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. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Yes, for making false statements and obstructing the investigation.
Exactly, because they were compromised. They could not answer those questions because they would incriminate themselves.
Or worse (better depending on whos asking) trump.
Edit:
If you can read the mueller report and walk away this incredulous you either:
Haven't read it
Aren't interested in the truth
Look, you asked which of these threats Americans should be more worried about, and I'd be more worried about armed criminal gang members than some spooks in Washington, because the former could pose a direct and immediate threat to my life.
Even if you're an illegal and worried about ICE, the worst they'll do is deport you and send you to an El Salvadorean prison, but at least you'll still get there in one piece. MS-13 will chop you up with a machete if you cross them.
Russian influence plunging america into a recession or their wet dream depression/schism is more of a threat to your life then MS-13, which I would guess is low odds.
By this same logic you should be in the streets protesting cars because you could literally die anytime you walk out your front door.
Depressions are survivable. Being chopped up with a machete is not.
We were talking odds. Depression would dramatically increase everyone's odds of dying. You think gangs are bad now. Let's bring on mass economic strife.
Edit:
Listen, this stopped being an argument 10 posts ago and somewhere in between became unpaid tutoring. I'll be on my way now.
Dude, it's like you're worried about dying of cancer while swimming in a lake full of alligators.
Also, if you're that worried about a depression making crime worse, wouldn't it be better if we deported all the foreign gang members first? Seems like that would at least slightly improve the odds of surviving.
