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 went back to school after a 8 year absence after I couldn't afford to continue school originally, and had to get a blue collar job. I competed 2 years at a university before leaving. But I ended up having to retake most of my courses I'd already completed up to that point as my community college didn't accept any of my credits after that time frame.
In all fairness, I probably would have struggled to get into the new stuff if I hadn't reviewed the old things and it made it easier to get back into the college mode since everything was familiar. The only part I'm really annoyed about is having to retake physics. I aced AP physics in high school, like vreezed right through it with nearly perfect grades and got a top score on the exam. But they didn't count the credit because it wasn't Calculus based. The difference between the Calc based and the non-calc based was negligible at best, the class was not relevant to my degree and they only offered it in the semester I had to take it in a city 1.5 hours away for a 5 hour lecture and lab twice a week. So I dedicated 16 hours a week and all of that gas money for two semesters just on this one ultimately useless class. I'm a bit salty about that one.
When I finished my associates and transferred to a state school for my last 2 years for my bachelor's, they ended up accepting nearly all of my original credits even though they were now redundant. However they didn't accept the credit from either school for my discrete mathematics course credits. So I ended taking that course for a third time. Yaaaay! Also. Guess what, they accepted my AP physics credit that my community college didn't. So I made that drive and spent all day on that class twice a week for no reason at all! Woo-hoo!
