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.

Guys planning a quick and carefully planned get away, so most likely traveling light with only what he needs. But yeah, of course he'll bring two bags.
He's shown a high degree of planning so far. Bringing a decoy bag and being casual in front of CCTV in not-his-clothes seems on the money at the moment. As soon as I heard he made a beeline for central park I bet he has a change of outfit and strolled out looking totally different. Sure enough they've found a bag in the park they think was his. He's 2 to 3 steps ahead of them..
Why would he have two similar but different heavy jackets? 4D chess?
We should know within a day because if flirty Starbucks guy isn't him then that person will almost certainly come forward to get removed from investigation.
Why? Seems safer to just keep your head down. He didn't do anything, why should he let the cops try to pin it on him?
A bunch of comments on here and Reddit about how police will do everything they can to make sure he's seen as a threat during arrest and kill him? I don't think that's the case, but if this guy has nothing to do with it and felt the same it would be much safer to just walk into a police station and get ruled out of the investigation. Better that than risk a cop spotting him one day and thinking himself a hero.
If happy dude isn't the CEO clean up guy, walking into a police station would be the best to way to ensure he gets the CEOs death pinned on him or worse. Happy dude would be best hiring a lawyer and following their advice.
Assuming he was elsewhere on CCTV at the time of the shooting (work, university, cafe) he should be ok.
Something I've learned in life is that should be and is are not the same thing. You're right, that he should be okay, but the cops are going to want to stick this to someone. It's way too high profile for them to let it go. If happy dude isn't their guy and walks in the front door, the cops would make him their guy.
Facts. Dudes best bet is a lawyer and to lay low.
If that was me, there's no way I'm walking into a police station on my own.
Happens more than we'd like to believe. The mans dad wasn't actually even dead in the case linked below. The policy will continue to make these mistakes until the consequences of their failures comes directly out of their pay.
