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.

Obviously, the interviewer is implying about loyalty to the state ("state" as in country, not a US State) or to an administration, and I know that they are implying that. But I am not loyal to an administration. But I know that's what they actually meant.

How would the polygraph interpret it if I say "Yes", because I'm answering based on my interpretation of loyalty to the constitution, but deep down, I full well know the implied question the interviewer is asking.

If in the moment you're replying to your own interpretation, you're fine. But the second you overthink about their intentions, you will be freaking out, and that's what the machine sees. One technique for bypassing lie detectors is to raise the baseline by flexing your butthole but there's techniques to catch that, too.

How do they catch that? Digital rectal insertion?

There's a pad that you sit on that will register the flexing of muscles in the area.

[โ€“] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

And it's got a little probe that pops out and goes up your butthole?

[โ€“] GoodLuckToFriends@lemmy.today 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Remember that these things are basically ad-hoc devices that snake oil salesmen have convinced government agencies to buy into. The fact that your muscles near the buttocks move is enough for them to get the next level of the MLM, the interviewers, to be convinced that it can detect it.

Look, I just want someone to finger my ass while I lie. Is that really too much to ask?

[โ€“] GoodLuckToFriends@lemmy.today 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That just sounds like one step up from what most consider vanilla sex. "Oh baby, I love it, harder, harder!" is about as much of a lie as "I have never consumed one unit of marijuana, sir."

I don't quite think you understand me. I want to be an ally manipulated while hooked up to a polygraph test.
