the encompassing society - it won't matter to the dicks so long as they can extort a bigger share of the smaller pie.
Polite society will unfortunately struggle to effectively ostracise the people who do this because they're (rightly) worried about due process, accountability, fairness, and miscarriages of justice.
No, "woke" is whatever fascists don't like. It's people falling for that narrative that enables them, just like you did here. Think for yourself, and always question the BS, and maybe you'll see through the narrative and how vile it is... And how vile fascists are.
I don't fall for fascists. No fear.
