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.

My parents think it's immoral to kill someone, even if they're indirectly murdering thousands of people. Can't agree on everything, I guess...

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 1 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

So your parents if given the chance would not have killed Hitler?

Ask your parents why they support Hitler next time.

[–] LostXOR@fedia.io 5 points 2 weeks ago

I did bring killing Hitler up, and they said that's justified because things are different in times of war. Didn't really feel like arguing with them any more than that lol.

[–] TranquilTurbulence@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

There should be some sort of justice system for deciding these matters.

If we allow people to kill when they think it’s justified, we’re going to have pure chaos in our hands. If you want to watch the world burn, this is how you do it.

[–] Windex007@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The world is burning. Now. With the justice systems you're alluding to.

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

People literally voted for the people who dismantled it. People voted for the same type of person to be president as the asshole that got murdered.

Mob rule will only lead you in one direction; making the Redneckistan name more than just appropriate. But whatever. Fall into chaos and end up like the middle East. I don't care anymore. Let the world burn. Better fast than the slow climate cooking that you morons in the US doomed the world into.

[–] Windex007@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I'm not from the US

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Well as long as these people exist, we cannot have a just system for deciding these matters as they wield too much influence and power.

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The US literally voted those type of people in, including in the role of the president - again. They want this system, and they got it. What you are asking for is mob rule like in the middle east.

BoTh SiDeS... Jfc, you're about as bad as Russia man.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Jfc yourself.

Who the fuck is stupid enough to believe this issue only started 8 years ago? The US was founded for the wealthy and the legal system has reflected that since day one.

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 1 points 2 weeks ago

No one said that, I in fact even specifically mentioned that it isn't just about the president. Redneckistans have a tradition to vote for the wrong people for a long time. What you're doing though is equating both sides to be same, which is just Russian propaganda bullshit aimed to destabilize the country (or rather countries, since they push this narrative everywhere). Whatever. Put your money where your mouth is and go and murder some guy you don't like with your mob mentality in your own country instead of being a Russian tool by instigating others.

At least until the war is over.

Many African countries are already implementing this system, and with great success, you could argue. Well… as far as the amount is bloodshed and bodycount are concerned. I mean, if someone thought of killing another person, it must have been for a valid reason, right? Obviously, the evil ones are the first to go in a situation like that.
