No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!

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.

Yes. Same as when Hilary Clinton ran. It was Hilary, not Clinton.
Just social disrespect for women.
I hear female supporters refer to her as Kamala. I think it might have more to do with the uniqueness of the name. I don't know of anyone who referred to Sarah Palin as Sarah.
There have been 0 presidents named Harris. Who else is running with the name Harris? What is more unique about Kamala than Harris?
Saying ~~Kalama~~ Kamala is unique is just saying, "Wow, look, a Black person. How exotic!"
Harris is a common name for Americans. Sarah is too. Her name isn't Kalama. The error shows how exotic it is to you and your autocorrect.
I hear her mom calls her Kamala. Doesn't mean most people should, unless she specifically says for people to call her Kamala instead of Harris.
H. Clinton actually used "Hillary!" in her campaign materials, plus sometimes she had to be distinguished from Bill. So she was a special case. I agree with you about Harris and I noticed that myself and wondered about it. I don't remember it happening with Warren, Gabbard, Haley, Palin, or other female Presidential or VP contenders that I can think of offhand.
For Hillary it made sense since her husband was already widely known as Clinton.
We didn't refer to the 43rd president as George since his father with the same last name was already the 41st president.
People did not get confused which Clinton was running in 2016.
No, we called him George W., Junior, or Dub'ya. You can't call him George because his dad was also George.
Edit: I mean, you can call him George, or Bush. You can call him whatever you want. But people in general called him the names I gave, to avoid confusion.
We call people what they put on their signs.
Bernie.
How did you refer to Hillary Clinton before you saw a campaign slogan?
Full name, since public perception at the time associated the name "Clinton" with Bill.
