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.

A coworker told me:
That he was stupid for throwing his life away and that there were other ways of making change
That you couldnt just do that to someone. How would you feel if someone spent years plotting your murder. That they should give him the death penalty.
His reason for doing it was stupid because life isnt fair. That he (my coworker) had to pay 50k+ for the birth of their child and so on and so forth, so other people shouldnt complain
That people shouldnt expect the insurance to pay out so much because its unfair to them
Well he can do what he wants with his life. Also 99% of people cant and wont be able to make change on the scale that he has for public sentiment. It is also the only way to bargain with companies because of regulatory capture.
I dont have to worry about people trying to murder me because i dont screw people over and kill their loved ones by the thousands. Also murder isnt allowed because you cant just kill people so you kill him??? You arent even playing by your own rules. Also same dude who was in the military (discharged due to injury and never saw combat) and says hed shoot children in Afghanistan if he was ordered to when the topic came up about following orders
Immigrants like my parents act like everyone else should calm down and stop rocking the boat because theyre afraid of losing what they deem the "american dream" and stability they perceive being present here. Maybe they're content being at the bottom in america since the standard of living is higher here than in their home country, but they always end up in some circular reasoning where theyre like "thats just the way it is."
Besides, if the theory that he got screwed over by insurance with his spinal injury is true, all the more reason for him to go after the dude. Thats literally what insurance is for. The large number of healthy people paying into the insurance pools money that then goes to helping pay for other peoples bills in the event of some issue, even if the payout is larger than that individuals contributions
