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.

Because I want material benefits to Palestine?

Because you're a genocide denier who abuses and attacks and lies about anyone who disagrees with you, including stalking me across multiple different instances slandering me.

You are being a bad ally by stifling political support Palestine could have (and needs)

And thats why we could never be allies: because you respond to disagreement by engaging in active slander and lies against me.

No one is denying anything. You are pretending people are.

No one is denying anything. You are pretending people are.

You have repeatedly denied that the Democrats were engaging in genocide.

See @WhatsTheHoldup? These are the kind of people I oppose.

Screenshot where I say it is not happening.

We cannot because you are not serious about solutions. Please state what your position and policy proposals would be for clarity.

Neither are you, you just deny the genocide and attack people for disagreeing.

Please state what your position and policy proposals would be for clarity.

Do not engage in genocide denial and apologia, do not rewrite history to exonerate people who committed genocide. If your lesser evil position requires you to do that, it is not a viable position. That's been my sole proposition so far, and that's been so unacceptable that you've spent dozens of posts across multiple coms attacking me.

Bro your answer sucks so hard when you finally say it. War is brutal and you are going to need allies that show up. Check your privileging not being in a city under siege. Your answer is "I wont do anything and watch more Palestinians die because it discomforts me". That is a complete non answer and why you are a bad ally. Because you do not show up (and you are trying to discourage those that would).

Seriously. Check your privilege. Being well fed and warm. Of course you can afford to wait.

I take it back. You are not a troll. That is too good for you. You are just pro genocide.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 hours ago

What a shock that stating my position would result in you ignoring it and then making up a strawman. Just like you did last time I stated it.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Bro your answer sucks so hard when you finally say it.

"Don't do genocide denial" apaprentl "sucks", according to the genocide denier.

Your answer is “I wont do anything and watch more Palestinians die because it discomforts me”.

So once again, you didn't bother to read my post and are once again just making blatent straw-men because you cant accept disagreement.

That is a complete non answer and why you are a bad ally.

Good thing I didn't say it then, you just made it up because you can't accept disagreement.

I take it back. You are not a troll. That is too good for you. You are just pro genocide.

Again, that's you.

So why do you want to watch genocide happen? You "plan" is literally to do nothing and watch it happen.

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

So where in those screenshots do I say there is no genocide? Because I am saying there is and we need serious steps to stop it. Speaking about being serious; what is your real plan?

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 0 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

The bit were you denied that the Democrats were committing genocide.

Speaking about being serious; what is your real plan?

What's yours? Supporting the people doing the genocide certainly isn't a real plan.

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 0 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Supporting the people doing the genocide certainly isn’t a real plan.

Supporting the place we have the most influence for a positive outcome.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Supporting the people doing the genocide isn't a real plan, no matter how much you deny that they are doing genocide.

[–] InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

So elaborate on your point. How does this have any material impact on the war? Other than helping Israel finish their genocide that is.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 0 points 5 hours ago

Other than helping Israel finish their genocide that is.

Refusing to engage in genocide denial does not do this.
