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.

Singapore? You ever been there? There's a saying, "Singapore is a fine city, you get fined for this, you get fined for that. "
They have a 6 day work week.
When I was there a guy made a mistake and left the back of the dump truck up and drove into a bridge causing some damage and traffic jam. They put his face on the cover of the newspaper with a title that said, "This man backed up traffic for hours!"
My mother had a friend there. Her camera was stolen so she went to the police. They kept her there for hours until she admitted she lost her camera, so it would look like there was less crime there.
Efficient? Maybe. But no thanks.
And didn't France just outlaw women wearing hijabs to the beach?
We have homeless people littering the streets, a failed healthcare system with increasing infant mortality among other indicators, critical infrastructure failing...
But I guess we got freedom? But we do know that we aint got is any policy without any sensibleness of common sense, facts peak for themselves.
Do you live in the US? because this is what our pigs do:

I never said ANYTHING about the US in my post. I'm merely pointing out that Singapore may not be the best example to use as a counterpoint.
Singapore has proper socio economic policy with a bit of heavy handed handling of civil issues.
US has inadequate socio economic policy backed up by idiots with guns that result in frequent unwarranted shooting of citizens.
WORST OF BOTH WORLDS.
US could learn a thing or two from SG
Why do you keep talking about the US in response to me. I'm not arguing that. But saying that an apple is bad doesn't make an orange good.
That's an analogy. Oranges are awesome.
US it the topic of this discussion?
