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.

Define "survive"
Humans are incredibly resilient but at the same time yes, more of them will end up homeless and some will likely die before they would otherwise have.
That being said most people won't care, because the ones that will end up in the worst situations are the ones without family or friends to even be aware it's happening.
This didn't just start, seniors trying to live on Social Security is why they are the fastest growing segment of the homeless population. And if you're unaware, Biden had continued Social Security and Medicare privatization plans that Trump had put into effect. Fucking over the elderly and the population in general is bipartisan.
Rich ones will
I guess I really struggle to give two shits at this point. Not to dismiss or minimize your struggles if this is going to directly affect you, I do feel some level of empathy but overall, I just don't care anymore.
We're just going to have to see where the chips fall but I mean 72 million people and 15 million others that include Democrats and progressives decided that this is the course that America should take and take it America should.
Sucks but this is what America will deserve and there's not much you'll be able to do about it other than hope you and others like you have a local community to fall back on.
That's the realist view, agree. It is hitting to suck for many, many people but they made their own bed.
I'm young and know many "old" people who are trumpers so honestly, fuck em. yes, I'm mad "my team lost" so I'm gonna be overly dramatic and wish death upon the elderly.
.......you uh......you gonna throw an /s in there?
I dunno, remind me, how many were caught up in the purposefully sandbagged and ineptly mismanaged Global Viral Pandemic response? Were there outsized numbers of the disabled and elderly caught on the wrong side of Trump's incoherent actions? It was worse than anyone could have predicted it could be, we thought American democratic guardrails in the security space would manage the moron, and they couldn't
Trump is an elderly, and he isn't
Well they didn't do great under Cuomo, that's for sure
The GOP doesn't care about old people or disabled people because they don't have jobs so they don't matter. Eliminating the "weak ones" is their goal.
