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.

MODERATORS
 

What are the opinions you've heard from people you've met in real life? I know the internet seems to have consensus, but the internet is not always representative of the real world.

What are the opinions of Luigi in your:

Family? Relatives? Friends? Coworkers/Classmates? People in your area?


I don't really want to discuss this IRL since I'm a bit paranoid of mass surveillance and getting my voice recorded saying anything anti-establishment could put a target on my back, especially with the incoming US administration, so I'd rather not. (I know, I'm paranoid)

(Edit: Also, I don't want a future employer somehow getting a recording of me glorifying a CEO's death)

The only people IRL I've heard from are my parents who basically read propaganda from Wechat that just portrays Luigi as some crazy person, but, then again, my parents are also Pro-CCP idiots and hates Democrats for the "migrant crisis", so that seems to be a trend for their beliefs: just parotting what Wechat says.

If you look at it at the individual level, of course it's a tragedy.

At the systematic level though, big change historically almost always includes death, and at the end people everywhere celebrate the successful revolution with very little thought to those sacrificed to get it.

I'm coming off of two years (and change) of daily, debilitating pain. I'm just now starting to get used to moving around on the regular again, and trying to get back into a shape that isn't "round." As a consequence of this, I also don't have a job. During those two years, I spent more than seven months collecting doctor's reports and paperwork to get coverage for the medications prescribed... In Canada! The stuff that was covered here would have absolutely bankrupted me in the US. (Yes, I got declined.)

No comment.

You are a victim of a psyop but you also ain't wrong. They don't want people talking freely about topics like this. Critical thinking will expose the PT tricks for what they are.

Plebs not talking is what the want. Consume this new slop peasants!

Daddy knows best.

Oh I definitely will talk, but just not in a workplace or in university, or in a coffeeshop with people walking by.

I haven't talked about it very much with people off line, but when I have no one has had anything sympathetic to say about the victim or unsympathetic to say about the alleged assassin. The women I've discussed the case with agree that this Luigi guy is handsome. Idk fellas, I hate to do him like this, but we might be better off if he stays locked up.

So you are assuming that Luigi is the Adjuster or are you trusting the current media blitz?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 week ago

Lol I don't know what you mean by "the Adjuster" and the main-est-stream news media I regularly listen to is Democracy Now!, so I didn't know that a narrative is being blitzed. I've read some posts suggesting that it's all a plot to cover up insider trading, but that idea seems a little too complicated and unlikely.

The internet is real, silly. These electrons are just as real as the atoms that the physical world is made of.

[–] Famko 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well, yeah, obviously, it's just that the general opinion of certain things may differ between internet spaces and the outside world.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 week ago

Sure, but there's no need to go calling the internet fictional or mythical or a hoax in order to make that point. Internet's real.
