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.

We are heading into a feudal system of a sort. The wealth gap is absolutly massive and the only way to end up in the upper class is to inherit. As per usual the population feels that the system is unfair, but is unable to see the real problem. Media is really pushing far right talking points, as the upper class realizes that the system is broken and a real revolution is a problem. Thats how the US ended up with a de facto monarchy. The UK is moving towards that pretty quickly too.

The good news is that Labour might make some really usefull changes. Mainly end first past the post to prevent Reform from taking over. That might very well allow left wing parties like the LibDems and Greens to win more seats and change the narrative.

It's in the making since 1971

We're headed for a revolution, of the French variety.

It depends on who "we" are.

If you're in the US, then bad news buttercup - you're already under the thumb of a ruthless insane dictator, and the economy is the last of your worries.

[–] Zezzoz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I already know that you are from the US because of the implicit defaultism of your question. Yes, it doesn't look good at all.

brought on by the dismal job prospects of many degree/fields too, even before trump 2nd term.

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Yes degrees are ridiculous nowadays. Graduates are ten a penny and debts are awful

before covid hit i was visiting indeed forums and glassdoors quite alot. and found out so many people are like struggling with thier employment. Indeed and glassdoor shut them down, because the employers/companies were threatening the site owners with lawsuits because it made them look bad, because people were reporting how terrible the employers were, unethical business practices,,etc.

i was looking at CLS program(which requires graduate schooling) in cali, and found out everyone wants to come to cali for the program(apparently very few schools actually have these programs , so naturali california was a state they would go to for a better chance in the field.)

We are always headed for a crash. That’s the cycle of capitalism without strong regulatory mechanisms to mitigate it. I believe it is every 4-7 years that a crash has happened in the last 300 years.

[–] Hikermick@lemmy.world 17 points 15 hours ago

Don't worry. Trump is making sure you can get a job picking crops. You'll be living in a tent. No rent, not utilities. You're welcome!

[–] loomy@lemy.lol 0 points 6 hours ago

we've already crashed

Slapping on tariffs at a time with inflation, high consumer anxiety, and wage stagnation is going to be looked on as one of the worst moves a president has made.

[–] Colonel_Panic_@eviltoast.org 11 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

He is, without a doubt, the worst and second worst president in the country's entire history.

Trump: "Ah, but you have heard of me!"

A crash? I'd say we're in a plane from which the pilot decided to press the "eject wings" button.

[–] vga@sopuli.xyz 5 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (2 children)

This is so absolutely adorable.

I live in country that has plateaued financially for the last 2 decades.

You'll be fine. Really. In opposite to what you might have heard, free market capitalism in no way requires constant growth. It can adapt to plateaus or degrowth just fine.

[–] turtlesareneat@discuss.online 4 points 5 hours ago

America doesn't do free market capitalism it does late stage capitalism, where profits do in fact need to be record high every quarter, even if that means people are gonna die (like 10m people becoming uninsured, plus us borrowing a bunch of money from China, so we can give more to the billionaires that own us and don't need it).

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 7 points 12 hours ago

Which country would this be?
