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.

Sorry I didn't read the entire book. Too busy trying to not being in pain and trying to survive in this helish world and trying to maximize my time with family, friends, and people who loving me instead of reading a book that who's goal is to tell me: "life is suffering, be happy about it because without suffering there is no happiness." Absurdism is symptom of gross inequality, not a valid way to live and a excuse to not fight for change. Entropy may be the natural state of the universe, and I will agree fighting it is a fruitless battle, but dancing with it and telling it to fuck off for abit while we fix some problems it caused isn't.
Instead of me wasting time on a damn book, why don't you explain the nuance I missed?
Oh, I'm not implying you didn't read the book. That part is extremely obvious. I'm implying that you didn't even bother skimming the wikipedia article.
Not really sure what I can do with that. Maybe you'll be better off wallowing?
I read the wiki, I read reddit discussions, I've skimmed other essays. I still hold my claims. What do you think I'm missing? I don't wallow in dispair, you act like I have a choice when it is the farthest from the truth. The only reason I have any remote ammount if happiness is that I broke the boulder. Sisyphus is a bitch.
Then it's a problem of reading comprehension, because absurdism is not that. Absurdism is finding joy in action.
Go wallow in your misery then.
Read just fine. I'm glad you find joy on action. For me action causes lots of pain due disability. So I must be selective with action. When you find no joy in action because every action brings you pain, it is very difficult to be happy in the struggle. The actions I do, like responding to you, have meaning becausey literal blood is within them. But there is no joy. I only feel joy something finally eases the pain. I'm sorry your philosophy did not hold against this human.
