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.

The absolutely biggest issue with the US election system is the first-past-the-post systems still in use, just use proportional representation.
That will enable new parties to actually have a chance of being relevant.
That in turn will enable better representation of minorities and special interest groups.
Once the US is out of this mess, refrom is needed, get rid of the idiotic electoral college and any FPTP systems in use.
Prop Rep is a hard sell. The part-person math is weird. Ranked-choice is an easier sell, so if you're looking to get off FPtP get people used to more candidates with RC before going all in with multiplayer prop rep.
You know how fucking lost you sound? I'm talking about how there is no possible way the GOP freely cedes power ever again and youre talking about fptp.
Calm down, no need to swear, I am not your enemy, I am talking about what would need to happen after a potential revolution, violent or otherwise, to prevent this from happening again.
Plenty of freedom movements have failed because there was no plan about what to do after taking power, or the plan was too vauge.
This is something that needs to be considered before a potential revolution happens, there also needs to be plans for what to do if the leader of the revolution refuses to complete the plan after taking power.
I am not lost, I am a few steps ahead of you.
Relevant username? Go touch grass, bro. Doom scrolling and posting on lemmy won't make you a happy person.
I do fine
Edit: lol at the downvotes.
No you guys are right, I'm on the edge of a knife. I'm constantly flipping back and forth between jumping off a bridge or hanging myself in the basement. I see no light in this dark, damp, dreary, dogmatic, doomed world. I am fading, the light is fading. Hear my final bleating cry.
