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.

Well the facts don't look good, what is a peasant supposed to do?

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Shoot yourself?

I gotta keep it real with you chief, I think about it quite a bit.

[–] sunzu@kbin.run 1 points 3 months ago

I lack the constitution for that also that's what regime would want you to do anyway...

why give them the pleasure when you can impose costs on them for their misconduct.

[–] EABOD25@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Hope your descendants have it better

[–] sunzu@kbin.run 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Hoping for something like that without taking direction action today is naive.

Direct action won't fix shit unless critical mass does it, so also got to spread the word about the fuckening we are enduring, most people are really not aware of the conditions on the ground beyond their personal experiences.

[–] EABOD25@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

And what direct action would you propose?

[–] sunzu@kbin.run 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)
  1. Vote with your money, esp with mega corps
  2. Don't suck some political or business daddies' dick for free, these people are your enemies, treat them as such
  3. Ask for raises every year, switch jobs as needed to keep market rate pay
  4. Consume less
  5. Don't engage in political circle jerks
  6. Don't dunk on the poors
  7. Freedom is privacy and security, physical and digital
  8. Educate people around you about these things.

  1. is ironic because that's exactly how mega corps vote
  2. Peasants (as you said) wouldn't be able to get their break without
  3. that's a needed. 100% agree
  4. what about people who are already consuming the bare minimum? What are they supposed to do?
  5. 100% agree
  6. 100% agree
  7. wrong. That's a privilege. Privileges can be taken away. Freedom is the ability to retard and expect repercussions or advance humanity in a civilized manner. What you are referring to is anarchy, and anarchy doesn't have to be bad. It puts the power in the individual with no government influence. However anarchy relies strictly on human nature and dependency
  8. 100%

Peasants (as you said) wouldn't be able to get their break without

How are they getting a break now?

As for 7, we are talking direct action? i am not following this response.

what about people who are already consuming the bare minimum? What are they supposed to do?

there is always room to improve consumption patterns... low hanging fruit is high processed foods. this can be driven two zero without any serious consequences. that's more of my point here.

You can't stop eating tho, no doubt, but you can chose what you eat.

[–] EABOD25@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, but we're talking about the possibility of a utopian society. It's completely theoretical at this point. You are talking about the logical here and now. What do you want for people in the future?

[–] sunzu@kbin.run 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] EABOD25@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

And what I said isn't the same?

[–] sunzu@kbin.run 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

i think we disconnected somewhere. but yeah the idea of direct action is to leader by example until critical mass is hit which would finally yield better QoL

just got to make sure direct action is actually fighting the right enemy, currently working people are fighting each other mostly.
