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 you generally shouldn't make it super easy for people to harm themselves. They should be able to do so. But I believe it should require a mininum amount of effort.
Also you might be invested a bit. If you did 6h of surgery on them. Or wiped off their butt for a week, I suppose it might hurt to see that's been in vain, or at least made worse. I'm not a doctor or nurse and only worked briefly in healthcare. But I suppose it's the same as with other professions. I'm also offended if I put in quite some effort to get something right, strive for a perfect result. And then someone slaps on a badly-made and buggy UI... That's just taking pride in your work.
Plus with hospitals, there is liability, the hippocratic oath. And you probably learned that job because you're intrinsically motivated to help people. Not because you're interested in philosophy and freedom. And then trying to help will be more natural to you.
Plus, hospital staff is desensitized to a degree. They deal with a lot of people who are not sound. Mentally ill, are making a lot of bad decisions and that ended them up there, took drugs and are doing weird things, or the drugs they're getting as medication affects them. Nurses might just be desensitized by their everyday job once they face the one person that's talking about the same weird things, just for a sound reason. Because what you tend to see all day, every day is people trying to rip out the tubes directly attached to their arteries, wanting to smoke in urgent care, while being attached to the oxygen tank directly next to them. Every other week someone will try to just walk out with big open wounds... And you can't really have them blow up the hospital, or die at the bus stop infront of the hospital, regularly. It's just difficult to balance all of that.
