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.

it's like you believe you can tariff them expecting they won't do the same. Why do you believe the rest of the world is not going to retaliate and why do you believe America can prosper without the rest of the world?

What's the point of having a military alliance with countries you puts tariffs on? That's unfriendly to say the least.

Of course, the US government has a stronger propaganda platform in the US than Russia has in the US.

There's nothing "of course" about this statement. All evidence points to Russia having a better handle on the US population's opinion than the US.

So, as I've asked several times now, what is your solution to this situation?

I'm not here to generate solutions, no idea why you keep asking for one. The US has a unique issue with propaganda because of the first amendment, there's no easy solution other than people smartening up and social media companies taking more responsibility for their content via fact checkers etc.

Then your political position is worthless on it's face.

You can point out an issue without pretending to have a solution. Do you read the retarded shit you type?

Yeah, if your goal is just to wallow in misery and jack off about how right you (think you) are.

Most conversations are about the how and why of a subject. Most of the work towards figuring out proper solutions is accurately identifying what's wrong in the first place, which you won't be able to do by larping as a revolutionary in your basement when you can't even figure out what to do when it comes to Ukraine. Nobody is waiting for your delusional dogshit "solutions". Newsflash, "just eat the rich" as advice for Kamala when brainlet voters preferred a claque of billionaires is some of the most retarded shit I've heard. Get a clue.
