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.

Oof, I was not going to share my thoughts on this but: my first thought when I saw the smiling footage was that it had to be a cute psychopath, I don't think most people could smile while they planned to kill anyone, and I was glad that if he was a weapon at least he was aimed correctly. I wouldn't say my impression has changed.

My gay coworker said, and I quote "ooh, hello handsome!"

Nobody I've talked to has been able to dredge up any sympathy for the victim, like literally nobody of any class or inclination. All feel he killed for profit, live by the sword, die by the sword. That is separate from any feelings about the killer or vigilante justice in general.

I don't think most people could smile while they planned to kill anyone

That's ridiculous. Plenty of people smile while bringing a live turkey back home from a farmer's market the day before Thanksgiving.

Anyone can become okay with killing if they're trained to see the target as undeserving of life. Sometimes it's because they see the target as less than human. Sometimes it's because they see the target as evil. But anyone can smile while taking a life if they think they have a good reason.

I've never heard of anyone getting a live turkey in the US. Where do you live where people do that?

THANKSGIVING LIVE TURKEY (PICK UP ONLY)

COME AND PICK UP YOUR OWN THANKSGIVING TURKEY AT OUR HATCHERY. THIS IS FOR A MALE HERITAGE BREED OF TURKEY SUCH AS THE BOURBON RED TURKEYS. If you have not had one of those turkeys in the past, you are in for a treat. These are nothing like the store-bought turkeys. These turkeys are slow growing and taste so much better than any store bought turkey.

Guess it happens less often in the city these days. Drag thought everyone knew about it.
