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.

Why don’t they wear suits? And how do other businesspeople take them seriously when they don’t wear suits? It seems super unprofessional.

Granted, but that's not my problem with them.

For one, I'm the weirdo wearing shorts in winter. Dunno if if call it a sensory issue, but I hate the feeling of long pants on my lower legs. I only tolerate it if I'm going to be outside more than a few minutes at a time.

Secondly, I have almost a religious level of intolerance for ties of any kind. This one I'm more apt to call a sensory issue. I HATE feeling anything on my throat, and buttoning that top button will result in me complaining about it. And the tie itself reinforces that strangling feeling, and I just absolutely hate how they look on top of it. Ties of all kinds are one of the things on the top of my personal list of instant red button issues. (And by that I mean the list of things that will send me from chilling straight into actual rage mode)

Also the cuffs give me a smaller dose of that same problem.

No judgement for others wearing em, but if you expect me to then your on my shit list immediately.

Thirdly, they feel more delicate than "normal" clothes, so I feel like I have to be hypervigilant at all times about damaging them or them getting dirty. And the material is so thin I can't stand it.

Everything else I wear is boring and all goes in the same laundry loads (no sorting lights and darks- even saying that feels racist). But it means paying attention how it's washed and shit. I don't got time to learn or care about that.

All the ones I've written had white shirts, and that annoys tf outta me, but wouldn't be a problem if they were more regular attire.

I hate the jacket as well. The squareness of the shoulders really skeeves me out. The only jackets I ever wear are hoodies. If it's cold enough to wear pants I might upgrade to a heavier one, but it's so rare that I can't remember the last time I had to do that. I also hate the look of dress pants and dress shirt without the jacket, so it's just bad no matter what. But my jack needs to be kinda amorphous. (Not sure that's the right word, but you get the idea I hope)

The last 3 of 4 times I had to dress up were so rentals, so the shoes were a problem for me too. The socks were annoying, but just a small part. But given the shoes not being mine, they're never broken in to my feet, so there's that.

I also almost always wear sandals, so having socks or any does on is less than optimal.

Sure, maybe I dress like a slob, but I'm comfortable and until you can find a reason to give af, I'll stay like that. I live in absolute terror of having a job with a uniform.

So it's not the lack of tailoring that's the problem. That might make it 3% better.
