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.

"Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.” -- G. Michael Hopf
If I am left wing and the body-left moves left then I am right wing. Extreme Left wing circles around to become extreme right and then moderate.
They call it history. You spell it P-R-O-P-A-G-A-N-D-A, and the most well read of you think that it's a small country in east central Africa.
This best part of that quote, is that it's the conservatives and the right-wing that are the weak men.
Weakness in that context is not about being physically strong or working hard. Its weakness that has allowed the owner class to siphon money from the workers for decades. That's the weakness.
The blue color men from several generations ago were strong. They put in place worker protections, they gave us the minimum wage, they made it so single income could support a family. They fought, and sometimes died, for the worker.
And this made soft little boomer and younger conservative babies, who in their softness thought that they were special and hard-working, and that collective action wasn't needed. They allowed Union protections to be stripped away because they, in their individualism, thought they didn't need it.
And now we've realized that we need to be strong again, and fight again, to make up for what those weak ass babies lost us.
And we're bitter about it.
precisely. the quote isnt necessarily wrong, but it always gets bandied around by people that cant differentiate between having a backbone and having (somebody elses) stick up their ass
I fixed it for you:
Nah. Those are not my words. It's a quotation. You may not have experienced those in your long life.
Did you actually read the list of contradictory statements you've written.
Bless.
