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.

I think we should have a border that is as uncrossable as possible everywhere except the door, and at the door they just check your paperwork or help you get it if you don't have it.
"alright can I get your papers? oh you don't have them? alright go talk to ted he'll get you sorted, as long as your not a criminal you'll be an American within the day."
as a little aside, my preference would also be to offer basically a "starter kit" for refugees and the like where you get a free apartment for like a year, assistance with stuff like food and medical costs, and your choice of a government job (DMV and such) or assistance in aquiring some other job. maybe even offer a few different locations you could choose to be moved to to start out.
That would cost an insane amount of money and be wildly politically unpopular (why do immigrants get so much help before paying a single dollar in taxes when American citizens are struggling?).
And what's the point in blocking the entire border if anyone can become "an American within the day"?
I talking about my Ideal way of doing it, so presumably other stuff is also idealized in that scenario. the point of blocking everything but the door is not to keep people out, its to make them enter legally so we have the necessary stuff set up for them to be a citizen as fast as possible.
