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.

Being German is genetics, like being black.
Not even new-yorkes? Then they are not really that stand offish, aren't they?
But is is okay to judge people by the color of their flag?
You're tripping dawg. Your argument is weak, which is why you're trying so hard to twist people's words into something they're not.
Culture is a set of norms, attitudes and behaviors. It's not racist to predict behavior based on whether said people self-identity themselves as members of those cultures. It's not a difficult concept to grasp, so stop intentionally misinterpreting what people are saying. What you're doing at this point is trolling, and you know it.
A whole bunch of assumptions with nothing to back it up, like a true racist.
Bad faith replays to bad faith replays seems fair to me.
You are arguing points I didn't make so how am I supposed to take this serious?
Like "It's not racist to predict behavior based on whether said people self-identity themselves as members of those cultures."
What the fuck are you rambling on about? :D
My point was that it feels racist to take a group/race/nationality/gender/sex/whatever and then say that those people in that group act all the same.
That is the mechanism of racism so it feels racist. And then one person said that it is not racist at all because it is not about race, it is about culture.
As if the mechanism and result differ because its another group :D
And then it turns out that it is called "cultural racism" because it is sooooo different from racism xD
I also said that racism can come from a "positive" place. Like the Asian example. Which is still bad and racist. Some Asians aren't good at math and their hate that people expect it from them.
Those were my arguments. The second Post in this comment chain and no one following was capable of engaging with that. Instead theiy did what you are acusing me of right now^^
It's a clownshow, I treat it as such.
